How do the CGC Express Coupons work?

[D Edge-migration]

I thought that each coupon entitles you to one free submission, but I find if I enter in three books in the invoicing system online, and then specify I have 3 Express Coupons, it still comes up with a charge larger than the shipping charge!

 

I thought that joining the Collectors Society was worth the $99 because of the three free submissions, but now I find that a coupon doesn't even cover the cost of one submission. What kind of scam is CGC running here?

[shadroch]

don't know why that would be. I've joined twice and all it cost me to submit the coupons was the shipping and for insurance.Are you factoring in the insurance?

Calm down there. Could be a glitch in the online system. Call CGC and report it. My suggestion is to use the paper invoices that came with the certificates (asking CGC for assistance) or wait for the problem to be solved.

 

Thanks for the headsup as I will be using this year's certificates soon.

Ah, I see what you say about insurance, and yet, this raises more questions. Once the book is slabbed wouldn't one want CGC to insure for more than the allowed maximum. Also, since I am in Canada, I thought CGC only declares the grading fees. If they declare a book value, then I may be charged duty.

 

I'm getting confused. Why is the book value important? It seems greatly underestimated. I probably need to phone them and ask.

BTW. Will everybody please stop referring to them as EXPRESS coupons. They're not anymore.
