This is not a knock on their service or even cgc's service. This is just a comment to let you know you are not alone. It's the nature if the beast in our collecting. We all just have to hurry up and wait.

This is very true. I am a new customer too, so currently trying to calibrate my expectations. The important part is to keep feeding the pipeline, however you can, so that once books start rolling in, they will keep coming. If you mail in some comics right now, you will likely get them in mid-November.

For me the real pain is, I have books ready to go, but I have to wait for the new label. I don't have any idea where they are in that process, burning through their supply of the 'bad' label. So I can't feed the pipeline.

What's even worse are the ones I want to send to CFPcomics first, for pressing and cleaning. That adds another two months at least. But you can't send to CFPcomics (as I understand it) without first getting the CBCS invoice done. Which I can't do while waiting for the label fix.

So my next batch of books, I won't see again until mid-January. IF I submit now...

I'll be waiting for a label update until I submit another batch as well.

@Tedsaid You could always just send to CFP and have them sent back to you.

I am glad people will be waiting to submit or putting their current orders on hold till new label. Hopefully that will bump my orders up to the grading room soon.

I've used this tier once and everything went smoothly. The books hit grading same day they were received and and hit shipping the next day. My only problem was they forgot to apply my ecoupons, which Customer Service promptly fixed.

I'm also not submitting anything new until there is a label change, at least not anything that I'm keeping for myself.

@DarthLego, I do have one advantage, I live in Jacksonville Florida which is three hours away from Saint Pete, home of their offices. So my son and his girlfriend are going to make a day trip this Thursday and turn them in. That way they'll be inducted the same day they are dropped off and two days later should be done.

Make sure they call ahead of time to arrange an appointment. It's my understanding that they discourage dropins. They like to make sure that they have someone available to help you.

Keep in mind the excuse that its also convention season, lol, which runs from March until December, so Friday, Saturday, and Sunday don't factor as business days. I'm guessing that they're gonna say they were received August 29th and probably be shipped back to you the first or second week of September. Just a guess of course.


PM me your invoice numbers so I can look into this.
I don't see any open orders on your account.

I have books in the 2-day modern tier that went into received status on 7/18 and they still haven't moved to grading. My guess would be a lot longer than a sept turnaround for books submitted in aug.


You marked your to be shipped together. All tiers are graded when the slowest tier gets graded. In this case, all of your books will get graded when your Modern's get to the grading room.
