Pangolin Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hello, I am from Canada myself and I would like to know if some other Canadian customers placed an order with CGC in the past weeks. If so, would you please send me a private message, I have a few questions about your recent experience. I am keeping this private for now while I discuss this with a few fellow citizens. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know how much Canadian customers were charged for the return shipping fees. If the order was placed in the past weeks. Please reply by a private message.

kimik Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I am Canadian, and the rate is the same as it has been for a while now via Fedex. Did you get dinged for GST? If yes, then you filled in the paperwork wrong when submitting the books. You need to mark them as "Comics for certified grading" on the Customs declaration and it should be fine.

It changed recently to 120 for Fedex to Canada from the 90 that has been charged forever. I think it has to do with a lot of the Covid surcharges that Fedex has been imposing on packages. xoxo greggy topofthetotem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why you need to send books in groups of 25 to distribute the shipping charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, CGC has been charging me extra after the fact over the last few months and this is the first time I've been charged upfront. Man, that $90 was a sweet price for such as long time.

It is not because of the GST. I was charged more for return shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was charged $90 instead of $60 (I sent less 10 comics in May). I wish I would have been notified about that when I filled the submission form. Of course, CGC has a right to change the price, but a client should be able to trust the amount written on the submission and on the website.

Red_Hood Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yes, It's been $120 for a long time now. The on-line form will still say $90 but get ready for some extra charges after the initial billing. My favorite extra charge was for $4,500 CDN for extra shipping fees not accessed on the initial charge. I then verified these extra charges by opening my own Fed Ex account to see if the shipping would be cheaper if I supplied the account # for return shipping, but it was not any cheaper.

You're saying it will go up to $120 for one book after COVID surcharges?? My god Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
