A tale of 2 sellers

I have never paid more than $4 for shipping on COMC. Did something change?

He's buying through eBay. They add an extra quarter per card for "expedited" shipping, which is required through eBay and Amazon, and now on the COMC's site if you're not logged in.
Here's a primer to COMC I wrote on another board. The first post on page 2 shows their newest changes that are starting right about now.

I've only ordered single cards from COMC but I've had no issue with packaging, it's always solid.

My problem was not the price I paid per card, my local card shops charge about the same when they do have Heritage commons. My problem was the crappy packaging they charged $11 for. I could have returned $4 worth of cards but whats the point?

One company gave me free shipping and great packaging and the second company charged $11 and gave me crappy packaging. I'm done with COMC, fool me once.

I do not buy my Heritage cards through COMC....or Burbank, but I do use COMC when looking for variants because they have back scans and often offer separate listings for known variants. Plus they have always sent the actual card in the scan I ordered. Have had some issues with Burbank on that score. My COMC purchases have always been well packaged. But obviously the OP has had a different and disappointing experience with them.
