Hey, you wanted those cards THIS year???

Yeah, they have done the same to me and its terrible... you will prbly get a five dollar coupon only good for shipping which you will not want to use

Handsome Wes · 12-19-2025, 01:31 PM

I placed a second order a day or so ago and there are about 750,000 items ahead of me

I made the purchase as a "Merry Christmas to me" gift and I will receive it as my Valentine's Day gift to myself

(I honestly don't mind; I ordered like 180 cards, most of them base / commons. Of course I'd love to have them in hand, and sure I'd love to get them sooner, but I probably saved* a bunch of bucks by going through them)

*okay, a lot of these I wouldn't have purchased if they weren't easily available on COMC, but sure I'll spend an 33 cents to pick up that 1993 Kenny Lofton

Ship date pushed to 2/21/26
Now 524,844 ahead of me. Unless they have a plan, they should just push the date out 6 months.

Also, I thought it funny that they sent out an email highlighting the benefits of "buying now and shipping later" lol. A very diplomatic way of saying "we're not shipping you anything any time soon, so don't even think about it".

Zero chance you have it by Valentine's day. It's more like an Easter gift to you yourself.

This feels like PSA circa 2021. Setting unrealistic expectations that they know they can't hit. My order referenced above is only 6 cards. 1/27 for yours is impossible if my 12/5 order is now pushed to 2/21.

Don't believe the cards ahead of you and the estimated shipping date. If you shipped bulk, than it is probably the case. However, people are getting orders picked and shipped well ahead of items ahead of them. It is a mess right now, that we can all agree on.

Skipscards · 12-28-2025, 02:02 PM

My bulk order was target date of Jan 26th and I got them on 12/20.

cruiserdaddy7 · 12-28-2025, 03:28 PM

Anyone try and order with Fanatics Collect lately(old pwcc)? They are terribly backlogged as well. I'm at 4 weeks and waiting for items purchased in their weekly auction.

mrdallas · 12-29-2025, 10:27 PM

Fanatics Collect is the Old PWCC? I haven't been on here in a while, but with all the Shenanigans and BS PWCC pulled I was hoping they would have just disappeared. One of the worst scammers in the last 30 years. These guys should have gone to jail

scal · 12-30-2025, 07:21 AM

My order of ~500 cards just got pushed back a month with almost 400,000 cards ahead of my order.

f2tornado · 12-30-2025, 10:26 AM

My 11/26 shipping request still has 355k ahead of it. It was around 580k when I put in the request. That's about 200k per month. If nothing changes, an order placed today might ship mid to late April.

This is surprising to me considering prices are higher than ever on the site and good deals are farther and fewer between. I used to easily grab 5-10 cards a day for shipping on COMC but have only purchased 12 total for that purpose in the month since the Black Friday event.

xarchmadanx · 12-30-2025, 03:58 PM

They have time to run their ebay live auctions multiple times every day, but no time to be responsive with customer service or pick cards for shipments. Needless to say, I hope the public loses traction and places them in cancel culture. They won't be getting any more of my business.

Bob Ross · 12-30-2025, 04:56 PM

How quick are they shipping out from their ebay store?

My guess is, that's why shipping direct from site is so far behind. Shipping from eBay purchases are pretty on time.

notoriousrmb · 12-31-2025, 07:39 PM

I've had orders shipped while it still shows 100k+ cards in front of me. I don't think they update that number much at all.

anusinha · 12-31-2025, 09:04 PM

i had a standard order ship with 300k cards in front of it

This is disgusting.

Status:
Tracking: Not Shipped Yet
Date Requested: 12/3/2025
Estimated Ship Date: 3/1/2026
Items Ahead of My Order: 462,277

I went on their COMC Ebay Live... The guy was trying to apologize saying they weren't directly affiliated. Yes... Yes you are. You are all catching paychecks from the same ownership group. I explained to them it would be quicker to send my cards to an ebay auction and buy them off of myself. Pick your poison at this point.. grade your cards at PSA, or have them shipped from COMC. It's becoming a neck and neck race to see who can deliver the quickest.

Genius! I didn't even think of that. I'm in the same boat with my 12/5 order. And the items ahead of mine keep going up...

Limp Triscuits · 01-06-2026, 08:40 AM

Was trying to get my shipment before my birthday(1/7)

Date requested: 11/14/25
Estimated Ship Date: 1/29/26 (was originally 12/19/25)
Items ahead: 196,542 (Been in this range for about a week & a half now)

dodgerfanjohn · 01-06-2026, 08:50 AM

I don’t understand the complaints.

First, you knew or should have known this was the case as it has been for about 4-5 years now.

Second you also knew or should have known that the predicted ship date and the number of orders ahead of you are meaningless numbers. It seems quite a few of you are utterly fixated on the numbers provided, when everyone knows those numbers are utterly meaningless.

This isn’t to defend comcs business practices. I couldn’t care less what comc deems fit in that regard. What I am concerned about is my choices. What I can do regarding the situation. And that part is abundantly clear. I can buy or not buy on comc.

But complaining about numbers everyone knows are cooked? I don’t get it.

Bottom line is comc’s attitude is “we’ll ship when we feel like it and you consumer can suck it”. Choose or not choose to patronize them knowing that’s the situation.

hammerva · 01-06-2026, 08:56 AM

Yeah at this point you should expect a shipment to take about 3 months regardless of whether you are paying $10 or $100 for shipping costs. Their main priority is the millions of COMC bids on Ebay and getting those out as fast as possible. You think that they could hire more people but who knows

Hopefully they keep providing those credits like the last time.

PuddleMonkey · 01-06-2026, 10:37 PM

Not sure what the problem is, what are you guys doing wrong?

mfw13 · 01-07-2026, 11:34 AM

With COMC, everything is pretty random.

I've had both the orders in the past few months ship much faster than the dates I was initially given.

A lot of it has to do with the complexity of your order....it's the pulling of the cards that takes time, not the actual shipping.

If you place a small order with cards from only 1-2 sets, then it will be much easier to pull & assemble than a larger, more complex order.
