LAST UPDATED September 16, 2020

This page is monitored and updated to provide real-time information regarding the status of our services affected by our precautions taken in accordance with the WHO, CDC, and WA State guidance, as well as potential staffing limitations due to the global pandemic, COVID-19.

On May 29, 2020 Governor Jay Inslee announced a “Safe Start” plan in Washington State to follow a 4-phase reopening plan. We are currently in Phase 2 and are ramping up COMC operations while maintaining compliance with the state mandate. We will resume full processing and shipping as soon as permitted by the 4-phase reopening plan.

Expect delays and refer to this page for status updates and changes. All digital purchases and sales through the COMC Marketplace and in your COMC account will continue as normal.

We will keep you updated on our Processing and Shipping backlog progress by letting you know the oldest due date we are working on in a given week. All non-guaranteed services will be worked on from oldest to newest.

Lead times will begin when packages are opened – expect delays of up to 3 weeks, particularly Mailbox submissions.



We are currently working on the following due dates:

Economy Shipping: 08/26 – 09/01

Basic (retired): 05/15 – 6/01

Current Year 3 Week: 07/07 – 8/14

12 Week: 06/08 – 06/30

Canada Economy: Orders placed thru 08/09 will ship by September 18th.

Canada Rushed: Orders placed thru 08/18 will ship by October 9th.

International Economy (non-Canadian orders): Currently working on orders due 08/31 – 09/03 Note some countries do not currently have mail service so some packages may need to be held longer. Please review the list of countries not currently accepting international mail on the USPS International Service Alerts page.

Please note we are working as quickly as possible in both Processing and Shipping to complete all past due items. Our Customer Service Team is unable to process any expedite requests for items with due dates on or after the dates listed above.

The following service levels are currently affected:

Processing Services

To better support the processing of previously submitted items and reduce any additional delays, we have suspended our 12 Week Service effective 5/12. We feel the gravity of suspending this service and look forward to bringing back a more affordable processing option for you, once we’ve made significant progress on our processing backlog.

Lead times will begin when packages are opened – expect delays of up to 3 weeks, particularly Mailbox submissions. We are prioritizing opening packages containing Elite, Auction, and 1 Week submissions.

IMPORTANT: in order for us to prioritize these time-sensitive submissions, you will need to upload your shipment tracking number for your submission here: https://www.comc.com/Manage/Submissions.

Any submissions with a due date of March 14th or later will not receive a discount for missed due dates except the following:

3 Week

Elite Services

Vintage and Obscure Services

Comic Book Services

Any services other than those listed above do not have guaranteed due dates and will not receive discounts for any delays in processing.

Shipping Services

Effective April 1, 2020 the Shipping Bonus Credit has been temporarily suspended.

The wonderful differentiator with COMC is you can buy now and ship later. We want to encourage our customers to take advantage of that and please ship later. Customers should expect slower shipment times on all services and we are not guaranteeing ship dates.

Customer Service

We are suspending support for in-person customer drop-offs/pick-ups.

We are suspending phone support. Please contact us via email at staff@comc.com. Please expect delays in response time.
