CGC Terms and Conditions
Economic Comics are authorised to submit books to CGC on your behalf - please consider the following before submitting your books to us:
1.
Waiting times can be reduced by using either the Fast Track or Express service.
2.
We will take full responsibility for your comics once we receive them. However, it is your responsibility to post them to us using a safe method, and insure them to their full value (please keep your postal receipt until we confirm safe arrival of the comics).
3.
Full payment must be made prior to sending or handing over the comics to us, and no refunds will be made if you change your mind or the comic does not receive the grade you hoped for.
4.
Our price includes insured post and packing to CGC in America, having them sent back to us by CGC and finally the return of the comics back to you.
5. A 5% discount applies to active subscribers of Economic Comics. An "active subscriber" is a person who has a Subscription with Economic Comics, and reliably pays for their Pull Lists on at least a monthly basis.
Please note that CGC-published estimates of turn-around can be unrealistic - see above for more accurate times.
