ComicConnect is giving buyers in the Berk auction six months to pay. Not me, unfortunately. If only you had contacted them prior to the auction, you could have taken advantage of their offer of no payments until the pound clears $1.50 again.

___ Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 How long does comic connect take to normally full-fill orders? This was my first time shopping with them (jon berk) so was curious. I would have thought they would start shipping right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at least for one of the board members here, it sounds as though they received their order last week already: On 6/21/2017 at 0:50 PM, Artboy99 said: I have received my auction win today!

I paid for FedEx priority. They shipped it the day after the auction closed. My item was from the day 1, and typically Comicconnect ships the items in the order of the auction.

That means for everybody else that ignored CC's nasty email demanding immediate payment and waited until Friday to see if we would win anything else, we are out of luck. Now, our orders are stuck behind the hundreds of others who were probably waiting for the whole auction to end before making payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

___ Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 (edited) I think I won something from 3 of the days and waited until the end, so mine is probably at the bottom. Wonder if it matters form of payment to or if over the 2,500 credit card cap (which is a load of ) Edited June 27, 2017 by 1p36DSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am never in a hurry either. The last time I got my orders from CL and HA, I asked them to keep pushing off shipping my orders for almost 3 years before I finally got around to asking them to send it out to me. That was pretty much 7 years ago since it was back in 2010. I don't believe they would hold orders any more, as they would probably try to charge you a storage fee nowadays.

Robot Man Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Probably the "wine guys" go to the top of the list. My last win was a "W" and I paid the day after the auction. I just got a notification yesterday that my card was just charged. Hopefully, good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent them my invoice number and asked for a specific date of shipment, they told me 7/5 out the door. I paid the extra to do overnight shipping as I don't want Berk books doing a layover at some fedex destination to save like fifty bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
