| @Scifinator I have a modern submission at CBCS. No Pressing, No Cleaning, No Labels. Delivered 27 weeks ago, received into their system and paid 22 weeks ago, that is still in "Processing". If, as people say, once it moves to next step is 10 weeks, then this will make total time after they received it at 32-37 weeks, depending on how you look at receive date. That is also IF they move it today. No answers to email, no resolutions from phone calls. Also, I am in USA, not Canada. | ||

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

Quote:Originally Posted by Cardzguy @Cardzguy - Good info, thanks for the details. So your is definitely on the wrong side of the estimated TAT. That said, there is no constant right now when it comes to the updating of the dashboard. We all have to remember, that that is the area that CBCS appears to be putting sacrificing while concentrating on the backlog. I have personally seen on many occasions that "Grading, Labels, QC, Encasement, and "Shipping" has been updated within a couple of days and even a couple of hours on some submissions. Obviously that is not what is occuring behind the scenes, it just happens to be when the date gets entered into the external dashboard for us to see. Here is hoping that you see something similar with your submission and get it back in the next week or so. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator @Scifinator..I sort of messed up when I dropped my order off at the con on 6/20. One of the books is the Maxx 1 ashcan black signed by Sam Keith. The CBCS rep at the show never said I had to do VSP (they a come that way) so I didn't pay for it (nor did he pitchmembership, fast pass etc). On this forum, I was corrected saying it would lower my grade if I didn't do VSP. I called customer service a few weeks later and they got VSP added and was charged almost immediately. I don't know if it pushed my entire order back or not. I tried Darryl and after a brief conversion, I'm not sure there was any resolution. I'll also be moving in the next couple of months and am trying to get the ship address changed. I think it's being worked on but not entirely sure. These forums really help so I'm watching these for details over my dashboard or invoice. |

| @Bobashek - Ugh! So, if you only have 1 submission number, with some press your overall estimated TAT would be 19 weeks for press plus 19 weeks for expanded (even though Maxx is modern, because it is Ashcan, it gets moved to expanded tier) plus 1 - 2 weeks for the VSP. Hopefully you get lucky and it slips through a little quicker, but looks like you will probably need the address updated. | ||

Ooooof! I was just about to answer @Makeminedeadpool and wanted to double check the TAT's, and...they have been updated.   Here is to hoping that with the new hires, that this is the point where the pendulum swings back. |

| With a 4-5 week turnaround, perhaps it's time to consider rebranding the 2-Day Modern offering? | ||

Supertom private msg quote post Address this user | |
| I may be to blame (or thank?) for the updated TAT. I reached out to Darryl this morning and he responded very quickly with an estimate of 23 weeks for modern submissions. I see now that the site has been updated as well. He also confirmed that the 8-10 weeks it's taking them to check books in, is included in your TAT and that they backdate the TAT to when your books arrived. I'm assuming that means I'm still in the 17 week range but based on other posts I'm not optimistic. At least this will give new potential submitters a better sense of when they can expect their books. The irony here is by updating the TAT it's going to push people to submit higher tiers and buy fast passes, which will only further delay the standard submissions. As discussed a few pages ago, I really think it's time to shut things down or at the very least stop all standard modern submissions. Nearly half a year (or nearly a full year with a press) to see your books again is a bit redonkulous. |

| @jwhite2737 - You may have seen it, but shortly after I made the response to you, CBCS updated the TAT's, so now it looks like 24 weeks for Press plus 22 weeks for grading, so, here is to hoping yours comes back to you sooner than the updated TAT's. | ||

| My expanded order with fast press and normal grading was received April 12th. Invoice says it’s in labels. If I go by the new turnaround time I should get them in January when I was originally thinking sometime in September I think. I get that TAT can change but for my first submission ever to take this long is getting frustrating. Just venting a little, excited to see my books whenever they arrive | ||

| @Slesko - if you are in labels already, you will likely be receiving your submission back sooner than January. | ||

Nuffsaid111 private msg quote post Address this user | |
| So if one wants a press and grading for a simple Modern .... let me pull out my trusty calculator.... hmmm .... hmmmm.... by my calculations I get the sine of 56 degrees + the square root of 17 divided by 8 and then take the tangent of that number and I get ..... . . . . . . . . . 46 weeks. Not bad!!! Cant we round it off to an even 52? It's just easier to say "expect my book in a year" |

| @Scifinator I like your knew moniker. But I'm thinking that if I could have chosen your moniker I would have gone with something you said a few months ago. Something like "I might be the reason your TAT's are so long". | ||

| @EbayMafia @Supertom - LOL i admit that in July of 2019, I tsunami’d CBCS. And even with the move of pressing from FL to TX at the same time as being shut down due to the Pandemic, they recovered and were a well oil machine in the 4th qtr of 2020. Now the speculation crush occurred plus cgc raises prices. I only jumped on the wave that was already in process and spread out 1,100 comics from May - Sept in a couple dozen submissions. I would have held off, but when the president of the company say he won’t raise prices during a pandemic, i start to read between the lines. I suspect the pinnacle has been reach and TAT’s start dropping regularly by year end like they started doing in 2019. |
