TrevorP24 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 This is a pie in the sky wish, but I'm sure I speak for all Canucks when I suggest this. It would be awesome if CGC had an office in Canada (I suggest Calgary). This location would not have to be for grading comics (although that would be incredible), but rather a central shipping location for Canadians. It is so much more expensive to ship comics to the states. I know that the "competition" does this. To submit to the alternative in Canada you can send it to their office in Canada and then it gets shipped off from there. Another thing that could be done, is reholders in Canada. Reholders require no graders! I have many books that I would love to get reholdered, but the shipping costs are just too much to make it worth while. I'm sure I'm not the only one in this situation. To recap: 1. Please get a location in Canada that we can ship to. 2. Even better, do reholders at this location. Fellow Canadians please support this!

mintcomics1 Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The competition actually stopped the shipping service to their US location. Totally agree that having a location in Canada would be fabulous. The border officials sometimes slap a fee on shipments even though its just a service and you can appeal the decision and get your money back but its a huge hassle. If they cannot set up shop north of the border, maybe some kind of temporary solution at a convention or for a weekend would be cool - watch that slab machine go! Very unlikely, but ya never know.

Shipping comics from Canada to the US and back is very expensive. TrevorP24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Border cities (e.g. Vancouver) can used Chit Chats for reduced postage, as their service trucks parcels to USA postal service Monday to Friday. mintcomics1, TrevorP24 and thehumantorch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorP24 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 CGC used to come to conventions in Canada. I used them every time they came to Calgary Expo. At the very least come back to the conventions! aardvark88 and mintcomics1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobo1969 Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 My shipping costs have been cut by 50% or more from the USA by getting a Fedex account and having shippers use GROUND INTERNATIONAL service. And you only have to wait a few more days than next day shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedKryptoniteSuperman Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Great idea, but I think that opening a location in Toronto would be ideal. LOL -RKSM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I like the idea as well, I have several books I would send for reholders if it was in the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be profitable if they had multiple services likes cards and comics at a Canadian location. Once the word got out with strong marketing and consumer confidence was high, it would do very well. Plus that would cut down on the number of submissions to Sarasota.
