I am set up to de E-transfers also, if this helps at all.


My April submission still says "processing".
Hopefully one or two of the new hires will be strictly doing nothing but updating dashboards.
Orders go from received to grading to labels to encapsulation to shipping but all we see is processing....

@Nearmint67 The order will say Processing almost the entire time the books are at CBCS. The Grading/Labels/Etc status are per tier and are on your dashboard, per the instructions on the Newbie’s Guide

Yeah, I am aware of where the status are located on my dashboard.
All of my submissions are the same tier. When I submitted and printed the invoice to mail with the books, the dashboard says submitted. Then when (and if) you receive the email notification that your books have been received, the dashboard is suppose to update to say Received. And then you are suppose to get updated emails for each step as shown in the link you provided;

(If you click on invoice, you will see a list of books on the order divided by tier. At the top of each tier you will have a status specific to that tier. When the invoice is initially created these statuses will all read "Submitted." Once the books are received, these statuses will change to "Received." Tiers will remain in this status until they enter the "Grading" status at which point you should receive another email indicating the status change and will receive additional emails for subsequent status changes. After grading comes "Shipping" when the books are preparing to ship and "Complete" once the books have left CBCS.)bold text

But this has not been the case for the past several submissions I have sent in since last year.
They go to processing until they say shipped.
A few years ago, when things were not so hectic, no covid and fewer members here at CBCS submitting books, we got the emailed updated notifications and the dashboards changed as the books migrated through the system as it was designed to do.

Too many books in que and too few people processing the information has left most people with either submitted or processing. A few folks get "grading" or "shipping" updates, but not everyone.

No worries though, My buddy (Secret Agent Man --- Long Hair) has it under control.
Nothing like opening that box of CBCS graded books and seeing my Bronze Age Beauties popin' off at 9.6 & 9.8.... Woohoo...Yeehaw... Cutn'loose again...lol....

That’s what’s supposed to happen. The whole order is in processing while the tiers are in grading. Once all the tiers have been graded the order moves to Shipping, which is exactly what you are describing.

The email notifications have been hit-and-miss but aside from the monstrous delays we are seeing the system is pretty much working as it should

I submitted books a little over a month ago at a convention. The books i submitted on the Friday of the convention are in the system. My books I submitted Saturday have not been put in the system yet. But the books I submitted at the convention I went to last weekend are in the system. How do I figure out about my Saturday submission?

Wow. Ok, so here’s where I sit. Books that were submitted back in April at a con in Greenville, SC have been sitting in Grading now for well over 3-4 months now. Books which I submitted at a con the first week in August at the GalaxyCon in Raleigh, NC have yet to even show up in the system.

That's awful. Looks like I shouldn't expect my July 6th submission until January or February 2021, just in time for the new tax laws.

So I logged in to submit some more books and noticed on my dashboard that my comics from April are in billing status and I now have a balance... So for 5 months I had no balance and the check I wrote at the convention covered the balance based on what the representative filled out, and then *boom* I owe even more. I went and added a CC for payment, and attempted to pay the balance. Received a notification that it succeeded, but was still not off of my dashboard. Called customer support and they said on their end the payment failed and he will contact billing to contact me to reconcile the account. Ugh...why do I have a feeling it's going to be another two months before my books are shipped..

One of my submission had a lot of delay (submitted back in December 2020). I sent 3-4 emails to CBCS without any answer…

The submission went finally from « processing » to « shipping » 2 weeks ago. I quickly received another email saying « your book is now ready to be shipped ».

It’s been 2 weeks and it didn’t move since then. CBCS does not answer to my emails/phone calls… What should I do?

How long typically does it take an order to go from pressed to grading?

Take a deep breath and be glad it's only 2 books.
I have 5 orders with a total of 105 books. 30 were "received" on April 14th.
But if that isn't consolation enough, there's an open padded room at the comic book funny farm.
Haha,hehe,hoho......gottsa go.....there coming to take me away again....doh....

Click on the invoice number.
When it opens your order, look in the upper right corner.
It will tell you if it is received, grading, labels, or encapsulation.
Steve is slammed trying to grade books.

Darryl in customer service is the guy to pester about order status.
And if you send a private message to Jesse, he might ask Darryl to help you a little quicker.
Or, if that doesn't work for you, sneak on over here to the comic book funny farm. There's a few more padded rooms available....haha, hehe, hoho....doh...let go, take your, stop, help...mmmph...mmph..mmmmphph.....
