PSA Submission Voucher questions

mcholke

I am sitting down organizing my next submissions and started looking at the PSA Submission Vouchers I have recieved over the past weeks for cards PSA would not grade for one reason or another. As I look, each one is different
2 Regulars
2 $12/ 5 day
2 Modern
6 Marketing Special ($5 1972 and up)

Has anyone out there had any luck getting PSA to combine these somehow to avoid the shipping charges for separate orders. The vouchers say non-transferable so it does not look like we could trade them on this board to try and match up service types? Any ideas?

I'd call customer service. Worst scenario they say no. Best scenario 12 free submissions/one shipping charge.
Good Luck, Bob

Kevin, nope they absolutely will not do it. I have had this fight with them. Even if they end up sending it all back in the same box, they still charge for separate shipping before they even get to grading. I guess it's too inefficient and labor-intensive to track different levels of service and get them back together (holding some of them) for a single shipment. They may end up doing that by chance, but they won't deliberately combine your shipping. Thus is behooves you to wait until you have a fair number of cards to submit under each level of service.

You can, however, submit them all to PSA in the same box as long as they are separated with their own submission sheets. Don't forget to write the FASTEST level of service on the outside of the box (such as "Set Registry Special") so it gets the fast track. The slower levels will be sorted out into the appropriate traffic streams. If you don't write anything at all, the box may not even be opened for quite some time and you paid extra for nothing.

I really hate the voucher concept.
The refund should be given back as cash so
that it eliminates these kinds of problems.

I agree..the vouchers are a rip when PSA is so restrictive with them and allows their use for only six months. Refunds should be made via the credit card used or returned via check. Can't be that hard.

I agree with Bryan & Richard. 2 of my vouchers have already expired. I paid cash money up front , why should I lose that because of some quirk in the system? In some states it's illegal to put an expiration date on a gift certificate which is very similar in practice to these vouchers.

Dave, I had an expired voucher for a bulk submission ($18 3 cards) and never really
looked at the voucher until it was too late. Since it was rightfully my money in the first
place, I called PSA and spoke to a nice lady name Laura Rosenthal , Rosenberg.....can't remember
the last name. Any who, I explained that it was unfair to have an expiration date if they were
going to keep using the voucher concept. The site clearly states grading fees will be returned for
ungradable cards. The voucher isn't the same as cash because Mr. Lincoln and friends don't have
an expiration date on them. She understood my claim and was told to send the voucher back attentioned to her.
She turned it into accounting along with my note explaining how I felt about it and I did receive a check
for the $18.....although it did take 2 months. I've said it before; I don't mind the voucher concept as long
as there is no expiration date. I mainly do bulk submissions, and I don't really know when I can get another
one ready to go. For future reference, she also told me that I can request a cash refund instead of the voucher
if I catch it in time (date cards were graded) before the order goes out.
