Is COMC shipping out orders?

I have a July 4 order that hasn't shipped yet. I know there is a delay but 3 months seems long.

    if you bought off Ebay, then they get them out quick to preserve their good standing on Ebay...if ordering directly from their website, then it is taking eons..

    I put in an order on June 4th and shipped around Sept 10th

    I requested the end of July and their website is showing possibly next week. So seems to run about 3 months if ordering from their site.

    I had a June 24th order ship on October 12th.

When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    I know we are in a pandemic, but 3 months seems excessive. if they can get their ebay orders out in 1 day...

    they are located in Washington state I believe.

    It is a little shady that eBay orders go out on time. I would think they are making a higher % profit on website sales since ebay isn’t pinching their cut.

    Looks like I will be sticking with sportslots going forward. Those orders ship fast

  • If Comc isnt the way to go, what else do you guys recommend? I've never tried sportslots

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,136 ✭✭✭✭✭

    My July 4 order that was supposed to go out Oct 5, was promised Oct 14 after I sent an email. Still not sent. I asked them to cancel the order, hopefully they will follow through on that.

    I'm sticking with Sportslot from now on. COMC really hurt their on line store business if these delays continue.

    100%. their covid delay from months ago should have easily been fixed by now. instead they are getting progressively worse. a lot of folks have lost faith and are attempting to pull out rather than risk an all out internal implosion w the possibility of never seeing their cards again. it's a very real possibility.

    I got an email yesterday that my Aug 28 shipment request was being packaged. Still shows January delivery. Very frustrated and unhappy. If I knew that was going to be the case, I would have not accumulated that pile of cards. Every other business seems to have adapted to the current situation. As Joe B would say, "C'mon man!"

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,136 ✭✭✭✭✭

    COMC helped me regain interest in completing set. I will give them that credit. It does seem there is a level of mismanagement going on. At the end of the day their website is a key part of their business, neglecting it seems odd.

    Sportslots is a little more of the wild wild west but for the most part, sellers are good. I would recommend you double check all shipments for missing cards. Usually not intentional, just a mistake.

    plus the cards were already logged in, they don’t have near the incoming or outgoing orders to process AND they aren’t even grading them. 4+ months to just pull and ship? making psa’s turnover rate look good.

    something isn’t right there. envisioning something like this:

    I've found economy rushed the way to go as well. A couple more bucks ensures that cards are packaged and shipped in a timely manner. A lot I requested shipping on earlier this week is scheduled for arrival on Monday.

    This.

    I just pulled all my cards (due to arrive March 2021...seriously) and will not order from there again.

    Thought process is, if they can’t operate their business in a manner that allows for reasonable shipping times, I have to assume they are not financially stable. 5 months to ship a single card is beyond a joke, there are obviously issues with the business.

    For anyone of you that have a significant value of cards there, I would be concerned. Don’t assume you will get your cards back if they go under.

    I cancelled my July order and they did credit me back. I agree that this may not always be the case. Like I said before, their website is their business.

    does anybody have money in the comc account? i have a few bucks that i have had in there for a while. been trying to spend it ever since last friday and every time i try to make an offer or buy outright, it takes me to an "error" screen that simply displays "we are working on it" and my email address entered in a " would you like a notification when resolved" box.

    Yes, I've had about 65 sales in the past month including several this morning so I don't think it's a global issue.

    well i would try to give them a call, but i got things going on this week. 😉

    So where is a good place to sell some cards? I have some cards I want to sell and I REFUSE to use eBay to do so. Should I just keep trying to on various forums?

    instagram, but if not established it might take a while to build a rapport and learn the ropes.

    graded? i would go myslabs.com. upside: only 1% commission fee taken. downside: gonna take a while to get thru and set up. prolly a solid 10 days. momentum and popularity seems to be gaining sharply. they pay thru paypal so it will count towards your 200 item, $20k uncle sam criteria.

    graded or raw and don't wanna wait for myslabs? consign to pcs. fast, honest and safe. they post items to ebay within two weeks of receipt and have done nothing but a spectacular job for me thus far.

    other than some very high end items, i have quit listing on ebay. fee wise, it's cheaper just to let pcs do it.

