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

That said, from what I believe, the 22 week estimated TAT with no pressing is what you should probably expect at this point. Who knows, maybe there is a miraculous catch-up or an accidental jump ahead of others, but the safest bet is the updated estimate. |

| @ComicNinja0215 - could be minutes, hours, days, or weeks. Unfortunately it depends on how timely your grade completion notification was. | ||

| @Nearmint67 - My grandmother used to say "a watched pot never boils" as I myself check almost everyday for status changes. Even before there was a backlog. Cheers on the update. |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

| I think a lot of collector's are still being duped by the turnaround info on this page. It would certainly help ongoing submissions if this was more accurate. https://www.cbcscomics.com/grading-pressing-price |

| My order has been in labels for months now and here is a brief breakdown of their journey. Timeline: books delivered/invoiced into CBCS system April 20th, modern with VSP no pressing and no fast pass. TATs were at 15 weeks(14 for modern + 1 week VSP) when I first submitted. When my comics blew by the 15 week mark, new TATs of 18 weeks were posted a week later. When my order passed the 18 week mark, I inquired again if my books were getting close to ship time. A very professional customer service rep informed me that it looked like another 1-2 weeks before they would ship. Week 25 has come and gone and new TATs of 22 weeks were also updated recently. Sept 13th is when I reached out to Darryl and asked if there was an updated time frame or if my order will continue to be pushed back. Either way was fine since I can’t do anything about it and only wanted an honest answer. Sept 14th Darryl replied: “this should be hitting shipping shortly and I would think in the next week or two. I apologize for the delays” Flash forward to Oct. 14th and I reached out once again to see if the TATs were going change again as I have still not received any notification about said shipping and or progress. Oct. 15th Darryl responded with this reply: “this is in the encapsulation department and should be shipping out in the next few weeks”. I am unfamiliar with grading companies’ interpretation of “next few weeks”. I was told a month ago that 1-2 weeks the books would be shipping. Now a month later they will ship in the next few weeks. The TAT estimate is no longer relevant when the times are always changing. |

| So, just thought I'd update, as I've just gotten an update from CBCS. So that we all know the 'TAT' is 'more or less' accurate. 1. Mailed/Shipped off books (all modern standard, no pressing, fast stuff, etc) 4/29/2021 2. Books marked 'Received' on 5/17/2021 3. Books marked 'Grading' (along with e-mail saying they were done grading, and going to be 'encased' soon, on 10/21/2021 4. ... Hopefully they will ship soon. My Dashboard shows 'Grading' and doesn't have the grades, notes, etc. I hope I get them by next Friday ;p If this keeps up though I'll probably wait to get any more PC books graded til times go down. ------------ Total Time to Hit Grading (after received): 5 months ( Little over 21 weeks ) ------------ So estimated TaT's seem pretty accurate. So kudos there, I suppose. |

| I'm a first time submitter - so I'm not entirely sure how typical my experience is... but I find the status "updates" to be useless (I haven't received any emails like other posters are mentioning... except advertisements from cbcs - those come every few days like clockwork)... but my dashboard went from submitted (back in may), to received (back in june), to processing (present-day)... wish it was more honest (maybe that's not the right word)... there should be a more accurate "update" - like "in cue" or something... "processing" implies stuff is happening with my comics (other than just moving in line - hopefully). Then the Turn Around Time got updated to add on 5 more weeks - so I have no idea if that adds 5 more weeks onto my waiting, or if CBCS is going to honor the TAT at the time they updated my order to received (which would have been last week). |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator Yeah, I don't go into that to look for updates knowing it is 8 to 10 weeks from delivery date to received date and 22-ish weeks total TAT. I just saw it in my emails, which I do check several times a day as I am self employed, and wanted to share.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Reelgee @Reelgee - Labels is the stage after grading is completed. You may or (most likely right now) may not see QC, heatseal, encasement, and shipping on your dashboard which are the other substages between Grading, Labels, and Shipped/Completed. Depending on how long ago your comics actually moved from Grading to Labels (remember the notification may have been delay) you maybe minutes, hours, days, or weeks away from shipped notification. But, you are getting close nonetheless. Cheers |

Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @jwhite2737 - do you have multiple tiers? Otherwise, you should see labels after grading. If multiple tiers it might be that a quicker tier already went from grading to labels while a lower tier is still in grading. | ||

| Can anybody shed light on how long it takes on top of the regular turnaround time for Canadian customers who send their books to the location in Canada? At least for starters has anybody had any experience and how long it takes books to be marked as received when they are sent to the Canadian location in Canada? Any help would be appreciated. |

| so I just got another update saying my books just left pressing ( 7 months???)and it was gonna be a while Steve Ricketts told me months ago they had left pressing??? I called cbcs yesterday and the guy said I would have them back in November. I'm completely lost at this point. 5 of the books ( 1 order ) were just press pass as they came from IGC whose books are always 9.8 but press passed them just incase something happened in shipping as seems to always be the answer from cgc. I have never got an email or any update except from steve ricketts via forum and Jess_o who messaged me that they had left press and have gone to grading. well and the phone call. nice guy. I don't look to see my books until late 2023 at this point. I'm at a complete loss. | ||

| @timberghost I just sent you another message. Ricketts would be the one to know when they left pressing. Everyone said they are done with pressing. If the guy today was in Dallas and estimated November, go with that. | ||
