Got my submission, 4 books had the wrong labels. How do I get this fixed8739

Collector wildmind private msg quote post Address this user
I just got my submission of 30 books back. 4 of the books had the wrong labels. It was not double checked and the wrong labels seemed to be applied to the wrong book. I sent two emails to customerservice@cbcscomics.com but never got a response. I called the phone number on the website and a beckett representative took my case. Today, I got an email instructing me to send the 4 books back with my next submission of 5-10 books. I called and I spoke to two guys. It seems their customer service are based in India. He told me that he gave me a solution to send in a new submission with the error books. I told him that was unacceptable. I wanted to ship the books back now and had the labels fix. The books have been paid and I don't wait to wait. He said I could wait a few more months when I have a new submission to ship with these books.

Who can I contact to get this issue fixed? I waited 6 months to get these books back and I prefer for this issue to be fix asap. So far, no response from their email. Beside the long turnaround, anyone else have other issues? Is there a real CBCS customer representative here?
This has been really frustating.

Huh, keep trying I guess. But, they may make you wait. You'd think there would be a method besides complete re-submission.

wow not good I have a 62 book submission and 18 are yellow label!!! Hope they don’t mess my stuff up! I know they recently hired a ton of new employees and have expanded a bit. Might be why you keep getting someone other than that nice lady with the southern accent who used to answer the phone!

Yeah.. I don't quite understand what the issue is with labels either.

Look at the label. Dan jurgens did not sign the book it was applied to. Neither is brett breeding. The labels were incorrectly applied to the wrong books

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

Unfortunately you have to call Customer Service and explain the problem. They will reslab the books for free, but you are on the hook for shipping back to CBCS. It would be nice if this was offset by credit towards a submission.

I had a similar experience recently where CBCS quality control fell asleep at the switch. I emailed twice and got no response. Emailed a third time and got a response. I shipped the book back and they quickly turned around a free fix.

Hopefully you having posted this will get someone's attention at customer service. If not, my advice is to keep emailing customer service.

These threads are far too regular ...

The postage costs involved in fixing these errors would probably pay for better QA

@eee91 did you end up paying for shipping back

I would think some kind of compensation would be a must in this situation. Paying to fix a companies error is BS.

I to am having an issue with my invoice. It’s saying I only payed for one VSP on a Kevin Eastman cover when I’m fact it was signed twice with remark and original art by him oonce on the front cover with remark and once on the back where he did a full page sketch and signed. All witnessed 🤗. So Definitely unique in my opinion! But it only shows I paid for one sig and sketch? so I know they are having issue s especially with there recent expansion But even though I’m having an issue I know they will fix because the other issues I had with my invoice they have corrected perfectly. Plus it probably is typo and will fix once they process them through and notice something ain’t right😉 sent email so just waiting for reply but I like to be optimistic also for every one else having an issue, remember patience is a virtue!

When there's a verified sig and a witnessed sig on a book, what color label are you supposed to get?

I believe it would be red because of the verified sig.

I understand growing pains and that mistakes happen but on my last TWO orders I had debris in my slabs that couldn’t be removed with the blow air or slide a piece of paper in trick. CBCS told me the same, “ship them back to us with your next order” .... My next order? I just shipped in two orders. Now I have to wait until I have any other books to grade and pay additional weight to and back from CBCS. Not cool. When Zak was at the helm of customer service return shipping was paid for and I was credited shipping cost to CBCS. I love CBCS but this is just frustrating 😭

@mattness THESE IS THE WAY TO LOSE CUSTOMERS NOT GAIN THEM. ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT CGC GOT CBCS BY THE BALLS AT MOST CONS CBCS CANT GET INTO. CBCS WAS BETTER OFF STAYING IN FLORIDA.

Any book with a Verified signature will get a red label even if there are witnessed signatures on it also.

You don't have to wait to send them back. There are some customers that prefer to hold off on sending books back in a case like this so they don't have to put together a separate shipment.

I think what’s confusing is that Customer service has recently started to only mention the “send back with an order of 5-10 books” option, which can be confusing and frustrating for customers. I’ve done many returns to CBCS in the past and I was thrown off by the response from customer service when I contacted them last week. I’d imagine newer customers wouldn’t even have thought to ask about the option of just shipping the books back, and, as this thread shows, even long-time customers are misinformed that CBCS will leave you on the hook for return shipping. Not that long ago customer service would ask the customer to include the shipping receipt with their return for reimbursement. They seem to have become less diligent about that in the past couple of months.

Finally, CBCS should be clearer about those reimbursement options. On previous returns I’d receive a check in the mail for the shipping amount a few weeks later. My most recent return earlier this month, I was apparently given a credit. This isn’t necessarily bad, and I imagine the credit allows you to reimburse the customer wuicker than mailing out a check, but I think the customer should be given the choice. Considering how easily and how hotly tempers seem to flare up, especially after the recent run of extended turnaround times, seemingly forcing customers to submit more business to CBCS to get their full reimbursement for an issue caused by CBCS seems like it could cause more discontent. The store credit issue is further exacerbated by the fact thatthe CBCS website lacks any meaningful way to keep track of credits and coupons. Perhaps provide the option of a credit or a refund via check or card.

In conclusion, I think CBCS needs to be clearer and provide more complete information about the options available to it’s customers

@TimBildhauser I appreciate your response Tim, thank you
Unfortunately, it seems like we (the customers) get different answers to the same questions depending on which CBCS rep we speak with..which only adds to the confusion and frustration.

CBCS asked me to send them a copy of the receipt and they would credit me.

@dielinfinite I work remotely from the Dallas office and have no contact with the India CS department. I see no reason why people would be told they need to submit more books in order to get an error on our part corrected.

There's still things that need to be sorted out and cleared up from the buyout & move in terms of policy & procedure changes. I realize that changes of this nature can be frustrating as far as the shipping reimbursements go. Our priority, that almost everyone in the office was focusing on, was to get TAT back on track and now it is (down to about 8 weeks).

There have most certainly been some bumps in the road in the last year and things are at the point now where you'll start seeing the results of the work that every member of the CBCS staff has been working to achieve. As we roll things out I think it'll change a lot of people's perspective on CBCS in general. It's going to be drastically different this year than it was last year.
