PSA opening a Canadian Submission center September 14th

The only issue is you have to actually deal with Kevin Douglas. He has some of the worst customer service I’ve encountered. Takes weeks to reply to simple inquiries about your cards, is always making unprofessional excuses for his tardiness, and is kind of full of himself.

I used him as a middleman last year and while he did deliver exactly what he said he would do (sent cards for grading, returned them), the whole experience was needlessly stressful.

I guess that is a fair criticism. I have had a handful of delays working with him as well but im local and typically get a reply within a few days and pick up without any shipping.

Did anyone end up trying PSA Canada yet?

At this weekends Toronto sports card expo, all drop-off submissions were routed through PSA Canada. Not what I would have preferred but I’ll get first hand experience of the service.

I still don’t see the value proposition

They have they’ve learned that if it all goes tits up it’s not a biggie for them just the people who used them

I think i will just continue to not submit cards and if i decide to, do it directly. Ideally there would be an actual grading facility in Canada (and in a perfect world, Toronto :grin:), but until that magical scenario occurs, direct submission is the best imo

Agreed. I went there under the impression I was submitting to the American side and they would bring the cards back to the grading facility. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case. I guess this was an opportunity for them to start pushing the PSA Canada brand. I’ll report back with final costs of the service when I get my cards back.

I had my submission forms filled out on the psa website and they accepted my submission for psa thru the same psa canada drop off. Just had to tell them i wanted it kept on my own account. Went smoothly so should be no issues and then ship back directly from psa when its done.

That’s interesting. I also had all the forms from the PSA website but was told the complete opposite. I asked if the submissions would be reflected on the psacard website and after checking with someone working behind them they said no.

Weird i Dropped off sunday maybe by then things were worked out?

Brad the head guy at psa canada took my submission and assured me it was no issue to keep on my own account. Now just waiting to see how long until it pops in on psa tracker

I’ve since emailed and Brad answered, confirming that. I dropped off on Saturday. I think the employee I was dealing with was just confused about the specifics. Your submission should be in safe hands if Brad accepted it.

If you don’t mind, let me know if you see any update with your order. Thanks

Sure no problem. Its taken so long to show up on my account that i feel id have been better off just mailing them to psa to drop off directly.

I reached out a few days ago and got this back on Tuesday. No updates or anything showing on my account yet tho

"Hi Steve

The last of the shipments arrived in Santa Ana today you will see them very soon

Thank you "

Thanks for the update. I agree with you there, feels like the completed submission on the website will expire before anything shows up lol

This is a middle man service. I just ship straight to PSA from Canada with no issues. Canada post does not offer more than $1000 worth of insurance. Risk is necessary if you wanna make plays as a Canadian. Using a middle man increases risk (in my opinion).

All that being said, Kevin Douglas and this service has many happy customers and positive reviews, if that’s the route you wish to take.

New drop off point announced for Toronto on October 20th!

For years, Canadian collectors have navigated the hurdles of international shipping, duties, and longer wait times to submit their cherished collectibles to PSA. That changes on October 20, when PSA Canada officially goes live with a dedicated web experience and a new receiving centre in the Greater Toronto Area. This marks a major milestone in PSA’s international expansion.

The new Canada-based infrastructure eliminates one of the biggest pain points for collectors: international costs. Submissions through PSA Canada are now duty free, with no additional tariffs or international shipping charges. Collectors can send items directly by mail or deliver them in person at the all-new Mississauga Receiving Centre, streamlining the process from start to finish.

As part of this continued investment in the Canadian market, PSA will once again be at the Toronto Sport Card & Memorabilia Expo this year (November 6–9), offering on-site grading services. The Expo has long been a cornerstone for Canadian collectors, and PSA’s presence underscores our commitment to making trusted authentication and grading more accessible than ever.

By expanding into new markets and removing barriers to submission, PSA reinforces its commitment to helping collectors everywhere protect, secure, and authenticate their most treasured items. To further support its growth, PSA Canada has also expanded its team across operations, logistics, marketing, and customer service.

Stay tuned for the all-new web experience, and follow @PSAcardCanada on Instagram to keep up with the latest news, updates, and a wide array of just-graded collectibles from Canadian collectors.
