Vault & Shipping
Every card that goes to you is stored automatically in your ETC Vault — in the same condition it left the box — until you're ready to ship. Ship on your schedule, bundle as many cards as you like into one shipment, and pick one of three flat-rate tiers at checkout.
The Vault
Cards wait safely in your Vault for up to four months, so you can collect multiple wins into a single shipment instead of paying to ship each card alone. Ship-outs are always member-initiated — start one any time from the My Vault tab in your Team Member Portal, confirm your address and tier in a standard checkout, and every card ships in the exact condition it was pulled on stream.

The insurance add-on (Elevated only)
When an Elevated shipment's total value — the sum of each card's sold-for price — exceeds $100, an optional insurance add-on becomes available at checkout. Select it, and your full order value is insured from the first dollar: the charge is your order total divided by 100, added to the $12 base. It surfaces exactly when the included $100 coverage stops being enough.
Total Transparency: This three-tier structure, including the insurance add-on, is a new shipping policy — it goes live for members soon. Until then, the tiers shown at checkout are the ones in effect.
Base-card set lots ship penny-sleeved and secured between chipboard slabs; whether a lot is above or below 40 cards automatically determines Enhanced or Elevated shipping. Shipments above 40 cards always ship Elevated.
