All I want to do is talk about COMC

[727sportscards]

A standard 2000 card shipment placed on 11/9 was supposed to be shipped on 11/20. Still hasn’t shipped and has been stuck on 101,000 ahead for a few days.

Just placed another 1000 card order and there are over 750,000 ahead of me

Considering getting off of COMC.

Then I see how many cards I have on ePack & COMC.

Ugh.

Running a low-margin logistics business in one of the costliest metro areas in the country is tough, and there's not much obvious advantage to being there, so the idea would be to move the company fully out of the Seattle metro. Two issues:

1) That's not really feasible unless your senior management team/ownership is willing to relocate or sell the company outright. And frankly, as long as COMC is profitable enough to pay Tim's bills, Seattle is a great place to live.

2) Even if you get past #1, relocating COMC would probably be really hard and really expensive.

I misread the initial post. I thought the OP wanted to have several warehouses throughout the nation.

Requested my 150 card standard shipment on 10/23. Original ship date was 12/1. It’s now been stuck on 54,598 ahead of mine for 9 days with the ship date being pushed back a day, every day. Ship date is now estimated at 12/20. I won’t hold my breath.

Their shipping is broken.

This will be my last order.

Maybe I just missed something but did anyone else notice they no longer seem to use the "drop-down"-style listings on newly added ebay items?
I.e. you can´t buy 5 copies in one order anymore. Need to buy 1 + pay shipping. Listing ended, then a few hours or minutes later a new listing appears.
At first I thought it was just hot cards that move fast but even e-pack inserts of rando players that have hundreds of copies on site, get listed that way now.
What would be the point of this? 1 buyer buying 5 cards + reduced shipping for additional items vs. 5 buyers buying 1 card + 5 times full shipping cost?

I opened up one of COMC’s eBay listings and it looks like they *should* still combine shipping…

Domestic Shipping
Combined shipping for multiple items is available. To receive combined shipping, please ensure all desired items are in your eBay shopping cart before proceeding to checkout. eBay limits orders to 40 items per order. We automatically combine multiple orders placed on the same day. If you place multiple orders on the same day, please contact us to request a refund of applicable shipping costs.

It may be unintentional. Sometimes ebay changes their policies or software code and comc has to adjust. If it's a software glitch or unintentional change, it's possible that ebay puts it back and comc will be able to list multiple again. Send them a question through zendesk and see if they can get it fixed.

I just noticed recent PSA subs through COMC jumped from April due dates to May due dates. So looks like they are now building in a 20+ week buffer for PSA slabs submitted through COMC.

It's retroactive. I have several pending that were due last week and are now showing late January.

[finfangfan]

What’s crazy is that it doesn’t seem that long ago they bumped up 12 week PSA turnaround to 16 weeks and now they bumped it again to 21 weeks. How long until it goes to 26 weeks? I think people are saying PSA slabs through GameStop are also taking longer so this one doesn’t seem to be totally a COMC issue with delays.

What's the over/under on when we hear COMC is bought by Fanatics/eBay/Collectors...? How many weeks?

You posted the same thing in this same thread less than 18 hours ago.

Same with me. I had several due back in November that I paid extra to submit faster. Now they are showing January/February dates.

What?

I have some pushed from late February to early April. They're minty OS1 GPKs so it's still worth it but god damn.

[boxbuster7]

just went to sub a card to psa and the estimate is 21 WEEKS!

lmao

[finfangfan]

Tag grading option opened up to me… it’s $21 for standard soft launch for 6 week turnaround.

I ended up submitting 5 cards (most in the $50-$100 range) to start things off. I honestly thought it would come in at CGC pricing. Quick turnaround will be nice though and I do think the cards I chose will look nice in the Tag slabs.

Seems a bit high cost, PSA is $25 and CGC is $17. Would have expected in the $15-18 range.

[hanes1111]

This was a new one. I submitted cards to be graded by PSA on 11/18. They had an estimated due date of 12/24. I just checked them and they moved the estimated date to 2/4/2026. Also it was 46$ per card and the last grading submission I did with them was 23$......Should I have saw this coming?

You get the 360° video, so there's that

[boxbuster7]

$21 for TAG

lmao

easy pass

for a company that has literally zero market share of grading that pricing is ridiculous

[KhalDrogo]

Cracks me up to see all these Instagram posts with people shocked that their estimated shipping date is 2 months from now. Are people that oblivious? Just wait until they see the realized shipping date.

Has anyone had good results with eBay auctions through COMC? I sent 140 cards to auction recently. The top 10 cards did okay but for everything else the results were terrible - e.g. cards that are selling for $20 get one .99 cent bid and I end up with zero (it costs .99 to list.). Or the same card sells for $2.25 instead of the $20 others are getting.

I do not understand why this is happening.

Bazillions of cards out there...

Auctions are only beneficial for top names or new releases.
