Shipping & Delivery Policy

We know that every card in our shop is an investment in your personal collection. Our packaging is treated as an extension of the card itself. We don’t use flimsy white envelopes, household tape, or recycled paper scraps…we use premium packaging and protection.

Every single shipment—from a sub-$20 vintage common to a high-value graded slab—is packed using commercial-grade, hobby-specific materials designed to withstand the postal system and arrive at your door in the exact condition pictured.

Transparent Flat-Rate Shipping

We offer clear, flat-rate shipping tiers based on your total order value so there are never any surprises at checkout:

How We Pack Your Cards

We use professional-grade supplies for every layer of protection:

1. Raw Vintage & Modern Singles

  • Primary Shell: Standard raw cards are placed inside a fresh penny sleeve and a clean, rigid toploader. Oversized or wide-margin vintage cards are safely encased in a semi-rigid Card Saver to prevent edge or corner pressure.
  • Residue-Free Seal: Holders are secured with damage-free blue painter’s tape (no sticky adhesive on your holders) and enclosed in a fitted team bag.
  • Armor Protection:
    • Orders under $20 ($2.99 Rate): Shipped flat inside an ultra-sturdy Hobby Armor rigid shipping envelope.
    • Orders $20+ ($6.99 Rate): Sandwich-protected between rigid Hobby Armor cardboard shields inside a padded bubble mailer or shipping box.

2. Graded Slabs (PSA / SGC)

  • Scratch Prevention: Every slab is sleeved in a fitted slab bag to prevent surface scuffing during transit.
  • Impact Armor: Slabs are wrapped in bubble wrap, sandwiched between Hobby Armor shields, and shipped in padded mailers or sturdy 6x4x2 shipping boxes with internal fill to eliminate movement.

Combined Shipping Policy

At Troha Cards & Collectibles, we automatically combine shipping on multiple items to keep delivery costs as affordable as possible while ensuring maximum protection for your order.

How Combined Shipping Works

  • Single Flat Rate Per Order: You pay only one flat shipping fee per order, regardless of how many individual cards or items you purchase in a single checkout.
  • Automatic Rate Calculation: When you add items with different shipping classes to your cart (such as raw cards, graded slabs, or sealed wax), checkout automatically charges only the single highest shipping rate in your cart. You will never pay stacked or cumulative shipping fees for items purchased together.
  • $250+ Orders Ship Free: Any order with a subtotal of $250.00 or more automatically qualifies for FREE Standard Shipping, regardless of the size or weight of the items in your cart.

Important Note for Separate Checkouts

Combined shipping applies automatically when items are purchased together in a single transaction. If you place multiple separate orders before your items have shipped, please contact us immediately with your order numbers, and we will do our best to consolidate your package and adjust shipping where applicable.

Order Fulfillment & Tracking

  • Dispatch Schedule: Orders are carefully packed and shipped within 1 to 2 business days (Monday through Friday).
  • Automated Tracking: As soon as your shipping label is printed, an automated confirmation email containing your USPS tracking number will be sent directly to your inbox.
