COMC Mailboxes - an awesome alternative to high shipping to Canada

[mingus_md]

Just got my first two cards delivered and processed through COMC mailbox. Cards were delivery and processed really quickly, and I saved about $10 in shipping charges.

Can you trade at comc? Or transfer cards for free? (between comc members)

Not that I'm aware of. No actual "trade" feature..... but if you and another member agreed to make a trade, you could easily buy his card for $1, and sell him yours for $1. Something like that?

As an european I could get a lot more trades done if I could transfer the cards there.
But alot to save on ebay!

In a way you can. Just put the cards you want to trade for equal value. The buy/sell thing ends being a trade anyway as I sell and buy other cards I like.

Just thought I would bump this up. Created a mailbox and so far it is working great! Thanks for the info about it.

For people in Canada, how long do you find it takes for the cards to arrive from the time you request shipment? I am contemplating on requesting shipment but only want them right now if they arrive in time for the expo.

The shipping is really slow, always a month for me, I'm in Quebec

Not quite a month, but several weeks. I would bet you don't get it in time for the Expo if you hit "send" right now.

Yeah, Paypal seems to be a lot more difficult to add a US address to directly - I found that when checking out an item on ebay, you can just choose what address to ship to at that point and add the new address. After a little while, the address seems to get automatically transferred over to Paypal without having to do anything (hope that will continue to work as ebay is spinning paypal off and won't own them directly in the future). I'm not sure exactly how long it takes to transfer over to paypal - since I do most of my shopping on ebay, I didn't log in frequently to paypal to check, I did notice it had been auto-transferred a couple of weeks later, but maybe it happened faster, wish I'd been actively monitoring my account to see how long it took.
