COMC Mailbox Thread

Hi all; Monday morning here and I just got into the office - fwiw, there weren't any reports of site disruptions on this side of the water, and it seems like some folks over there were doing just fine - it may have been some issue with your individual ISP. Wish I could be more specific/helpful.

Did you get tracking? sorry, but if you get anything of value standard shipping you are taking a massive risk for the sake of $10-15

Moe said comc covers the value of any lost mail. Whether you choose standard or registered your still covered.

Your 1 of the lucky ones... it takes about 3-4 weeks to reach me in Melbourne. i hear off a lot of members that they usually receive in the 3 to 4 week range and sometimes 5, with a few say they consistently get theirs in 2 weeks.
Hi all, I recently started using COMC mailbox and I was about to request a shipment but I got the message that 'Your order does not qualify for $3 Flat Rate Shipping' and that 'One or more of these items was purchased from checkoutmycards.com or Advanced Reseller Mode and still has a per-item shipping fee due.'
Is that supposed to happen? Is there a way I can resolve the issue in order to get the $3 rate shipping?
not too sure if I missed something out here.
cheers.

oh I see. thanks for that mate. didn't know how it works and their site doesn't actually state the terms and conditions to the cards sent to the mailbox or I haven't found any at least. haha tough lesson.
So I guess it's much cheaper to not use the COMC mailbox service as I would end up spending more on shipping. So i've bought say 10 cards and I could have them shipped to Australia for $7 but in being an uninformed user, I decided to try COMC mailbox and ended up paying $3 for the seller to post to COMC and in addition I have to pay COMC at least an additional $12.50 ($1 processing fee + $0.25 shipping and handling fee, $0.45 for the ones with toploaders already on) to process the 10 cards I bought.
So in all, I would end up paying $15.50 for those 10 cards to be shipped to Australia instead of the original $7.
Wished I had more information regarding this service as somehow I don't see an indication of the true nature of the COMC mailbox service such as the $3 flat postage doesn't apply and the additional shipping and handling fees.
Could anyone possibly direct me to COMC's terms and conditions that states all this so that I guess I could reconcile that i was an uninformed user who found the COMC mailbox service too enticing.
Pardon my rant but I believe COMC is a great site but may I ask around on why someone would use the COMC mailbox service?
just wonder if I could make a case on consumer protection here as I believe consumers should have access to such an important piece of information (preferably through the COMC mailbox page). at this point of time, I find that the COMC mailbox page is very misleading. Safe to say that i am going to stop using COMC's services though I trust that they are a great bunch of people.
If I could put up a suggestion to COMC, it would be that they put up every cost that will be charged to a customer who is using COMC mailbox and how this service isn't eligible for the $3 flat postage rate on http://www.comc.com/mailbox.aspx.
cheers.
