Quote:Originally Posted by GAC yeah..I e-mail them and they just said that model didn't come with a cover and that it was 'additional purchase from alternate brand' just crazy - would have thought the tub would have come with at least a standard chrome one. Nothing I've seen seems like it would work - even the ones @Davethebrave linked to. I figure since the reno isn't done we'll see what the guys suggest but I may silicone or epoxy a traditional plate in and go from there! just the oddest thing - not that I have much experience but this is a different setup than the normal one just about every tub I've ever seen has! (or some variation on it)  |

| maybe...maybe..this is it? Looks like this kit uses the old plate to hold the clip on assembly where mine just has the clip on base as part of the tub? Hate things on-line - would love to get one in-store in person so I could try it out and if it didn't fit just return with no shipping BS etc. I must be getting old - I think this is the stupidest thing ever if this is really what is going on - and for a tub manufacturer to handcuff you to a new style that it appears no vendors really carry - and maybe even my install guys as the overflow drain does not have the standard screws - but maybe they did that because the tub had the built in fitting - I don't know. It's too late to have a drink so instead I'll just curse at the world over and over in my mind!!!   |

| @KatKomics I agree with @DrWatson. That is very dumb. They are essentially selling incomplete bathtubs. WTF?! I've never heard of this before. Good luck on your search! | ||

| Has anyone purchased from Comic Connect before? If so, how was the shipping cost? Was it as expected/normal/average? Or was it really high? I know shipping to Canada will be more than within the US but just trying to manage my expectations. I can't seem to locate information on international shipping from CC. |

| They are Metropolis. Shipping takes three to four weeks in the US. Check Metro's shipping rates on their website. They should be the same. I've bought repeatedly from Metro, but I've never officially bought from CC. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC I didn't see a shipping rate either site. You'll probably have to create an order to see what the shipping charge would be. That would be a lot quicker than asking. |

| The weirdest thing happened... I bought a collectable (one of those 3 inch miniature tv's that play a few minutes of clips from a tv show - in this case, Friends. Got it for my wife. Here's an example... (this isnt the seller) clickable text This isnt the seller but this is the item I bought. It came in the mail poorly packaged. The LCD screen was damaged. And would not play. I emailed the seller about it and she said "I'm a small business, I cant afford the return". I felt bad so i said "I'll do the return anyway but i'll put $5 cash in the box to cover your cost of return shipping". She never replied to me again - completely ghosted me. Her store was one of those "mama's attics" type stores that sold old collectable spoons for like $4 each and baby shoes for $5... So started the return. eBay provided the label. I shipped the item the next day with the $5 dollar bill inside. It was delivered. Several days later, eBay stepped in and refunded my money. This is the weird part. 6 days later, i get the same box box in the mail via USPS Priority Mail. She put a new shipping label over MY return label, and had a few priority mail stickers all over the box. Also, she never opened the box - My note of apology AND the $5 bill was still inside. So not only did she lose the original sale, she paid for the return shipping, AND she PAID another $8 to ship it BACK to me... This happened 2 weeks ago. Haven't heard anything since. I haven't messaged her and dont plan to. Such a weird experience. Anyone have something like this happen? |

| My buddy gave me a bunch of raw books to sell. If they are under 200$ in value per book, does it make sense to press before sending it to mycomicshop.com? What should the approximate value cutoff be before pressing and then sending? |

| When selling low value books (Between $100 to $200), where have you received the higher price from? MyComicShop or Ebay? Curious if anyone has noticed a variance in price between the two. |
