You must be used to CGC where they refuse to combine shipping on different tiers/pressing orders which substantially increases costs to consumers. CBCS won't split your orders and ship separately unless you create separate invoices and ask them to do so. The amount of comics you submit doesn't affect where you are in the queue. I'm actually impressed you got a response from the company president and are still whining.

The vast majority of the posts will be people expressing their similar frustrations and confusion, while a small subset of people with 10k plus posts vehemently defending the status quo and telling you that it’s your fault for not setting your expectations lower than what’s advertised on the website, it’s your fault for not understanding the current market, and there’s no way, no how, not a damn thing anyone can do about it. Any suggestions against the status quo will be deemed stupid, impossible and/or bad for future business despite other grading companies doing similar things. Unless you, yourself own a grading company you’re not allowed to criticize or offer suggestions for improvement. You are not a customer here paying hundreds of dollars for a service, you’re merely an servant to the comic gods and just be thankful your paper treasures can one day be blessed by their gracious touch.

anybody have this happen and which one would be correct???

@timberghost - Yes. Again, in typical times, many will not even see "Labels" on the invoice. And again, the external Dashboard which we see isn't being updated on a timely basis. Labels suggests that your comics have been graded and are somewhere between, Labels, QC, Encapsulation, Shipping, etc. As has been previously mentioned, this zone is one of the bottleneck areas.

Cheers.

man and I thought press to grade was the bottle neck, lol. It s all good as long as I see that they are some signs of life I'm fine. It was the 9 months of black out that had me frustrated, as i'm sure anyone would be, except for the ones that wanted to stone me just for being frustrated and taking 2 minutes of the big guys time acting like it takes him 23 days to read an email. In the military those kind of people usually ended up taking friendly fire, lol. but seriously thank you for always having positive input and helping us newbies understand the process even under these exceptional times. I can't wait to get my holy grail back graded and framed for the wall. peace.

@timberghost - I understand the frustration…on both sides. One needs to look no further than my Moderated assigned moniker to see that I have been on your side of the table. This forum was very helpful to me in understanding what was occurring and what to expect. I additionally read past posts to get a feel for how to wade past what i had seen from my first couple of test runs of one comic and a doz comic submissions to the 3,000 comic SDCC submission with no paperwork. That was some faith on the line.

And so while i for one have attempted to help newer submitters/forum posters understand what was going on I nonetheless got frustrated when i saw continued and repeated grousing, by some of the same posters, at the same things that that had already been addressed.

So in keeping with the military theme I, being a former sailor, admit and apologize for the shots across the bow that I leveled.

Cheers to you and all the forum posters. Be well. And be patient as I have will be.
