Four years ago, I pulled this redemption card for a Michael Conforto autograph out of a box of 2014 Panini Prizm Draft Picks. I immediately submitted my code and haven't heard a thing from Panini ever since. This morning I checked their website to see if there was any update to my redemption status and there is no sign of my redemption.
I've emailed customer service with a copy of the original ticket number. Hopefully they will reply with an update. We'll see.
Three months ago, I made my final COMC purchase, drained my account funds, placed a shipment request, and was told today would be the day they'd ship my inventory. We'll see.
Tomorrow is Election Day. I have no idea when all of the votes will be tallied and who will win the election, but the results will either bring me tears of joy or major anxiety. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Happy Monday and sayonara!
i have a redemption in with panini - it's only been active since february of this year - but it has been crickets.
ReplyDeletemy last order with comc was supposed to ship on 9/30 but it still has not left redmond. they have been updating their blog weekly, and it looks like they are currently working on fulfilling economy orders that were supposed to ship between 9/21 and 10/4. i won a comc auction on ebay and received my card in a few days. i won't be ordering from them again.
i am anxious about tomorrow, too. hoping for the best.
I will be up all night Election night working and since part of the job is monitoring the news, this will be all we'll be watching. It probably won't be resolved tomorrow night but I'm praying for some sanity.
ReplyDeleteI know COMC has its problems...slow service, taking forever to ship, taking longer to scan and list, but overall its a good way to get rid of cards I don't want. Curious why you are leaving?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with COMC. I need to make a shipment request but I'm in no rush. Hopefully they get their shit together soon though since it feels like a lot of people are starting to bail.
ReplyDeleteI hope all 3 things come through for you. Particularly the third one!!
ReplyDeleteOh man. Good luck with COMC! I lost faith in them a couple of years back. I'd rather not have the card(s) than deal with them!
ReplyDeleteAnd, as well, best wishes with the redemption.
good luck with the redemption.
ReplyDeleteI put in a shipment request for my COMC cart last week...and the estimated ship date is in mid-February. I understand things are screwed up right now but that's still an insane turnaround time. Hope your redemption/COMC order get to you sooner than later!
ReplyDeleteRedemptions are a terrible idea. The greed of the industry unfortunately. Tomorrow will be an interesting day for sure.
ReplyDeleteI hope your redemption is fulfilled. COMC is a huge disappointment, I'm also waiting on an order (two, actually) and from what I've seen on their blog it looks like they're a month behind the expect shipping date they've been giving their customers. Very frustrating.
ReplyDeleteAs for the election, I'm more nervous about the reaction than the result-but I've got a bad case of 2016 PTSD. Fingers crossed for a (relatively) normal Election Day/Night.
Hahaha. Same here.
DeleteUgh, Panini is soooo slow fulfilling redemptions. I wish they'd stop making new products until they catch up with their existing debts to collectors.
ReplyDeletegcrl - finally heard from both comc and panini yesterday. guess better late than never. no real update from panini. the comc guy told me he'd contact the shipping department and try to get my order rushed.
ReplyDeletejafronius - i've avoided the news and just been checking the web every few hours for updates. with work being so crazy, it's been a nice distraction
jared - i'm a bargain shopper and i've found less and less deals the past year or so, plus with the tax on credit thing it's even hard. i'm not sure if it'll be permanent. i'm not bashing comc. overall it's an excellent platform to purchase cards. without that site, my team and player collections would definitely be smaller
nick vossbrink - thanks. heard back from them, but still no shipping confirmation
jongudmund - thanks. i think work has helped me take my mind off of the election, but it has been a little depressing hearing some of the stuff going on
peter k steinberg - lol. wow. a couple of years ago, i was buying cards on a weekly basis over there. thanks. i'll keep you guys posted
johnnys trading spot - thanks. heard from them, but no real news other than my redemption is still active
nick - wow. the delay is up to 4 months now? hope they're able to hire some people to process these shipping orders
sumomenkoman - it's so interesting, they've decided to make it a week long celebration ;D
chris - yeah... that stresses me out too. once the election is in the past, whoever wins needs to focus on mending the divide and healing our country. we're so torn
grant - that's a great idea. lol. doubt it'll happen, but a great idea.
I am waiting on three panini redemptions and it feels like an eternity
ReplyDeletesport card collectors - good luck. outside of first contact (where they told me the redemption is still in their computers), they haven't responded to my question about whether or not conforto will ever sign or if they could offer a replacement.
