Use it all the time as well.
Although the processing and subsequent shipping fees do add up. Also, if buying multiple cards from the same seller, in a lot of instances it is actually cheaper have the cards shipped to you directly.
The service is most suitable to get cards that you really want.
The online customer service for the most part is top notch through here, via email or social media. The over the phone customer service is awful.
Hope that helps!

I've just started using it, but looks like it's awesome and have heard nothing but good feedback from everyone as the previous comments mimmick.
Also like above, I have found that if you find a seller that doesn't use the Global Shipping Program (GSP), and you're getting multiple cards, it could be cheaper to just send to you. But for single cards, looks like it'll shave off at least $3-$4 per card at the absolute minimum (using non-GSP sellers as the example).

Not only is it fantastic to receive cards via, but if you sell cards overseas, you can simply send them (or post those you have sent there) to your COMC mailbox and list them for sale.
Possibly THE biggest improvement we've seen since PayPal came about (who remembers Western Union Money Orders?!?!?!).

It does add up though.
Ive found that when you go to request your shipment. Look at the number of cards you have BEFORE clicking next. Calculate (in your head) approx 50c per card plus the $3 base shipping price. Then click next.
It will lessen the shock of the total price, cos you normally forget that its another 45c per top loader for processing (which you would hope every card was sent to you in one)
For example. If you have 20 cards. Expect shipping of roughly $13, not just the $3.
I got shocked with that one a few times. Lol
Its still waaaaayyyy better than $7 per card from the USA at a minimum.

Having just had this question and sorted it, I believe you automatically have a mailbox and you simply get the cards sent to it "C/O Username", via the COMC address. They then verify once it arrives and keep it for you logged on your account.

Who remembers cashing in your money at Thomas Cook for hard USD and sending it O/S and pestering the eBay seller "Have you got my payment yet?"
Ha ha, a bit before my era of eabying. I do remember hassling my older sister to use her brand new credit card to buy me something from NBA store.
Those postage costs do add up! I'm actually waiting to get my 20th card in my mailbox before doing my next shipment back home.
It's a real shame sometimes that they don't allow you to use the holders that the cards come in, instead replacing with their own toploaders.
I think comc is a great place to sell $1-$10 cards and they usually move fast if you are the cheapest listed.
I think what @WoobieZarz means is, if you want to sell cards on eBay etc.
You send them to comc, dont price them on comc, but list them on eBay instead. Then when it sells, you can ship that card straight to your US buyer from comc. It makes your cards much more appealing to a US buyer when shipping is $3, instead of $21 from Australia.

Sold a bunch during the season. During offseason I've only move a few Parsons I had on there so it must have been the trade/USA interest. Seems quiet although I don't have that much left on there I have to say
