Catastrophe

[BrianC]

I bought a CGC graded comic on EBay and just got it in the mail. It was shipped in a brown cardboard envelope and was demolished by the post office. A corner is cracked off and it the two bottom corners are open. I contacted the EBay seller. How should I go about dealing with this?

Ask nicely for a refund and the cost to ship it properly back to the seller.

 

If they say no, simply open a PP dispute and eBay dispute.

first, out the seller. second just send it back for a refund, they can get the money back from the insurance

Here is a link to the original listing:

So dingdongcomics packs slabs poorly...

[jessebrook1]

If you look at his Ebay feedback, board member Branget has already had to deal with this guy.

I thought this was a joke, but nope.

[JazzMan]

You bought from a seller called ding dong comics? :doh:

[thirdgreenham]

Oh, and this is far from a catastrophe.

Is the book damaged? If just the slab I damaged and you still want to keep the book, send the seller pics and kindly ask for re Slabbing and shipping fees so you can send to CGC. I think Slabbing fees are $13 per book. Shipping and insurance to and from should be about $30 USPS round trip.. So $43..did you pay $80? Seller might not want to send you half that amount even if they packed poorly. If so, just request full refund. Wolverine 1s can be had in any grade any day of the week

+1 Wiser words have never been spoken...

How much did you pay for shipping is my question. I don't think a slab can be properly shipped for anything under $10. I usually use a priority flat rate box which is $12 ... but hey, they get there undamaged

[JazzMan]

From the listing, shipping was free.

Apparently, you get what you pay for.

Would have been in better shape if you just slapped the label on the slab and put it down the chute.

Step One: Buy a dictionary and turn to the "C" section.

Step Two: Read the definition of the word 'catastrophe."

Step Three: Thank your deity that there has been no catastrophe.

Step Four: Slug yourself in the nuts with a length of heavy rope.

That's true. A real catastrophe would have been if the OP opened up the package, discovered his cracked slab, and then 10,000 fire ants poured out of the package while he simultaneously spilled an entire jar of honey over his nether regions which were exposed from him just getting out of the shower.

Depends on how far it's going. I can ship a slab, bubble wrapped and priority boxed very well for $7-9 to a pretty good portion of the US.

Ding Dong,

the slab is cracked.

Which ol' slab?

That Wolvie slab!

Ding Dong,

that Wolvie slab is cracked.

 

sorry, had to
