Have you seen my comics? posted by Hepgwyn

4 comics traveling west, missing possibly dead...

 

Well I was holding on to my post about the 4 comics I dropped off with CGC at ECCC this year until they returned graded. I was even showing remarkable willpower in not checking the grades in advance online. They departed CGC on Thursday the 23rd, they were last seen by the USPS on Friday the 24th departing Tampa for Seattle supposedly to arrive on Saturday the 25th... no updates on the USPS tracking site since then. I waited the required 5 days from departure before contacting the postal service and inquiring as to the whereabouts of my comics. I'm now waiting for the 48-72 hours to elapse before they promise someone will contact me. Trying to not think about all the bad outcomes and hoping the box is sitting somewhere unscanned and not, fallen out of a truck or a plane, crushed into dust or stolen by some comic book villains. Where's spider-man when you need him? Oh yeah getting re-booted.

its registered mail right? for some reason, the registered mail sometimes shows up as priority in the system, and has an earlier arrival date listed than is reasonable. registered mail isn't going florida-seattle in two days. I would say 7-10 business days would be plausible.

 

don't worry

At least you were smart enough not to look at the grades online as you can never count your chickens before they hatch , I never consider anything a done deal until the CGC box is safely inside my house and even then I hope there will not be any cracked slabs inside

Oh and yes, even after receiving a CGC shipment notice it can still take 10 business days

Revat is correct. My shipment before this last one took 9 days after the tracking started.

Thanks all,

 

That does make me feel better.

 

I wonder why the post office can't tell from their own system that it's not really priority mail and have to go through all the trouble of having people like me harass them.

I look forward to hearing about their arrival at your house. However, I started using the UPS option.

My last group took 11 days from Florida to Maryland

It takes about 10 days to NY with USPS Registered Mail. I was told that it is because all registered mail is locked up each night at whatever location it is at.

Yup... what I've experienced as well!

After 14 long days a cowboy on horseback delivered my comics. I'll post some pictures this weekend.

Glad you got them. I just saw your new post. 8.0 for a handed down comic is great. All key books and wise coupon choices.

Thanks a lot.
