Very hit or miss, but overall they're even worse than they were before they held the Black Friday sale in November. They're taking 2 weeks to get out eBay orders, which used to be like 2 business days.

I ordered a dozen cards On January 31 and expected shipping date is 5/3/2021.

How much was the upgrade to Rushed shipping? Only $3 more?

Exactly!
My order from last week would take months if I chose the economy shipping.
For a few $ more, I did the next level & predicted shipping is March 11.
Was still a bargain since I had many slabs in the order.

I know during this USPS was brutal ! But I guess the question really is why continue to buy from them? They will notice if their sales are down, its the ONLY way that this company will understand, that this is unacceptible.

I have almost stopped buying from them. I have had 6 cards sitting in my account for a little over a year. I looked and someone had just listed an extremely rare card. I made a reasonable offer and purchased it.

I opted for the faster shipping option and it still says expected delivery April 3rd.

I bought a card on COMC on February 12th and the message I received was that the earliest it would ship was March 1st. However, it shipped February 18th and I received it on Feb 22. That was my first card purchase from there.

Didn't really look at the rush shipping. Most of the cards I bought were cheap and on sale so I figured I'd grab then before they were gone or off sale. Besides I have enough cards taking vacations with USPS. One even got a free trip to Tampa recently.

Seeing if anyone knows whether or not the shipping wait times have improved.

Looking today (October 4), it says my cards would take two months (January 4) to be delivered with standard shipping (I have no interest in paying over $20 to get the order sooner). Were I to request shipment today, is the January 4 date the 'real' date the cards would arrive, or is there a chance my cards would arrive relatively sooner? In other words, is their delivery date a strict, accurate reflection of reality, or do they simply add two months delivery time to every order and it doesn't actually take that long? Does anyone have any actual real world examples (not guesswork) of recent shipping results via standard, non-expedited shipping?

My last order with them was Paid for on Aug 31, and I received my cards on Sept 10. I consider that just fine

However, the packaging of the cards has gone down hill big time!!! My last two orders have arrived in penny sleeves heavily taped to a piece of cardboard, really pathetic!!! A few of the cards in the order I paid over $30 for, I would always expect a $30 card to be better protected than that!

I’ve purchased over 100 times from this company, and I think my days dealing with them are limited. They are going down hill fast

Interested in hearing others’ recent experiences! Cheers

P.S.- In response to the previous post, I find Comc ships much sooner than the expected ship date that you receive via email, good luck getting the cards in a top loader though

I just explored their website for the first time ever.

If you are into modern cards WOW great selection

Vintage Card not nearly as many but still some nice and interesting cards

But based on this thread from delivery time issues to packaging issues

I will probably have to pass on them at least until things improve

Things for the heads up on both that website but also their hopefully only short term opportunities

If you do not request and pay for a top loader, you get a penny sleeve.

I placed an economy shipping order on 5 Sep, my expected delivery has moved from December 21st up to October 30th. I won’t be using economy shipping again the next time I order from them. And I will as they have many 72 Topps baseball cards in great condition for really reasonably prices.

I would not give up on them all that quick but ymmv.
