Quote:Originally Posted by timberghost@timberghost - Speaking of March, I had a grade only submission that I shipped out at end of Dec, so CBCS received 1st week of Jan. They completed and it was picked up by MCS near the end of March. TAT's had already started creeping up at that time and right before I submitted in Dec, they had been pretty on top of things with the Dashboard. That is about the time Speculation and new pandemic wave started to re-impact them, then the Freeze... Then speculation submissions went absolutely crazy and with cgc TAT's being astronomical and then they raised their prices, CBCS has been getting absolutely slammed with new customers (or business partners @ebaymafia). Add to that people like me have also slammed them as I perhaps saw an end coming to the ***** Pandemic which reading between Steve Borocks comments of not raising prices in a pandemic, I rushed to submit another 1,200 comics between May and July. Bottom line, as bad as it is, it could be worse. Which, it actually is at cgc with 1/3 + longer TAT's and $#!+ show quality control. This is not me being a zealot (which I admittedly am), this is me being pragmatic. While I would like to have it all... 1) great product, 2) great quality, 3) great/fair pricing, 4) low Turn-Around-Time, 5) timely tracking of my valued possessions, 6) and a perfectly knowledgeable customer service team ready to respond at my beck and call... If circumstances dictate sacrifices, for me, well I just laid out my priorities. The last three I can live without unless someone provides or does a better job at the 1st three (which nobody does at this time). Mess with the 3rd, now I am soul searching. Screw with the first two, I am gone. We just have to be patient and trust that the CBCS makes good which they have so far for me. If we can't then grading and/or pressing is not for us. Scifinator diatribe manifesto out. PS: Hopefully I did not offend anyone. This honestly started as a post to provide insight as to TAT increases for 2021 calendar year. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator @Scifinator I think you summarize my own position pretty nicely with that layout. I think the order of your priority list is absolutely right. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator agree totally, you left out that the other guys, were and are really screwing people over, some not even getting their books but someone elses and grades just way off, like they hired a wine-o off the streets to grade. I understand where CBCS is and I feel for them( like all the way to the bank (lol), I'm sure they know we really appreciate them standing as strong as they can here at CBCS in the face of all that. It's hard not to worry or wonder about your 1 holy grail though after you been screwed by CGC.(can I say that name here???) I don't understand how people over on that forum can still try to defend them, but they are, and throw rocks at CBCS who I don't understand how they can claim CGC graded comics are worth more than CBCS, there is just no way from what I've seen. But none the less, the day will come when I will be dancing at the mail box. In fact I'm getting another big order for CBCS together now so hopefully things will be less painful. Peace. |

@dielinfinite - Nice, thanks for updates. So as TAT starts 1-3 days after receipt, then your TAT was 15-17 weeks depending on when in early April they received. |

| @Scifinator I got the received email on April 8th but now that I think about it, I I think it took a week and a half or so to be received | ||

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| I broke down and sent Darryl an email to inquire. He was incredibly gracious, as I'm sure he gets those types of emails a lot. Mine should be shipping out within the next week or so. Would put my TAT at 21-22wk. |

Quote:Originally Posted by monjoody My submission was March 17th, dashboard still shows "processing". No updates for over 12 weeks. Last reply I received from Darryl was 3 or 4 weeks ago saying the books were in encapsulation. So we are at week 19. Has anyone gotten verifiable update from CBCS on where books are and how they are progressing with new hires to address this stagnant backlog? I sure hope they are able to hire some qualified people soon. We definitely need someone or someone's (plural) to keep everyone's dashboard current and be able to provide exact status reports for everyone to know what is going on........ |

| Personally, I’m done sending in any new orders until I see some movement in some of the six orders currently at CBCS. The last two was delivered first week in June and it still has charged. I submitted two orders in GSCF with two books to be reholdered to CBCS ERROR and one regular order. To this day the two books do not show up on my dashboard. Submitted two questions to CUSTSRVE which one was the two books and other was about an order. They answered one question and did not bother to answer the question. I simply don’t understand their concept of customer service. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Comicninja0215 Ah! Maybe not in Labels then....likely on it's way to Grading or actually in Grading. Fast press cuts the pressing time in half which would still be 2+ maybe 3 months. |
