@Bobashek - Good question, but, tough to guage. Keep in mind, that there are different departments involved. Based on my submissions, from early may through july, I have now been billed through mid-june and the early june order that I alluded to above, I just got an email from billing a few minutes after to which I immediately responded and Voila! it moved from Submitted to Processing. My points are, it was received a week or so prior to my previous submission movement,

@Bobashek - continuing-sorry, hit reply before i finished.

Anyway, the other point is sure, there could be a monster submission(s) that further gum up, but other things could crop up to disrupt what consistency they are seeming to have in catching up with the dashboard, billing, and comms. Could be that some people get sick, a slew of orders need billing clarification or something, etc.

But if I were to bet, as long as no new major incidents occur, I would not be surprised if you saw some dashboard movements or billing before August month end. Could even happen this week.

@MurrayC - but, your TAT’s are subject to the US /Canada exchange rates. 😉

Thanks @scifinator. Like lots of newbies to the process, this also is my first submission and hopefully I will be better informed after this learning experience.

@Bobashek - no problem. Who knows, maybe things are back to normal by the rime you send in next order.

I tsunami’d CBCS back in july 2019 with a submissions totaling over 3,000, of with 2/3 was for press. It help gum up the works for a bit but in the 4th qtr before the pandemic hit, the dashboard was working like a well oiled machine.

I wonder if CBCS should, if they don't currently, have a consumer stream and a business stream. Seems like that would open the process up to faster throughput for shleps like me who send in eight comics.

@Caffeine_Kid - Well, with large submissions like the one I did back then, the actually do backburner them to a degree. In essence, they will break it down and integrate x amount at the time. In actuality, on the straight grading orders, they had a guaranteed TAT promo going on and they actually met those 5 or 6 week guarantees for their customers, even with my submissions intermingled. There was no such guarantee for the press orders, and pressing isn't really something you can throw man-hours at, so that is were I bogged them down. But again, when one submits several hundred or several thousand comics, that persons TAT's are beyond that of normal submitters so as to lessen the impact on everyones tats

@Scifinator thanks for that explanation. I appreciate you taking the time.

Guaranteed TAT time promo. Those were the good old days.

I don't know if this will make anyone feel any better, but it should put things in perspective:
The company that I sell projects for is in the Home Improvement industry. Our major supplier just gave us another 10% price increase on key products...it is the 5th price increase in the last 14 months. Not only have our TAT's grown from a normal of 5 weeks to a new high of 13 weeks...but our project prices are honestly 65% higher than they were 14 months ago when the Covid lockdown lifted.

Awesome job! 1st submission to "The Best" comic book grading folks in the biz....
If you are not aware, (as some newbies) that the president and founder of CBCS (Steve Borock), also the Head Grader here at CBCS was also at one point the president & head grader at CGC (which made CGC great - at that time). Steve was also the head grader at Heritage auctions for a while. No other grader has his tenure in the comic book hobby/business.

Point here is that we here at CBCS are in the best hands for having our books graded "ACCURATELY".
Not to mention for 16.00 vs. 22.00 grading fees. And 9.00 vs. 15.00 fast pass fees. (CBCS vs. CGC).
It's a no brainer to grade comic books with CBCS.....

Just got the CBCS email that the Dell'Otto special in-house signing is all graded (for those of you that submitted books for the Dell'Otto signing). This dates back to late 2020 so this is a good thing.

Dear Kidhuman,

Your following CBCS submissions are ready to be shipped:

21-11AA504-CN
21-11AA504-MD


Just received this email. I mailed them on 3/29 and they were received on 4/2. It wasnt fast tracked. So this should give some people a timeline of their orders hopefully. About 5 months beginning to end. I know if later it could change timeframes, bit this is an estimate. Also my first slabs ever, so I am giddy to get them back. It was the first three parts of the Kravens Final hunt series.

My pressing order shows "peocessing" on both my dashboard and the invoice but my standard slab order shows processing on the dashboard but still Submitted on the invoice.

Realistically, is one going to be more accurate over the other?

@Bobashek - invoices don’t always get updated right away and often don’t match to dashboard. Sometimes it does, but not always. Congrats on the updates.

@kidhuman - have you looked at the grades yet? Or, are you going to wait to open the box?

I had pressed, cleaned and submitted by third party and asked not to know grades.
