ComicConnect loooooong shipping delay12319

Forum Crier OGJackster private msg quote post Address this user
Anyone else having problems getting their books sent to them from ComicConnect? I paid for my auction wins on May 24th (6 weeks+ ago) and still haven't received my order. I've called 3 times to check on it and I keep getting the run-around of, "I'll call shipping and see if they can expedite it for you". I'll call again tomorrow to see what they have to say. I'm thinking they just bit off more than they can chew and don't have the staff to keep up with the large number of items auctioned off?

I supposedly won a couple pieces of original art. I can't tell if I was charged and I have yet to see any sign of them. I think it was the same auction.

I didn't win any auctions but I made some purchases on May 22nd (2 slabs 2 raws). I think I got my books a couple weeks ago. Not sure exactly how long it took.

My invoice says, "Thank you for your purchase. In keeping with our high standards in processing, packing and shipping your orders can take up to 3 weeks to ship out of our facility."

I'm coming up on 7 weeks. I will be calling tomorrow.

Direct any questions
to SUPPORT@COMICCONNECT.COM or call (212) 895-3999.

Yeah, I think one of my orders may have just shipped. Took a month and a half. On order, which I won around the same time still hasn’t shipped and I don’t think I’ve been charged for. For 20 dollars shipping this is kinda ridiculous, but oh well.

@OGJackster

They were short on staff for a period of time. Not sure how it is now. I initially paid for my invoice right after my last purchase. Payment was pending on my credit card then just disappeared. They then ended up charging my card more than the initial invoice. Initial one did not have tax so I was surprised by that so I thought something was wrong. I wasn't happy to find they charged my card the new amount without even notifying me.

Yes I’m in the same boat - they cashed the check on June 6th and a month later still nothing. My first time buying from them and will be my last.

They do have to wait for the sellers to actually send the comics too. With the way shipping is going, who knows how long it could take.

I thought they had them all on hand since they post the pictures for the auction?

Nope, they have to wait for the seller to ship the books.

If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8. xkonk private msg quote post Address this user
My guess is what @moodswing said. You have to wait for two different shipping periods. CC not having the books on hand is also why you have to be extra careful with their raw books; they're listed at what the seller thinks they are without any second opinion.

Monday was the six-week mark for one of my orders. Emailed them to ask about it - haven't heard a peep back.

I'd placed another order about a week before that one (had forgotten until I checked out how much they charged for shipping), and I got it in just over three weeks. Can only imagine some of the holdup on this second order must be them waiting on getting books in from the seller(s).

Either way, patience is wearing thin.

I placed an order at Metropolis (same company) 5/26 that hasn’t shipped out yet. I emailed them June 28 and they wrote back on the 29th that it was in their shipping department and should ship out “soon”. They are always relatively slow, but this is definitely longer than normal.

Called again to check on my order, same 'ol song and dance. "I'll call shipping and see if it can be expedited". Verbatim what I was told the last 2 times I called. "Maybe the end of the week, if not, Monday."
We shall see.

They stopped replying to emails obviously. I emailed an inquiry for status and never heard back.

@Dollarbill

They are terrible at replying to emails. Like I mentioned before, they said they were "short staffed". I just recommend calling. The one time I did, I got right through to someone.

I know they will give me the run around .. I’ll give them until the end of the week and then call .. I’m almost tempted to ask for my money back but that might take just as long ...

I'd settle for a voucher for free shipping on my next order.

FWIW all the books I sold in Comic Connect's last auction were shipped to them well before the auction started.

I'm sure if you ask for a refund, they will threaten you with not allowing you to participate in future auctions.

I won't ask for a refund. I've been buying from them for many years. I'm just frustrated, I'm waiting for my Walking Dead #1 9.8 to get here!
