| Is anyone else as supremely underwhelmed as I am by the new CBCS sale? $5 off your next grading order, not $5 per comic, just $5 off the entire order..... I've been waiting for a sale to make a 30+ comic submission due to the Canadian dollar being so low and when I saw this I got excited thinking it was $5 off per comic, so I was finally going to be able to send in my submission after not being able to send it in for the Black Friday sale due to the Canada Post strike. Then I tested it out and found it was only $5 per order. Oh well, looks like I'm waiting again. Edit: For any who are submitting regardless the code is Comic5 |

| $5 isn't worth it for me as I'll have to spend more on sending it via UPS from overseas to arrive in time for their deadline rather than sending it using the postal service. | ||

| @Silversorrow I doubt it is 5.00 per submission as that would be a non starter for most everyone. It will likely be that it is per book, which would be the least they could do after the debacle of not attending the Mega-Con. Let's see what they say.... |

| @cinnamon Understood. Perhaps they will begin to understand that the short window for the submissions should be extended. Say maybe instead of sending the notification with the deadline in 12 days, they make it 20 days to allow everyone some time to get books prepared and shipped to arrive prior to the promo ending.. |

| @Nearmint67 If they used the date that it was postmarked rather than the date delivered, it would make a big difference for people sending orders from outside the US. | ||

| It takes me hours to get a submission together. If it's $5 off the entire submission, then that's seriously LOL. This would be like that time I gave a homeless man a Susan B. Anthony dollar. He thought it was a quarter and threw it back at me. |

Quote:Originally Posted by cinnamon Agreed. That is how they were doing these promos. Not sure why the changed it. But an extended window for submissions would be easy to do, giving more people opportunity to participate. Not everyone receives the promo emails. Sometimes they only post on Facebook or Twitter/X and then it takes a few days for the info to circulate to the CBCS submitting community. It's an easy fix. If the can get out of their own way so to speak. |

| That scales so badly. With the size of my planned submission that would save me less than 1%. They should have saved this sale for April 1st lol. |

| $5 per sub is rather odd, but to be fair, they've offered some good promos recently. That last one with the free sig verification especially. Was a great time to send in rejected Stans for a free second opinion. |

| That's a little over 20% off on grading fees for Moderns if the grading fee is $24. | ||
