Is the $400 limit based on the raw value of the book or its value once it has been graded and slabbed?

[Danger Haggis]

I would like to take advantage of this deal.  I have 15 books (for now) ready to go.  All meet the requirements (all 1975 or earlier, $400 or less), but my cart doesn't show the deal from the discount, or my 10% off for my membership status (I'm thinking of upping to the next level for 20% off).  I should mention I have a custom label picked out for each book.

Does the discount only get deducted once the books are received before the deadline?

Is this offer available for those of us not in USA?

Hi

Here is our declared value policy.

Declared Value Policy

Submitters to CGC are required to list a declared value for each collectible in their submission. The declared value is the submitter’s best estimate of the current FMV of the collectible, based on a recent purchase price, a comparable sales result, a price guide or other reasonable method. For ungraded (raw) collectibles, base the declared value on an ungraded example. For graded (encapsulated) collectibles, base the declared value on an equivalent collectible of the same grade.

CGC does not assign values to collectibles. If CGC determines that a collectible is undervalued and does not qualify for the tier or services selected, it may adjust the tier and charge the appropriate difference in CGC services, grading and/or services fees based on its determination of the collectible’s current Fair Market Value. (Note: CGC will adjust the tier even if the collectible is later determined to be not genuine, altered or otherwise ungradable.) CGC will not, however, change the declared value originally assigned by the submitter.

In the extremely rare event that a collectible is lost or damaged while at CGC’s facility, the submitter will be compensated based on the collectible’s current Fair Market Value (as defined below) in the condition in which it was received by CGC; provided that in no event will the compensation exceed the declared value listed by the submitter on the CGC Submission Form. It is therefore very important that the declared value listed by the submitter represent the collectible’s current fair market value.

Fair Market Value: For the purposes of this Policy, the “current Fair Market Value” is the value of the collectible if it were to be sold, as determined by CGC in its sole reasonably exercised discretion. CGC will determine the current Fair Market Value of a collectible based upon what CGC believes, in its sole reasonably exercised opinion, to be reliable current market information. CGC may use actual pricing and sales information available to it, including prices in the actual transaction history of the collectible in question. However, due to the volatile nature of the collectible market and Internet auctions/sales as well as the differences in buying habits of different individuals, such information may not necessarily represent the accurate current Fair Market Value of any particular collectible, which again, will be determined by CGC in its sole reasonably exercised discretion. CGC reserves the right to use the declared value listed by the submitter on the CGC Submission Form as the current Fair Market Value, and in no event will CGC’s determination of current Fair Market Value exceed the declared value listed by the submitter on the CGC Submission Form. CGC’s determination of the current Fair Market Value will be absolute and binding on all parties.

It is my  understanding that the discount will be applied after the submission is received.

Bummer that I did not see this a few weeks ago. I don't have time to put together a stack and get it down to Florida before the end of the month.
