At this point, my frustrations have dissolved after my order finally arrived. I have 3 junk cards in my portfolio that came to about $6-7. I am just going to forget about those for now. Maybe some day, I get them. Maybe I don't. It was basically COMCs money that made the purchase, so I can live without them. if they had worked with me to send those 3 cards with my delayed shipment, it would have make up for a lot of anger I had towards them and their poor handling of my order.
I feel very bad for everyone else experiencing the same thing I did. I also feel bad for most of the sellers who may feel the affects of this in their individual sales. At least a couple sellers there I could care less about and hope they are feeling the pain as well! I think the backlog started before Thanksgiving, but I'm sure that time is when it started to exponentially grow into what we see now. I hope everyone is made whole eventually.
That said, I am now enjoying the bad press they are getting. I'd like to see more! We shouldn't revel in others' misfortunes, but when you helped caused it or did nothing to stop it, that is another story. There were factors that were outside of their control, but my opinion is that poor management of the situation and poor decision making lead to where we are now, not a pandemic or USPS woes. They are continuing to make poor decisions it seems, as they fart around with making excuses instead of taking action and making it right. I hope the info they are pumping out is all true and that they will right the ship eventually. After that, I think some serious retribution is in order. I am sure with the boom and some people's go with the flow attitude, they can afford it.
I am glad that all of these factors going on in hobby have lead to an unprecedented slowdown for me personally. If not, I would certainly be missing the convenience and shipping cost savings that once made COMC a great choice for cheap card purchases. I still sometimes start to head to the site when a new scrub debuts with the Dodgers if I need their autograph, then remind myself that there is not a chance in hell that I am spending one additional PENNY with this company unless I see proof that things have turned around and are back to an acceptable "normal". In the meantime, I make a sacrifice to my collecting interest in the name of making sure I do my part to see that this company is turning it around or failing all together otherwise.
