Quote:Originally Posted by tylerindo I get it. This song and dance has been performed a thousand times. With a little research one will learn that CBCS is back logged and customer service has its problems including sending notification emails. This does not translate to lost books. I've got two submissions with CBCS right now sent May and July with little notification. But because I've been here long enough and read the posts/threads, I know what's happening. Certainly look into a delay before concluding or suggesting lost books. I guess I'm old school that way. |

| If people dont raise a stink they wont fix anything. One day they will get tired of fielding complaints on forums and facebook and hire someone to work in the warehouse to take care of issues. Until then they are shooting themselves in the foot with this kind of customer experience. | ||

| @GAC Oh i know they do. But they have had this issue for 2 years or more, staying silent wont help. I know what your saying that all the bitching wont help either. But its a fact if you get your books back and say the labels are mixed up or even the cases are cracked, you would want to make one phone call and get a prepaid shipping label in return. Thats not happening. I am not ok with that. | ||

| Send them back without a pre paid label. Cracked slabs are the carriers fault anyway, problem solved. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Rongro I disagree. Adding expenses changes the equation and usually means prices go up. Some of us are good with the equation the way it is. We feel that we are getting what we paid for. If prices go up, then we might be less likely to get value for what we paid. Especially those of us who don't lean on customer service much. |

Quote:Originally Posted by GACI do as well... I was there before but it wasn't as bad then. The forum as a complaint outlet is off-putting, not that it matters what I think. Forums, Facebook, Reddit, blah blah blah, are online communities though. Hang out, kick it, talk comics. I guess I'm jaded and old. More wise people than me have said, "If I see a thread I know I don't want to read I don't open it". Thats me with this one, and I tried after the 6th edition. |

| After having 16 of my books for more than SEVEN months I still have no answers as to when my books will be graded and sent back to me. I'm excited that this company has more business than it knows what to do with, but they need to hire more people to process orders. This is getting ridiculous. I asked for my books to be returned to me back in October and was told I would not get a refund because my books were already being processed. I emailed again this week only to be told the exact same thing! At this point, I just want my books back. CBCS can charge me for the cost of shipping but process the rest in the form of a refund. Nowhere on their site do they say it takes more than 7 months to get books back to people. |

| This is exactly what I want to do. I know there is no refund for graded books, but if my books aren’t even graded yet then I should be able to get my books back with a refund. I will cover the return shipping. I just want my stuff back at this point. | ||

| @Josh7945 I was told by Darryl Hayden (Sr. Sales Exec) that they don't offer refunds. When I did more digging they have an "F" rating from the BBB. Once the dust settles on my orders I'll never send books to this company again. It's beyond frustrating that they seem to believe treating people this way will help them keep business. Comic book collectors, especially those that want their books graded, clearly have the money to spend to get their books protected. Seems like an opportunity for their competition to step it up and win a lot of business based on the countless complaints I've found on this forum! |

| Essentially at this point it’s not really a refund though because no services have been provided. It’s been more akin to a no interest loan from me to them. I just want my property and funds back. | ||

| @Josh7945 @jcarterPDX Can't really say that I blame you guys, your request is not unreasonable. I would consider though, if you actually do want to burn this bridge permanently. Down the road you may have a signature that you want to get verified but ended the relationship with the one company that can provide that service for you. My recommendation would be to finish the submission, and then evaluate and decide at the end of it. | ||
