PSA Submissions mixing services - What a joke?!

Does everyone know that if you get a slab that is cracked in the mail and you want to get it reholdered, that you cannot submit it with your psa submission?
It is considered a "SEPERATE SERVICE", and because it is a "SEPERATE SERVICE", you need to pay for it seperately and it has to ship back to you seperately.
They then charge $16.50 to ship it back to you instead of just shipping it back with your order.
Is there any sense to this non-sense?
I think this is the last straw with me and PSA submissions.

Sounds like a good policy model to follow.

How do you know? Did that happen to you?

I have sent in mechanical errors with a sub and never had any problem. A cracked slab is technically not PSA's fault or at least you have no way of proving it was their fault.

I agree, but if it arrives cracked, it should have been insured against breakage... so they at least owe a no cost replacement because they can file a claim and get that $ back.
<< <i>When you pay for the shipping and insurance from PSA, the USPS is insuring it. You should pay for the reholder, and if you have a beef about it, that's why you paid USPS for the insurance in the first place. >>
So the person receiving the card should have to pay for the cracked slab? Because technically you paid PSA to pay USPS to insure it when they returned your items.
If they're damaged on the way to PSA, the submitter is accountable for handling the insurance claim. If they're damaged from PSA to the submitter, PSA should be accountable for the insurance.
I am just talking about having to pay $16.50 to pay for it to be shipped back seperately from a PSA submission I sent it with.
If you have a card with a cracked slab, you cannot send it in with a psa submission in hopes of having your card reslabbed without having to pay $16.50 additional to have it shipped back seperately.
<< <i>Forget how i got the card. I did not get it directly from PSA. >>
Actually that makes a HUGE difference in this scenario.
I stand by what I said above, but I said it with the assumption that you received the cracked holder FROM PSA. I thought the crack happened when the cards were being returned from PSA.
My fault.
Now that I understand the situation, I agree with what cnote said.

I never understood why it is so hard for PSA to do the same thing.
For example... you send in July special, two $15 10 day specials and a $30 express grading ( Because your card books for $1k, not because you want it back fast). You should have the option to get all three subs back in one package, IF you are willing to wait on the July special turnaround.
This would benefit everyone. I have a couple of memorabilia cards and some autos, I wouldnt mind sending in, but Im NOT going to send in 4 of each and pay the ridiculous USPS registered charge for each sub. I therefore only send in the special sub and do not send in the others with it. PSA loses a handful of cards I want graded. Granted, they probably do not care about losing 5-10 cards of business, but do that a thousand times over and its a major loss.

You will pay 4.50 plus whatever the shipping pro rates to, plus of course a reslab fee (if it fails the review) If it passes you don't pay.
Also, if the card is high end for the grade crack it out and send it in raw with your order. (no reslab fee)
Of course all this depends on if you are doing an order. Which the way you wrote your OP it appears you are.
