| Hi folks, I was hoping to take advantage of the March "SAVE10" special, but I haven't organized enough to get some books together to get them off in time. I was wondering if there is going to be an APRIL special of some sort? How often does CBCS do specials? |

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| They've been running something I think every month since October? Maybe earlier? Seems a fair bet they'll run something in April but hard to say what. Sometimes it's general grading, like now, sometimes it's vintage book specifically, sometimes it's fast pass, there's been the occasional pressing or signature verification or crossover (regrades of CGC or other companies). | ||

| @MurrayC - As long as the package your order is in is postmarked today or even tomorrow, you are eligible for the March promotion. | ||

| I'd hold off and prep your books....they've had similar deals in both December and January. I think they'll have a few more as long as convention season is on pause. | ||

| Just sent off ten books today (I now have 20 books at CBCS) I did the online submission last night through the Canadian page and was pleased to see there was a field for the discount. I got 10% off each $24 Cdn charge, so it was basically like paying full price for nine comics and getting the tenth grading free. |

| @Lord_Raiden - It probably has been touched, but the dashboard may not be reflecting that. My late Nov press submission updated to grading and labels just in the past couple of days. My late December Grade only submission went from received to grading and shipping in the matter of about two or three days a couple of weeks ago, so their stated TAT’s are pretty spot on. So I would guess you will see a lot of activity shortly if your submission doesn’t contain any press. |

| @no1lufcfan If you can't put the promo in the system, just write it on your invoice and we will adjust. AND...the promo is 10% of grading, not add ons. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator ok..... another question about how long ..... i got the email saying it was moving to grading (still says processing) then today i got an email saying they are ready to ship (it still says processing). any idea what's up with this? Is it like CGC where it doesn't actually list them till they are in the mail? |

| @Lord_Raiden - That happens sometimes. I suspect their top production priority is to grade as opposed to the data entry of where submissions are in the process. And yes, CBCS will not post grades until the submission shipped back. And on that point, on occasion, I have received the shipment before it has been posted to the dashboard. | ||

| @Lord_Raiden 'processing' isn't a status, it's just what your dashboard says after an order has been received. If you click on your order it will probably (but not definitely, because there are hiccups in the system) say something like 'received', 'billing', 'grading', etc. You'll probably get an even more accurate status if you open your invoice from the order page. There's a fairly thorough description of the process on the Newbie's thread https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/9896/page/1/cbcs-101-a-newbies-guide/ So now that you're at the 'ready to ship' status, @Scifinator is right that you won't be able to see the actual grades until the package has shipped and your order moves into 'completed'. I've personally never had the issue where my books are at my door before the grades are available on the website but others have had it happen. |

| Yikes!! Was about to include 2 Spidey 2099#1's in my April order but noticed one has Peter Davids signature! Completely forgot I had him sign it!!! Dang! Not sure I want to send both in now as I was going to sell the lower grade of the 2 and of course Signature Verification would add another few weeks to the whole order!! Blackhole of pressing is bad enough without adding more time!! |

| No patience!! Might swap out 2099#1 for ASM 317 x2..although then I have another problem..1 is Direct (9.8) and 1 is NewsStand (9.6) and I might be tempted to keep both when I really need to sell at least 1 or maybe both! Justice League 3 x2 (test logo) - that way I can keep 1 need to find my Firestorm test logo books - not worth grading even at 9.8? |
