Please ensure when completing the Bulk Card Submission Form that you agree to all the terms written on the form.

 

1. Card Submission

1.1. This service is for the submission of cards with the purpose of selling these to PCB Hobby and is NOT to be used as a way to value your collection as prices offered will be based on our buy-in price and not the card's market value.

1.2. By submitting the bulk form and handing over your cards to PCB Hobby, you confirm that you believe the cards you are submitting to be genuine cards and do not include any fakes.

1.3. You confirm that you are aware the 2 methods of payment for any confirmed Bulk Submission are either via Cash or Store Credit, where Store Credit is typically based at 10% higher than the cash value. Once your submission has been completed, you will be contacted by a member of our team to inform you of the outcome.

a.) Please wait for us to contact you on the outcome of your submission we work through all bulk jobs as fast as we can and we are unable to move you up the queue of submissions and will process your bulk as quickly as possible.

1.5. Upmost care and diligence will be used when handling and storing your cards, we will not be liable for any damages claimed after handing over your cards, please ensure all specific damages/conditions are declared before submission as any returned cards with any damage will only be covered if it’s reported by staff. Which will be documented and reported accordingly, otherwise any claims will be void if not declared now.

1.6. If you do not respond to our attempts to contact you about your submission after 30 days from our first contact informing you that your submission has been reviewed and is ready, the submission will be deemed the property of Total Cards if no correspondence is received and no funds will be payable after this time.

1.7. Unfortunately, cards won’t be returned until the sorting fee has been paid. If after 30 days of non-payment of the Sorting Fee from the date the outcome was declined, we reserve the right to add additional storage fees to the total amount owed.

1.8. If after 60 days from the date of our first contact with you confirming the Bulk Submission Outcome and the cards have not been collected / Sorting Fee Paid, the cards will be deemed the property of PCB Hobby LLC.

1.9. If you would like any item back that was submitted to us with your bulk (storage boxes, folders, bags) please declare this to the staff member accepting your bulk as any items left with your cards are not kept after sorting is complete and will be either disposed of or recycled and retrieving them will not be possible once you have received your payment. We can't be held liable once you have completed your submission and accepted payment. Please only provide your cards to us in a cardboard box or something similar to avoid any issues with personal items.

2. Estimated Sorting Fee

2.1. We estimate the following costs which will be payable before any of your cards will be handed back over.

2.2. If you choose to not accept our submission offer, there will still be a Sorting Fee which will be payable upon collecting the cards back from PCB Hobby.

3.1. When we sort your cards we will evaluate the condition and market value and this will be totaled at the end of your submission and sent to you in an email.
