@Jarr131929 - my Quickstream press and grade was pretty close to a estimated TATs

@78pts, @Cardzguy is absolutely wrong. Your estimated TAT would start a day or so after the Aug 28th receipt date. That said, your Est TAT can and has increased due to Fast Pass and higher priced tiers such as 1 Day, 2 Day, Rapid & Quickstream coming in large enough quantities to continue to bump our lower tiers out.

Turnaround times start when they receive it in, NOT when the box is delivered. I have submissions "delivered" 40 weeks ago with no pressing or special instructions that are still showing "submitted"

You TAT starts the day after order has been delivered to CBCS and his back dated to that date.

@Cardzguy - received/delivered is semantics. However, based on your first post, you insinuated that once the dashboard reflects received, that is when TAT starts, which would not be accurate as CBCS may not update the dashboard to “received” status till several days, weeks, or even months after they internally checked the submission in. As @Elvinv and I stated Estimated TAT starts about a day after The delivery is made to CBCS.

At this point, I'm not sure if any of the details about received or delivered or entered into the system matter if you're trying to determine some type of logical calculations based on the official CBCS information.
The official information that you would think you can build an expected completion date is:
1. Stated TAT's (that don't seem to be accurate)
2. Dashboards (which are just an absolute mess and barely reliable.)

If one is trying to determine a calculated completion date for their books to be graded; but the TATs can't seemingly be relied upon; and certainly not the dashboard relied upon, then I don't know how any logic can be built into one's calculations. It is inherently flawed; and I think that's where the extreme frustration comes in for most/many.

I have just pretty much given up looking at any official information. Instead I rely on Forum members to better approximate my delivery based on their subs. In my experience, to do anything else is an exercise in futility, aggravation and frustration.

So, tell me why my regular modern submissions, delivered 40 weeks ago and paid in full 31 weeks ago are still not headed to grading.

It looks like people are starting to get back early June submissions, though still some March-Mays trickling out as well. The explosion in the hobby and inability to scale something like accurate grading means that (as @Scifinator pointed out) TATs have skyrocketed for lower tiers due to "line jumping" by submissions using higher tiers. The real TAT from last Spring-mid-Fall appears to be 33-37 weeks for lowest tier submissions with 45-52 weeks for submissions with pressing. Not saying it's right for them to have been that far off in their stated TATs, but that's the situation we're in.

My guess would be due to large amounts of submissions made at the fast pass level and above all jumping ahead of you (and those others who submit regular) causing an increase in TATs.

@Cardzguy - did you have any of the comics in that submission either bing pressed or for mail in signing?

Again, regular modern submission. No pressing, signing, cleaning, special labels or anything. 5 different submissions in 2021. One submission lost, other 4 gathering dust. Yes, I said lost. They can't find it from 10 months ago

THAT is my worst fear<<>>!!!

I have SO MANY other books i could have sent in to get graded but...THAT is the exact reason i did not. I could only imagine losing all my good books 0o ..
...so, now what >?...are you just out or is there a reimbursement>?

It was a reimbursement. If I thought they were going to lose my Stan Lee signed book, I would have declared more on the value.

@etapi65 the website is always a bit off. Not usually as much as it is now but somewhat. They should, at this point, scrap mentioning TATs and just announce which time period they are working on in the various tiers and pressing.

Thanks for the clarification… so I’m to be optimistic it will finish up soon…

A question to those more seasoned than myself, would a fast pass on pressing only cut the time at all?
