    I did file a claim through the Oregon Department of Justice and they contacted me today via email.  They attached a letter to the email.  See below.

    Wasn’t that LLC dissolved and another one set up already? So should a complaint be made against the new one? 

    edit: a post on page 12 links to the filing (HRC OREGON LLC)

  2. I sold something non-comic related and buyer canceled maybe 30 mins after paying with the reason of "Order placed by mistake." I relisted the item and was tempted to call them out in my listing (i.e., "relisting this because buyer [insert name] canceled after winning the auction"). Maybe a little petty if I did that. I really should just block them and move on. Just venting out loud I suppose...thanks for listening. Carry on.

    Direct confrontation is pointless if the customers do not consent to their books going into the hands of a third-party that does not have insurance (we are operating under the assumption Hero Restoration still has insurance at this point).

    Not sure how LLCs and insurance work, but can you have insurance for an LLC that was dissolved (I think someone pointed out his LLC dissolved in the other thread?)

    When does CGC Charge my credit card. I purchased a membership and then sent for magazines in to be graded. During the invoice process, when it is time to finalize the order, and it calls for the credit card information  I then clicked on the submit link and continued the process of printing out the invoice and sending everything in. I assumed that, like all other websites I have used, once you finalize the order it charges the card immediately, Just as it did when I paid my membership dues. Apparently there is some time before CGC charges the card. I looked for some place that explained this process on the site but could not find one. It is possible that I missed it. This has to create problems for both CGC and there customers, If CGC does not charge first then there could be issues with there not being enough money to cover the charges due to there delay. I am trying to make it possible for CGC to collect any outstanding fees so there is no delay in turn around time.if there is no explanation of the charging process on there web site, there needs to be one so that CGC and it's customers can be on the same page. Thanks. Dreadful Delay 

    They usually charge once they input your submission into the system (typically "scheduled for grading" status), so it can be a few weeks after the submission actually arrives at CGC. If you have any credits, they'll apply it then as well. If you are also having them press the books, they charge for pressing and grading separately (pressing charge when it's scheduled for pressing and then grading charge when it's scheduled for grading).

  5. Should just fill out the form, pack it up, and ship it to them. They charge you when they get it and put it into the system for reholdering. There is a chance they regrade it and it comes back with a lower grade. I think the ReHolder option is under the Regular Grading Submission selection.

    As sellers, should we not be shipping to other addresses? If they give ample notice, is it not still ok?

    Really up to you if you want to ship to another address other than what's registered on their account, but it could be a set up for a scam...

    When you submit books for prescreening can you set a different minimum grade for each issue in the order or do all of the books have to have the same minimum grade?

    I believe it has to be a single minimum grade for the whole submission since there isn't an option to set it for each book. I suppose you could break it out into multiple submissions but then you'd have to pay the separate return shipping and processing for each submission.

    To be honest, I can't tell.  I didn't press on it or anything like that incase it made it worse.  Genuinely hope it's not on the book itself.  It looks silly rated a 9.8 but the whole cover is a mess haha

    If anything like that gold superman cover incident, then I think the scuffs are likely on the slab itself and not the book. If you go to the QC subtopic, there have been a lot of previous discussions/complaints about the scuffing and newton rings:

    Thanks for sharing this.  It just looks so bad with an otherwise really nice cover.  All my other books look good. Anything I can do about it?

    Can try to contact CGC and show them pics to see if they'll offer a reholder service which may or may not solve the issue (been hit or miss for folks). But you have 14 days from when you received the book back to make the claim.

  10. The "liquid halo effect" sounds like newton rings (see below). Seeing your cover with what looks a foil cover reminded me of the exclusively graded gold foil Superman from late last year that was horrible with newton rings and interior scuffing. While nothing has been confirmed (or admitted), some suspect they have been trying to minimize newton rings by scuffing the inside of the slab or applying something on the interior slab that results in the smudging and scuffing (not sure if any of that is true).

    Hi. I am a newly paid member of CGC and have submitted my first lot of comics. I have just received the invoice for this and it would appear that the $150 credit hasn't been applied to the the invoice, nor has the $20 credit towards the shipping costs. 

    I was wondering how I go about rectifying this issue? 

    In my experience, they apply the credit after they receive the submission and put it into the system (when they typically charge your card). Not sure about the $20 for the shipping. Or are you referring to the voucher for the shipping kit that new members can get? In which case, that's just the kit you can order not for shipping fees of a submission.

    But as others have suggested, can always contact them for clarificaiton.
