Shipping Cards to CSG

How much does it cost to ship my certified cards from CSG back to me?

Domestic and international FedEx shipping fees are calculated according to the fee schedule here. Please note that additional charges may apply for extended or remote service areas, heavier packages, added items, return mint packaging, etc.

Can sports cards and trading cards be sent to CSG and CGC Trading Cards in the same shipment?

Submissions to CSG and CGC Trading Cards can be sent in the same shipping box as long as the submissions are packaged separately within the box and each submission is accompanied by a completed packing slip. CSG submissions must be accompanied by a completed CSG packing slip, and CGC Trading Cards submissions must be accompanied by a completed CGC Trading Cards packing slip.

CSG and CGC Trading Cards submissions cannot be returned to submitters in the same package, however, because the companies have separate grading processes and teams.

Please note that submissions of other collectibles, such as comics, coins and paper money, cannot be shipped together in the same package. In addition, shipping trading and sports cards together in the same package may result in a longer turnaround time.

Does CSG insure domestic (US) return shipments?

Shipments to US addresses are shipped by CSG via FedEx by default and insured up to $100,000 per package procured by CSG. See the Domestic FedEx Registered Mail Shipping / Insurance Fee Matrix.

If you have private insurance, or if you would like to ship with a carrier other than FedEx, please contact CSG Customer Service at [email protected] or 888-CSG-4723 before submitting so that we can place this information on file. We must have this information on file prior to receiving your submission.

In the rare event that a return shipment cannot be located, please contact NGC Customer Service at [email protected] or 888-CSG-4723. To make a claim, FedEx will require your tracking/PRO number and completion of the online claim form. Then follow the rest of the easy 5-step process.

Note: Additional charges may apply for extended or remote service areas, heavier packages, added items, etc. Please contact Customer Service if you are shipping collectibles valued over $100,000 per package to a US address.

Does CSG insure international return shipments?

Shipments to international addresses are shipped by CSG via FedEx by default and insured up to $50,000 per package procured by CSG. See the Domestic FedEx Registered Mail Shipping / Insurance Fee Matrix.
