My Order Is Going to the Wrong Address5484

Collector jaked6698 private msg quote post Address this user
The latest: My order, according to FedEx, landed back in Mount Juliet, TN. This is approximately 12 miles from where I live. It was supposed to be delivered by end of day yesterday. Daniel with CBCS even called me to give me the news. Once my package did NOT arrive, I checked the tracking again. At this point, it read that the package was in Phoenix, AZ. If the tracking information is correct, this order is in a perpetual cycle of traveling from east to west. At this point, I believe my order is lost. If it is not lost, the chances of it arriving unharmed are slim to none. This is a nightmare. On the plus side, it seems as if CBCS is trying to correct the original mistake.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user
Just to put things in perspective, approximately what value do these books have (just a rough guess of what you could reasonably expect to sell them for)?

I don't mind telling you which books are involved and the grades the site says they received:

Secret Wars #8-9.8

Uncanny X-Men #101-7.0

New Mutants #98-9.2

Amazing Spider-Man #361-8.0

As far as the value goes, I would hesitate to assign a number. I will let you be the judge.

At least it's [apparently] still in the continental US.

@jaked6698 So far it appears that CBCS made mistake and is trying to fix the mistake. Your books are common enough that it should be easy to put a value on them (or approximate the cost to obtain substitutes). In the worst case that your books were lost CBCS could still give you fair value or better to make it right.

It is a bit early to panic.

This reminds me of the episode of The Wire when the longshoreman steal the cop surveillance van and ship it to every port in the US while slapping on the local union sticker to the van. Your books must have touched just about every major FedEx hub.

Make no mistake about it, CBCS has been super responsive since the initial issue in which the wrong address was imported. As previously stated, I do not think they have been untruthful in any thing they have told me.

Update: I finally received my books late yesterday afternoon. Everything was miraculously in good shape.

Did the package have these kind of travel stickers plastered all over it?

It should have been approximately 728 miles. By my estimate and the landing points, my order traveled 10,678 miles before arriving at my house

Hey, look to see if it earned enough frequent travel miles for a trip of your choice.
