Amazing service, would give 5 stars if I knew where my money was? Was sent a message saying payouts sent but it’s not?

We reached out via email with information about this payment when it was processed indicating when the payment would arrive, and what to do if it did not arrive as expected. Based on this review, as well as your follow up email to us (which we responded to), it seems as though our communications may not be reaching you.
ACH payments processed on the weekend won't get put into the Federal ACH system until the next business day (Monday, absent a holiday), and thus then received the next day after.

Extremely impressive store and selling process, would give 5 stars if some of the more expensive cards were being bought for like half the price Sometimes

I found the process of putting the shipment together to be quite nice and easy. Processing and their assessment is fairly transparent and clear notification of current stage of your order is nice. Mainly my issue stems from a dissatisfaction of some of the valuations as some cards in my shipment had been graded harsher than expected. Some having been sold to me as NM through TCGplayer, never used or played but still only graded here as lightly played. Don’t have any current plans of using card conduit again going forward as I was left feeling like I have no way to gauge the quality of my cards before shipping now and cannot get cards returned once processed if I find that the cards didn’t get the valuation I had expected.

Over all satisfied, little sad how little I got for my metal worker but I gambled sending it and lost.

Just as other reviews mention, I think this is an awesome service with pretty selective criteria for card grades (NM/LP/etc). Expect around -0.5 of a grade of whatever you think the card is (i.e. if it's a lightly played on tcgplayer it's probably a moderately played here).

I sold a couple hundred old cards via the Sorted service, using the price check tool to classify my collection into the cards that qualified vs. the cards that still made sense to sell via a separate Standard shipment vs. those not worth selling or keeping.
The process was easy; processing was reasonably prompt and payment was quick and painless once everything was graded. I appreciated the corrections made to my own classifications of ambiguous cards, EG "light" vs standard variations for some cards, and the updates as the shipment went through each step.
In general, I thought the service offered fair value for the cards. I am not an experienced judge of card condition, but I did find the condition grading to be strict. Other sources differ in their definitions of eg "heavily played" vs "damaged", and the grades given lined up more with the strictest of those definitions. I don't think the grades were unfair, especially after I compared multiple other sites' descriptions, but I would have appreciated descriptions and even examples of the standards Card Conduit uses. As it was I had my initial expectations somewhat inflated by the more optimistic of those other sites' descriptions.

Process was straight forward. I sent a bulk shipment of roughly 6000 cards, most of which were common/uncommon/basic lands. I would recommend this service, payout was not as much as I expected due to the nature of my shipment, although the company was kind enough to wave a large majority of fees because of this which is greatly appreciated as a first time user. Overall was pleased with the experience, made some space in my closet and a little extra cash. Thank you Card Conduit.

I was really impressed with how quickly the process went. When I had questions they were answered in a timely manner. Payout was fair and quick. Overall a really good experience.

The whole process was quite easy and when my order was a little delayed I was notified immediately. I've been trying to move that collection for some time and this was the fastest way to do it for sure.

I liked that it there was a straightforward method to get my cards sold, but doing shipping myself was counterintuitive. Money got from cards was also a bit low for my standards

The process was very easy and straightforward. The notifications of each step was nice to see during the process. A little disappointed about the grading of the cards, as I believe most of them sent back were NM-LP. Grading seems stricter. Pictures or evidence of grading may be a helpful note in the future if things are marked as MP.

Still a great service to get some value for cards that would otherwise be more difficult to move. However grading can be very strict.

Be aware that older cards, anything 1993 to around 2010, will have a tendency to lean towards light play even if they are near mint. This particular shipment also had a near mint high value foil get graded as light play which was a $10 loss in value

Customer service and easy of use were 5 stars. Wish I got a little bit more value but it is what it is.

Great customer service, there was an issue with payment and someone was very quick to notify me and correct the issue. Some of my cards were graded lower than expected but overall this was a quick and easy service that I would use again and recommend to others.

Sent in a beta forcefield and unlimited bayou, I thought the condition was actually not terrible but they wrote it off as damaged, overall everything is great, super happy, just a little upset on a few grades

This was my first time with Card Conduit. The process was simple, and there was confirmation the whole time. Would really only recommend if you have a lot of value cards you're looking to get rid of. This isn't really the best platform for what is considered "bulk" cards. Really enjoyed my first experience. Will be using more wisely in the future for sure.

Process was very straight forward! Ordering the cards precisely took a little time, but otherwise very smooth/simple. I got dinged a bit on condition, but it was honestly pretty fair (collection was quite old, and heavily played back in the day).

I opted to sort and organize the cards myself to cut down on fees and I really appreciated having that option. Overall the experience was relatively fast and very convenient, which were my priorities as I'm exiting the hobby. I would say it took about a week from postage to payout, and I really appreciated the peace of mind from the constant communication at each stage of the process. I feel good about the service and have told friends about it, but I'd be remiss if I didn't advise people to temper their expectations. In my experience, players and collectors alike tend to overvalue the condition of their card, but Card Conduit grades cards way more stringently than any physical or online retailer I've ever interacted with. I'm not making a value judgement there, but I think it's important to note for anyone using the service.
