| Hi, I am looking to submit my first ever comic in January to CBCS from the uk and wondered if there was anyone who had any tips on postage, insurance and what service worked for them? Plus do you have to use fedex or usps to send or have the books returned to you? Appreciate any help offered! | ||

| Hi mate, probably a lot easier to use a facilitator. Check out Tim Plumbe of Hobgoblins Hideaway, you can find him on Facebook, he's a good guy and will help you out. | ||

| Thanks for the quick and helpful response. I’m probably one of the only folk on the planet without Facebook lol. Does Tim Plumbe have a website do you know? Convention or postage there’s still gonna be some waiting time lol, I’m after getting a signature verified too. I basically have all the info I need apart from the postage insurance side of things. | ||

| @Rich87 Now then I always use Fedex through parcel2go, I use their express service and it gives you the option to put as much insurance on as you feel suitable, depending on the comics your sending. They are fully tracked and land at CBCS in a couple of days. The way I figure is the less time sat in depots/vans the less chance of loss or damage. I’m UK based, so thought it might be more relevant. Good luck with your first submission. |

| Thanks for the tip! After a bit of digging I’ve learnt it’s a kinda unfair avenue for us comic sending folk as if the worst happened and our package was lost we would have to prove the comics worth. Maybe I am wrong but from what I read if you have a comic worth a lot of money but only paid a few pounds many years ago then you would basically receive the cover value. Just a question Ironwill75 when your comics have been slabbed and a ready to be sent back to you is there many options cbcs’s end or is it fedex and usps? Sorry for if this has been covered in other threads! Newbie alert and many thanks for the help! |

| @Rich87 When you fill out the submission form , it will give you the options for return delivery, the downside is it’s quite pricey back to the Uk, FedEx I believe, but it’s well packaged and efficient. I’ve not had any issues with this side of things . |
