It is takem longer to ship things on Ebay too.  I placedan order with them on Sunday.  I still waiiting for my order to be shipped.

I have not placed an order with COMC for a few weeks.  It always seems to take them longer to ship.  They are never my 1st option when buying cards for that reason.  Anyway, I just wanted to add a comment about shipping delays.  If you have anything going through Michigan at this point, you are likely to experience another delay in your package moving.  One of the centers around Detroit has been a hot spot for COVID-19 and I hear they are very short staffed.  

I just received an order from them last week. It took about a month.  Was a little bit worried, but it all showed up.  It was a longer period to get it into the shipped status than i would have thought it would have been, but no worries.   They sent an email early on in the process letting me know becuase of the rona they might be a delay.  I was not dissappointed.  

I have purchased 2,241 cards from them.  1st shipment was 9-23-2011  last was 11-30-2019.   Most shipments have be 100 card at a time.   I  have 69 cards waiting to be shipped.     The shipments has taken  from 4 days to 25 days to get to me.  If it is them or the USPS I do not know for sure   The longer times appears to be during their sales.  All shipments have been the cheapest way.

I watch serval forums that have postings about COMC.   They really get into it.    Per them shipping toke a turn for the worst when they started the Auctions plus that was just before  the (lock down) started.

What I'm getting is that they tried to expand without adding more personal.   That delayed and caused problem everywhere.  Now with the lock down the few people on site can do only so much.  They are still running the auctions and accepting card.  

My last order from them was place on March3 and shipped April 4. I reached out with a pleasant email on April 4 and just asked how the shipment was doing and if there was an estimate of when it may ship.

Never hurts to gently remind them.

When I started this thread, its intent wasn't to bash COMC.  I've made purchases from them many times before & have always been satisfied with what I received.  I was mainly asking if other collectors out there were experiencing extremely long delays too.

Well, I am happy to post this update & say I just received an email from COMC that my order is officially in the shipping stage - tracking number and all.  It did take six weeks to get processed, but I'll let it slide "this time" :)

I've only ordered from them twice due to the $5 flat S&H charge, but my cards shipped quickly each time, so it could be just a combination of the current environment and a significant backlog.

I placed my first order on March 4, does that mean I'm almost but not quite next?

I guess, since us Sheb-villains gotta stick together.

Requested shipment on 3/11.  Finally shipped on 4/8.

Requested a second shipment on 3/23.  Still waiting on it to be shipped.
