Anyone check out the HOME page? It looks like there's ANOTHER 20% off sale going on. This one has a different Promo Code and ends January 5th (not 6th). Pretty confusing to have three promos in a row, with overlapping dates, and all different codes. And this one (today's) guarantees 4-week TATs (I don't think that was guaranteed on the second promo, but it was on the first one). Anyone else confused by all this? I know after the Spider-Man promo we were told that there would be more special deals, but why all at once and in what seems like such a disjointed way?

Son of a biscuit. That's a lot of sales in 2 weeks. Maybe I can scrounge up a few more to along with 52 that I've already submitted. We talking postmarked or received by the 5th?

Sent in some books with the Holiday20 promo.....not sending in anymore no matter the discount until I can hand them in person in June....which by the way still waiting for my June 7-9th 2019 order to make it back to me. I think they need to scale up the pressing side of the business!

if they could train pigeons to fly/target bombs surely they can train up people on pressing!

Maybe if we write both "NEWYEAR20" and "202020" on our Invoices we can get 40% off!

@Darryl_H Just to confirm, the 202020 promo code has to be postmarked by the 6th, correct?

And what, if anything is the difference with the NEWYEAR20 promo code?

this is one of the books I'm sending in with the promo. After I bought if from gac, had it out to press it with my other copy. That's when I realized the inside and back covers are blank. Has anyone seen something like this. Looks like a printing error. I want to send it to cbcs to see what they will say about it.

Since the 5th is a Sunday if it is postmarked on the 6th it will qualify for the promo

I've been reading posts about TAT's for pressing. I sent in 45 comics with this Holiday Sale, with 10 comics to be pressed. Does that mean I won't see any of these books for six months or so? Or will the non-pressing books be completed and then I get the chance to ship them back to me separately, hopefully within the stated 4 weeks TAT? My daughter has college tuition due coming up and I'll need to move a few of these pay it!

So today is the 6th, last day to post-mark. I shipped on Friday the 3rd. Who among us procrastinated until today and got in before the lock?

My best guess is that you should have broken them out on two invoices for separate return shipping. Maybe you can contact CBCS and have them do that for you? That way the press books don't hold up the rest.

@EbaySeller mine went out today, wasn't going to be able to take advantage of the first promo, just too busy right now. Almost wasn't going to do the extension, happy I was able to squeak them out

Me too, couldn't get organized in time for the first promo, but they got me with the second chance offer. And then I was more organized, I motivated enough to put together a second submission!

@EbaySeller, @Darryl_H, I just got the notice my comics were in possessing, separated into two invoices, one with all the books for pressing. So it looks like they handled my mistake efficiently and correctly.
