Quote:Originally Posted by GAC Absolutely a risk. If condensation results in water droplets forming and ultimately contacting the paper… well… that may not just go away. On the bright side, I don’t think the risk is as high given the materials involved (plastics)… but it remains a risk. I believe the best way to avoid issues is to avoid fully sealed containers. I imagine / know the CBCS slabs aren’t airtight. This helps avoid condensation issues. Now, if the container used for shipping is airtight or nearly so, I think that could be a problem… I think the speed of temp change, degree of “sealing”, degree of temp difference, and the transition medium (plastic for the slab) all impact the risk, along with humidity and temp of when it was sealed up… Sudden, sharp temp differences or humidity changes are of course never good… Edit: want to note that pressing with extra humidification hits all the points above (sudden temp change, humidity change, etc). That is why you see non-pros messing it up… but in light of an uncontrolled environment, I suppose you want to avoid these swings :-) |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave Thanks! OK, so it's something I need to consider. I'll bring the box in and let it sit for a little while. I doubt the packaging is air tight so I'll let the package warm up slowly. Appreciate the response! |

| @GAC I really think the risk is small. I also believe most of the risk is from the packer’s side - so I wouldn’t sweat it. Bad condensation pun. | ||

| Upgraded the laptop to Windows 11. I really don't see the need for the "upgrade." Nothing seems to be all that different. It's like putting lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig only now it has distractingly red lips. | ||

| So apparently free comic book day is in may, so I am a bit early, but I'm curious as to how you guys / gals approach it if you don't visit a local store? Last year, I bought a box from comics elite "I think", but it was kinda pricy for free books. Any thoughts on a better approach? I don't subscribe to any specific online store monthly, I typically just buy what I like from whomever has it. |

| Does anyone know at what submission size your books are sent back in two boxes from grading? I find 30 in a box leads to damage. 22 in a box has routinely shipped flawlessly. If I send 40 books in will they come back in 2 boxes? | ||

| @HeinzDad Stupid question on my part. But if you know this to be the case, can you divide the order into separate invoices that way you insure that your order is divided properly? |

| It’s not a stupid question. My thoughts have been numerous subs may gum up the works more????? I could be wrong, I unknowingly figure 1 large order may be easier for the system?? I don’t know. | ||

| I would imagine you would submit multiple orders in the same shipping box, and if they are dividing the return shipment into 2 boxes anyways, I don't see how that would cost you more. The only drawback I can see is that the books don't arrive at the same time. But if you aren't flipping them I can't imagine that being an issue. Personally if I knew that they can't ship a certain quantity without breaking, I would divide the order. I would hate to risk having to reholder anything if it wasn't necessary. Edit By the way, it's very considerate to think of the company first, but there is a time where you need to put yourself first and think in the scheme of things it's 1 submission amongst thousands. I don't think they will mind. |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad I have shipped multiple orders in a single box before and had no problem at all. I do that when I have books that need signature verification, because I know those will hold up the entire order, so I send them on a separate invoice in an envelope/mailer inside a bigger box with all my other submissions. Also, I think they will ship no more than 20 ~ 25 to a box. The Other Guy does the same thing. They'll break up big orders into more than one box. |
