Shipping and Delivery
Shipping dropping off and picking up your cards
3 different ways to ship and get back your cards:
Shipment by the means of your choice
You can ship your cards by any carrier in a simple stamped envelope or parcel. You can also use the carrier of your choice. Tracked or registered mail with insurance is recommended for large orders or orders containing high-value cards. We advise you to ship your cards in a bubble envelope, or in a parcel for orders of more than 20 cards, well protected in a sleeve and top loader (adding a little “post it tab” is also always nice for the team!). Be careful not to put tape on the top loaders or in the immediate vicinity of the cards, as the glue left behind could damage them…
Don’t hesitate to consult our Mailing Guide to find out how to protect and pack your cards!
The delivery address is :

Postage-paid label dispatch
You can purchase your shipping label directly when you place your order: simply select the “shipping label to MTG Grade” option, the cost is 14.90Eur for all shipments from Europe to France.
Once you’ve placed your order, MTG Grade will send you by e-mail a postage-paid label (from a few minutes to a maximum of 2 hours on working days), which you simply print and stick on your parcel to ship at the post office, without having to queue.
The label is an International shipping label, and you can add optional insurance.

You can drop off your cards by appointment at the time of or after purchase, free of charge.

Get back your cards
Once the cards have been graded, MTG Grade ships them back by the shipping method chosen when the order was placed (tracked, registered, pickup point or hand-delivered).
Order processing time is 1 to 2 weeks maximum for the “standard” service, and 1 to 3 days maximum for the Express service, from the moment the cards are picked up by us. We also offer “Express Same Day” same-day grading, exclusively in-house at our Lille Headquarters.
Graded cards will be sent back carefully protected to avoid any risk of problems during transport.
If you have hand-delivered your cards, they can also be collected back once graded by hand or by post.
