And COMC wonders why I never made a purchase after joining their site years ago?! That was long before the pandemic and their constant issues. Seems like they ship pretty quick when ordered directly from them now, but the ebay purchases have been lagging for quite a long time. I think they overstretched themselves by getting an ebay site and they still have no idea how to deal with the overflow. I want to say that I am surprised that ebay has yet to punish them for their lack of competence, but I can't b/c ebay is just as incompetent.

Haha!  I wonder if someone at COMC watches this site.  My cards shipped yesterday.  Things that make you go hmmm.....

I just placed an order last week with the cheapest shipping option. Estimated shipping date was July 16! 

Yesterday their website had a banner explaining that orders were way up, they'd hired more help but shipping still waaaaay behind.

Today, the banner touts their new endeavor -- replacing those toploaders they're running out of:

Toploader Buyback

Cool concept. I noticed that they of course have some limitations on "condition". I have tons of toploaders with tape residue and marker markings that I haven't gotten around to cleaning. Most of my problem in that area is not being consistant on where I store the "to be cleaned" materials. In most cases tape residue can be removed with a little "elbow grease" and "Goo Gone" or "Goof Off". They also remove the magic marker markings, but the dry erease trick I think is a better solution for ink markings than the goo stuff.

I'm in Canada and if I ordered today at the cheapest option, the estimated delivery is August, which is ridiculous 

I wonder if I sold them some top loaders if I could get away with an estimated shipping time of 3 months. 

On second thought I will keep my tip loaders and they can bugger off!

All my orders before COVID was less the 14 days from request to deliveried.   My last order was on 1/6/2020 and ship date was 4/8/2020. So I little over a week before I see if they are on time.  Should never take that long.  IMO

  Another crisis at COMC, how could they possibly see it coming? Haven't kept up with shipping since at least September 2020, and yet they do not hire new employees until mid-March 2021. Now, toploader shortage, COMC didn't see that coming either, maybe they could have bought from some BCW Supplies (like I did) before toploaders got back-ordered to infinity, or why don't they buy them from Ebay (they still sell them), I do want toploaders recycled, I just wish the knuckleheads would stop putting non-removable tape on them:

Comc isn't going to pay more then 10 cents a toploader. So using Ebay is out of the question for them.
