I went to order some stuff from COMC last month and when I was getting ready to checkout it said they wouldn't be shipping the order until August so I emptied my cart and have been avoiding their auctions on E-bay.  Burbank had a similar warning on their site.  Has anybody ordered from either of these recently?  What is the expected shipping date?  Are they being over cautious, if they are its hurting their business?  

Burbank is out of California and under stringent stay-at-home orders still. With that it will be a bit before they can access their stock and ship. I'm sure they have a large backlog to go through.

Burbank told me there's a 2-week backorder on shipping. My order from the 2nd still hasn't shipped

I placed an order with COMC through Ebay on Sunday.  COMC shipped the order on Tuesday.

Same issue here. I placed an order with Burbank Sports cards on April 31st. When I checked the tracking number a few days later, it indicated that a shipping number had been created, not shipped. I sent them a message on the 4th and they replied the next day with a automatic e-mail. It stated that they would be shipping on May 15th. I believe it will be long after that, as I think they have a large back log of orders to fill.

I've been wondering about this myself. Are eBay orders getting priority? Does anyone know for sure?

Yes      E bay purchased are getting priority.   

I placed an order with Burbank on 4/15 that arrived on 5/1. I emailed them because they are usually very quick and Ryan stated that all orders currently have a 10-12 day processing time due to staffing. That was on 5/1, so it could be better or worse for them by now. I haven't had any recent purchases with COMC.

Everything else I've been ordering in lockdown has been coming in pretty much normal speed - even from Jim&Steve's and they're in metro Chicago.

Bakersfield was also running slow when I ordered from them last month, so anything in California might be a bad bet right now.
