In order to avoid saturation of the customer service and to ensure the best quality of service, non-essential requests will not be processed. Our FAQ answers many common questions.
Please select the reason for your contact :
Availability of service levels (Regular / Express)
If a service level is unavailable (Regular / Express), an information bubble will appear when you hover over that method. It explains why it is unavailable.
What are the return times?
In general, the last service level that has closed will become available again within 1 to 2 weeks after closing, which is the time it takes to return to a reasonable backlog.
However, we cannot give an exact timeframe as it depends on the number of orders received with the available modes between now and then.
Please note that service levels often close again rapidly (less than 24 hours after reopening) during periods of high demand.
The Regular mode only returns when the Express mode regains good availability.
As long as the Express mode is in high demand, the Economy mode remains unavailable.
We always post a story on social media to announce when the mode reopens. Follow us: @cccgrading!
Customer service does not respond to emails regarding the reopening dates of unavailable modes.
About shipments
You can find all shipping instructions in our shipping guide. Please also read the FAQ on the shipping guide page.
You are responsible for shipping your package to our premises.
Once your package has been shipped, here is the procedure to follow to track your package:
STEP 1 - Check your tracking information on your postal service website.
If the package is still in transit, we have not received it and cannot intervene. Please contact La Poste (if the delivery time seems unusual).
If your tracking information indicates "Your package could not be delivered to the recipient," this simply means that the package was dropped off later than our daily pickup time.If the package is marked as "awaiting pickup at a pickup point":
for less than one full business day: this is normal. The package was made available after our daily pickup and will be picked up at the next pickup.
For more than one full business day (for example: on hold since Monday - still awaiting pickup at the end of the day on Tuesday), please send your tracking number to support@cccgrading.com. It is possible that the package was made available to a private individual (instead of a business), we will check during the next pickup.
If the package is marked as delivered, please wait until 12 noon to receive your CCC receipt email.
STEP 2 - Once the package has been delivered, check your CCC account.
- If the status is "Processing," everything is in order. Your order has been received and an estimated processing completion date has been provided. You have also received an email notifying you that your order status has changed to "In processing." Check your spam folder if necessary.
- If the status is still "Paid" the day after delivery, check that you have not forgotten to include your summary.
- If the status is "Customer contacted" an anomaly has been reported to you by email and our support team is waiting for your response to resume processing. Check your emails (and your spam folder if necessary).
How is my order progressing?
You can view the status of your order in your account.
As soon as your order is received at our facility, you will see the estimated completion date.
The delivery time you selected when placing your order is in business days (excluding weekends and holidays) and refers to the processing time at our facility - that is, it does not include shipping.
In order to avoid overloading the customer service, no request whose subject is to know the status of an order that is NOT overdue will be processed. This information can be found in your account area.
For more information on order-related claims, please see the "Order" section of the FAQ.
Request to add a set to the lists
To find out how to contact us to add a set to the form, please consult the "Submission Center" section of the FAQ.
In most cases where the set is not found, either :
- It may be located in the lists under a different name (abbreviation for example).
- We do not certify cards of this set.
However, if the set cannot be found after a careful search, but the card seems important to you (e.g. high value), please send an email to soumission@cccgrading.com starting your subject with "Add set to the form" and include the details of your request. We will only process necessary requests.
For the most recently released sets, leave comments on our social networks to let us know about extensions that may have been forgotten. The request will be processed more quickly this way.
Can I consult my grades before I receive my order?
No, we do not communicate your grades in advance. You need to wait until you receive your package.
Indeed, we believe that receiving the cards at the same time as the GradeReport® and the sub-grades will enable you to have a better understanding in case of questions.
You can find this information in our FAQ here: FAQ
Any request concerning this subject will not be processed.
Inquiry about new TCGs / Sports Cards / Booster packs
At the moment, we only grade the TCGs that are available on the submission center.
We are already working on adding future TCGs, but no announcements or information can be given in advance. The announcements will be made on our social networks.
We do not respond to requests for new TCGs or questions related to the certification of TCGs not present in the submission center.
We do not grade Sports cards or booster packs for the moment. On the long term, we plan to open dedicated departments, an announcement will be made in due time, on our social networks.
I made a mistake during submission
Our verification processes are sufficient to correct your minor submission errors.
If you've used the quick-add function, it's normal for your summary to contain sets determined by default; this will be corrected automatically, so there's no need to notify us.
If, however, you have made a major error (incorrect quantity of cards / omission etc.), please contact us at soumission@cccgrading.com with the subject line "Submission Error - Order n°####".
I have a technical issue on the website
If you have any technical difficulties with your account, the submission center or payment, contact us directly at support@cccgrading.com
I would like to file a complaint (Order error)
The following issues are always accepted for claims, and solutions are always provided promptly:
- Error on a label
- Missing option (missing HD scan / missing GradeReport®, etc.)
- Error on a GradeReport® (missing paper GradeReport® / duplicate received by mistake, etc.)
- Damaged slab upon delivery (please contact us within 12 hours of receipt)

For these 5 issues, you can contact support@cccgrading.com directly, attaching photos and specifying your order number.
However, if your claim concerns the following issues, please refer to the instructions below:
- Delivery issue:
- Please refer to the appropriate section among the contact reasons listed above (“About packages”).
- Dirt / Dust inside a case:
- IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:
Our cases are not guaranteed to be completely free of micro-dust or micro-scratches: very slight imperfections may occur despite all the precautions taken. Our air-purification equipment removes major particles, but it is technically impossible to guarantee the absolute absence of particles in a case as transparent as the CCC case.
For this reason, only significant impurities—particularly those that are large (>2mm) or located in an area that significantly affects the visibility of the card—may warrant a return to customer service. If this appears to be the case for you, please contact support@cccgrading.com.
- IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ:
- If you don't understand your final grade:
- Please ensure you fully understand our grading system and how grades are calculated on this page:
CCC Grading System
Final grades are not an average of the 4 sub-grades.
Where possible, the sub-grades and the GradeReport®, if purchased, provide you with as much detail as possible.
- Please ensure you fully understand our grading system and how grades are calculated on this page:
- Complaint regarding a card’s condition / Grading Insurance:
- IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ - About our handling methods:
Our team follows ultra-strict, secure handling procedures that are continuously monitored by other team members. Cards are handled with gloves, without any contact with the edges or corners. When cards are set down, they are placed in secure areas on flat foam surfaces that are slightly raised for easy handling. Cards are lifted, never rubbed. Encapsulation is an extremely secure process thanks to the technical specifications of the CCC slabs; the safety equipment on our machines prevent any anomalies or unforeseen issues. - However, if you wish to file a claim and have purchased certification insurance, please send us the video inventory of your cards (taken while packing your package) to support@cccgrading.com.
Once we have received all these items, our team will be able to search our operational video surveillance archives. Please ensure that your video inventory complies with our Terms and Conditions of Sale - Article 11.
Please note that a photo is not an acceptable form of evidence for a claim. This is because photos do not rule out damage occurring after the photo was taken, a card swap, or inadequate lighting or viewing angle.
