Does the 10% member discount apply to Pressing fees?

UPDATE: After a week of calling everyday and and getting no answers, having my postman personally looking into the issue, and my mom going to our USPS office and leaving empty handed, I am just now told it's been sitting in that same post office for a WEEK and that they had put it with the international mail....how the hell does that happen?! How does a package that is supposed to be under max security get put in the completely wrong place? AND they can't even figure out the mistake?! There is nothing international about it! So now I will be going to pick it up tomorrow, a solid 10 days after it was supposed to be delivered. Oh and the original tracking info was completely wrong, said it was an hour away and going to be delivered on a Monday, but then delivery was attempted on Wed. The USPS is completely inept when it comes to registered mail...I am setting up a FedEx account and never using registered mail again.

this is a huge loophole in the system....a buyer did that to me with a signed comic, requested refund and sent back an unsigned version of the same comic...total scammer and eBay did nothing for me despite calling etc! a buyer can send back an empty package and the seller will usually be screwed in that instance and in any case will have to put a lot of time and headache into it.

I see what you are saying but it really doesn't matter because if the $120 offer person was willing to pay substantially more, then surely they would submit another offer, or two or three to get above the limit....otherwise they would never get near a price that could be agreed upon. In other words, the person that gets an auto-reject at $120 and does not even re-offer at $125 will never negotiate to $150, $165 etc....and the 1% potential sale opportunity where that might occur is simply not worth the time/hassle of negotiating the 99% of cases that it won't occur.

Appreciate it, feeling pretty stupid now...USPS is such a joke, and the people are just the best and brightest you know? I sent my poor mom the other day to our local USPS to see if she could get the package..,and they refused to even check if it was there!

I thought that was the only choice, at least CGC made it seem that way, the forms say something about $100 insurance limit for FedEx/UPS. I don't have a FedEX account if that makes a difference.

Somewhat unrelated but i'm having a nightmare right now trying to get my USPS registered mail package from CGC. USPS Registered Mail is not only slow but the tracking is a joke, and the mail carriers often don't even know where the package is even if you investigate. they attempted delivery almost a week ago and I scheduled a redelivery and waited all day/night that day and the next & they never redelivered and of course the tracking never updates after that....I had to send my mom to the post office and no luck, been calling them for days and people keep saying they will call me back, they literally don't know where my package is even though it's been in my town for ALMOST A WEEK since the original delivery attempt....basically if you don't have someone at home at all time then you are screwed because once the first delivery attempt fails then good luck...this happens every other time to me. and my local usps is NOT open saturdays and I can't go during their meager business hours. whole thing sucks

No, the SDCC website is crazy and the Artist's Alley list is not reliable, last year there were several people there that were not on the list. But as far as Starlin it seems he won't be there and doesn't come to the west coast much it seems, but goes to plenty of cons on the east coast.....BS!!

Agreed...the "0.5" grade for a missing ad page etc. is ridiculous because CGC is not doing any GRADING, and the "condition" does not matter....makes zero sense. To me a missing page or ad should always be given a green label and the rest of the book graded as usual....either that or a missing ad page for example should only drop the grade down a smaller about...but taking it down to 0.5 makes the whole thing pointless.

@Kevlar will you have a booth at SDCC? If so under what name?.....and will you be accepting Signature CGC submissions? thanks

Will you be accepting subs at SDCC 2018? If so for what artist/author signings? Romita? Lee? Starlin? thanks

I'm finding it hard to know who will be signing at SDCC, especially based on past experience. Does anyone know if Jim Starlin will be there? Any other big old school names like Romita Sr.? Sinnott? Neal Adams is usually there. Hoping that people can share any knowledge on this thread.

Cash in indeed! that would make sense. thanks

Does anyone know if he will be there? and if so will he be signing for CGC/CBCS? It's so hard to figure out what artists will be at SDCC, and most of the time there is no way to know ahead of time.

For the life of me I cannot determine....will Jim Starlin be at SDCC 2018??!!!