  • Mickey71Mickey71 Posts: 4,252 ✭✭✭✭

    This group of posts has to be the wackiest ever. I'm assuming, it's only a matter of time before folks are going to start getting ripped off. COVID has nothing to do with this whatsoever and actually is offensive that they are hiding behind it as a reason for 4 month shipping. I'm sure people who have been affected by the illness would not think that this is cool at all. Anything over a week.......what could possibly be their reason for this BS ??

  • billwaltonsbeardbillwaltonsbeard Posts: 3,748 ✭✭✭✭

    I've been a long time COMC member/user. I believe the current shipping problem boils down to their staffing numbers. They've been advertising that they're hiring for months.

    Combine that issue with the prioritization of getting orders through Ebay shipped out first.......us regular members and our shipment requests have been backburnered big time.

    I have an order of 222 cards that I paid to have shipped on January 26th. They gave me a shipping date of April 28th.
    It's now been 5 months and no cards.
    In that time I've received six small orders (10 or fewer cards) that I paid for AFTER the large order.
    Since this company first came on the scene I doubted the business model. It's just too labor intensive to work at the prices they were charging. Now they're using the pandemic as an excuse to gouge customers for shipping.
    I've been saying for the last year that this is a ponzi scheme. I hope I get my cards before the jig is up.

    No Ponzi scheme.....your order is pretty large and it's possibly just hung up with a lost card or two. Send an email to customer service today

    I ordered 5 from them in mid-March and haven't seen them yet, FWIW.

  • olb31olb31 Posts: 3,352 ✭✭✭✭✭

    i have two orders waiting to be shipped one is new and one is from february. i have contacted them twice about the old order and get a stamped answer. before february they were shipping out within 60 days - 75 days.

    time for them to walk the walk, done with talk. maybe move to a state that will let you work. the west coast is still back in april 2020, just can't move forward.

    Work hard and you will succeed!!
  • dictoresnodictoresno Posts: 1,003 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I dont know what you guys are doing wrong. ive ordered a few times from COMC in the past few months directly from their website and all the cards in my order shipped within a week or so.

    ive read so many horror stories and can't fathom what's going on but ive never seen the shipping issues everyone else has sen,

  • Mickey71Mickey71 Posts: 4,252 ✭✭✭✭

    If they haven't sent my cards for 6 months.....I would definitely just continue to send them money. Some of you card addicts crack me up. This thread is so ridiculous. The company is basically embarrassing. They should get no business until they clean up their act which appears not going to happen.

    West Coast been fully open for awhile now homeboy. Not sure what your talking about?

    How much did it sale for is one of the funniest and most ignorant things I've ever heard.

  • olb31olb31 Posts: 3,352 ✭✭✭✭✭

    none of the restaurants were open around the staples center the other night for the suns-clippers game. maybe they just didn't want to make money. didn't look fully open then.

    want to see something really funny, just take a look at their ebay feedback. how they havent been booted is beyond me.

  • ndleondleo Posts: 4,136 ✭✭✭✭✭

    COMC should be a Harvard Case Study on how to completely ruin a great business. COMC brought back my interest in set building and they would have me a customer for life.

    I also pulled a Gold Upper Deck hockey coin and guess what? COMC is the fulfillment house! So I have a gold coin sitting there for the past six months. That has to be one of the bigger sob stories on the board.

    As bad as that feedback is I've seen worse the past few years. As long as eBay gets their cut they seemingly disregard all else.

    Amazing how many folks will let a seller get past 30 days.

    COMC just sent me an email that they will be at the National. Someone should post a video of the booth to see if they actually exist.

    major juevos. gotta give them that. hopefully they got their reps riot gear.

  • I've only used COMC 3 times in my life, but all have been since April. In each instance, the estimated shipping date they gave me ended up being spot on. I have all 3 orders in hand and never waited more than 3 weeks. At least in my case, they've been great (so far anyway.)
