@jtruong008 I just got my Feb 2021 order back about 3 weeks ago (pressing) - looks like VSP was quicker than a press - hopefully soon.

Thing that sucks now is the graders notes haven't been released- I messaged Jesse_O a while ago but no news (maybe a delay with the holidays and all?)

Am I mistaken but don’t you start counting from June 2?

- Mailed out May 24th, 2021
- Arrived on June 2nd, 2021
- Marked Received on July 2nd 2021
- Noticed it in Grading when clicking on the invoice number, and marked Labels on the Invoice PDF on Oct. 28, 2021 (not sure when it actually was marked to those, since I didn't check those until that date).

Hopefully sometime in the very near future, I will get those books back, but not holding my breath.

Wow I really thought was when they received it in house and then they would back date it to the that date. So someone’s books can sit around for a month or longer before you begin to start counting the TAT?

I just want to point out that the date on your dashboard is the date the invoice was created, not the date it was received. If you submitted at a con, TAT will start the Wednesday after the con. If the comics were shipped to CBCS, then the TAT starts the next business day after they physically are delivered to CBCS.2 months ago Post 9 • IP flag post

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user

@Elvinv - correct, from the date that CBCS receives your shipment at their door is basically the start of the estimated TAT. If dropped off at a convention, estimated TAT start on the Wednesday after the Con.

Based on the conversations, you start counting on June 3 for your TAT. You are at 31 weeks by the end of the week not 27.

If that is the case, then hopefully it arrives soon. I got my books back from the other guys for straight grading, and those were sent to them later (had to space those out, wallet was already hurting).

So what happens when you pay for a specified service with TAT and it's not met? Do we get partial refund?
Post 312 IP   flag post
Collector Happyfacecomics private msg quote post Address this user
Yes, a full refund plus any damages you have incurred waiting around and doing nothing . You also get $44 a week credit for every week they go past the TAT date…………(sorry I was dreaming there for a minute about a perfect world )

@jsa - TAT is an estimate and not an absolute nor a guarantee. That said, they have offered Guaranteed TAT's in the past, but the last time I saw that was in 2019.

3/19/20 checking in. Pressing, VSP, and Grading. Hoping to see them by my birthday in June at this point.

Silver lining is that I've looked at independent pressers and found someone I really like that communicates and has a crazy turnaround time compared to CBCS. Sent in Iron Man 128 in August for the Bob Layton signing and he took care of everything. Now it's a race to see what I get back first, March batch or August event

still cant believe my books delivered august 23rd isn't in the grading stage yet. no pressing, no sig, no imaging. modern slow track. still on processing - received (shows "submitted" in PDF).

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
@glow the grading stage is the fastest part of the process. I believe orders from early June have been finished so you have a couple months left to go.

I'm 30 weeks 3 days and counting on a modern grading only sub received on June 8th. I'm not sure why the website says 25 weeks for the TAT when that's obviously not close to being accurate.

The 25 weeks is the current tat, if I remember correctly Junes was longer and thats the one to count. Given the time elapsed I'd hazard a guess that you should get your books this or next month.
