Tangentially related, do we have any idea what the TAT for reholders is right now?

@Drahcir I'm not sure about that but would guess 2-3 weeks max.

@Venomade Yes.

@teacha777 That I don't know. Ricketts would be able to answer that.

And with all due respect... we're making an effort to improve the quality of service every day. We don't post updates or give target dates on when things are going to take effect because with everything that's on our plate right now we can't guarantee specific dates. TAT has improved by about 4 weeks since February and we're working diligently to improve it even further.

The point of my previous post is that there's a small group of people doing a whole lot of work to offer better service all around. Keep that in mind the next time you want to post "#soon". These are people that have been dedicating 10, 12 or more hours a day to get books into the system and back out the door. Most, if not all of them, are putting in a hell of a lot of effort to make that happen.

Like I said, we're not perfect and aren't ever going to be. There's always going to be room for improvement and CBCS as a whole is making an effort to do better for all of you. Some things take time and all we're asking for is a little patience.


Will you be moving with the company to Dallas? How is that going to work? Will grading be on hold during the move?

It feels like my order received January 29th has been in "Grading" for over a month now :/

@KingNampa No, I work remotely and won't be moving to Dallas. There's a plan in place to make the transition as smooth as possible. There shouldn't be much, if any, impact on TAT.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user
In February I mailed 1,293 books to CBCS for grading.

Including more than 200 books arriving today they have completed at least half of the order.

I am now up to my eyeballs in slabbed books that I need to list on ebay.

For the love of God, please stop bitching about turnaround times!

Bro - I’m still waiting on my submission back in Oct - press and grade. A bit long if you ask me.

@Stu

Pressing basically doubles your turn around time.

My understanding is that re-holders only take a week or two.

When were they received?
handed them in at Long Beach CC on 28 October - invoice displays 4 November and still in the received status. Noting the processed within 24 weeks statement to the left. 🤔. Must be the extra pressing time to ensure all are graded as 9.8.

When your order is “completed” but doesn’t ship before end of day Friday:



Oddly, it’s my order received February 13th that has completed (8 weeks) while my order received January 29th is still in grading (10 weeks), though that one did have a signature verification

I submitted 8 orders back on November 4th. 1 order in particular had 4 books, 2 of which were fast tracked pressing. The order still shows them as "Received" even though the 7 orders have already been graded and sent back to their owners. How is it 6 months later and there is still no update on the books?

w00t! My January order is Complete! If it ships out today I might have two consecutive days of CBCS deliveries!

EDIT: Book shipped! Again, strange that it was my order received March 12 that just shipped (1 ASP book; 5 weeks) but my order received January 29th (9 books regular, ASP, and 1 VSP;11 weeks) hasn’t shipped yet

Hopefully it won't say "completed" until then.

I called today and found out my books are waiting to be pressed - not sure what to think about this since I turned my books in back in late October. True six month mark will be 26 April - per CBCS.

I got it in both testicles today. First, my completed order didn’t ship out before the weekend


Then, FedEx let their delivery dates slip a day so the order I was supposed to get today will arrive tomorrow and the one tomorrow I’ll now get Monday. I really hate how their “on the vehicle for delivery” status just means that it’s on the truck, not that it’s out for delivery
