The only way to solve a mystery of this magnitude, would be for them to pull at least 12, no, 42 people away from the labels and shipping departments to perform a full on CSI Miami level investigation. I’d much rather they spent the time getting my books out the door. Trust they’re in good hands and uh, stop complaining, jeeeze!


not complaining too much...just surprised is all - I did mention that I trust the other orders that were in labels first will eventually make their way out.....

yeah..probably putting all the orders together to send back at once??

What I really want is the March order to go to MCS - thats $$$ for better books!!

The other orders are nice and all...but I'm likely to keep all those for my PC - so they can take as long as they like to get home

Nice to receive an email that a submission shipped out to me today. It was fourteen books grading only, no fast pass. Dropped off at Summer-Con on 6/18/21, shipped from CBCS to me on 3/1/22. I told myself I would avoid the dashboard but my willpower is low today so I looked. All 9.8 except one book which got a 9.2 but it's alright as I should have checked it first more carefully. One order invoice down, six more to go.

Possibly..I know @Scifinator stated he recently got back an order that was delivered the same day as mine, July 6th, but my order for pickup from MCS as well is still showing as Labels and has been out of grading since late November/Early December.

@Bobashek Thanks, it's nothing spectacular on this order, when the Image Comics series "Paper Girls" was announced in 2015 I ordered quite heavy on it, just had a feeling about that book. I bagged them all and basically put them away, and then of course the show was announced so demand has risen considerably. The majority of them are already graded, this order/invoice was for ten copies (all 9.8 except the one copy) and then I had sent in my set of Marvels #1-4 direct market versions. Back in the 90's I had Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross sign the outer covers so I decided to send them in under the VSP. I knew they would pass, was pleased to see them all get a 9.8's too. I am sure your order from Summer Con is shipping out this week if it hasn't already.

@flanders and the likely difference in the other two coming back to Canada is they will hold enought orders to fill a tote or two...or better yet..a few gaylords...then send them up to Oakville all at once...that's the hope!! that April and May come back the same time..will be interesting though with one a physical pickup and the other through mail once it get here in a gaylord.

@katkomics I hope that order was pressed first. It wouldn't make much sense if a grade only order was taking that long. If it's grade only you should make some phone calls because clearly there is some sort of error.

@flanders & @KatKomics - Not sure if i pointed this out, but I had 2 grade only submissions that were delivered on 7/6 and coincidentally, the one that was to be shipped back to me is the one that is first out, the 2nd that is for MCS pick up is still in labels.

oh no...just about everything gets a press or press screen if it goes in a slab - very rare that I don't now that I know pressing is a thing!

@Scifinator @KatKomics maybe they anticipate since none of us live in Texas and all of our orders are pick up that MCS will pick them up in one trip and are waiting to lump as many MCS orders together as possible.

I got my non-pressed order back a couple of weeks ago. I posted pics in a different thread. Now I'm just waiting on the pressed and slabbed order. Based on current TAT, I think it will be June-Aug before I get those back.

Please help!

I know this probably has been said thousands of times before but I'm starting to get worry, I've sent 5 books August 2021 and still showing the status on Billing, can you guys provide me with a direct number to call or a way to reach out, this doesn't feel normal

I don’t know if this helps anyone but I received my books back last week, these were from May 10 2021 submission all were pressed then graded.
This may give people some sort of time frame 🤷‍♂️.
I was happy with the results as always but I have to say the wait was long, and it will be a while before I submit anymore for a while.

Did you had any kind of status changes while you were waiting? mine says billing from the last 4 months

@Makkari
Yes but not initially for a long time really didn’t change until the last few weeks.
I know it’s frustrating and I can’t really help, although I never really relax until I see that received status.
Sorry I can’t be of any real use to you 😔

@Makkari - Have you tried clicking the billing tab? Occasionally, there may be a hyperlink provided if there is action required on your part. However, sometimes you may see “Billing” but it is for internal action by CBCS. I would check to see if you have a hyperlink. Cheers.

Mine were submitted around that same time and still show Billing as their status also. I know my cc has been billed so I assume it is a holding status until they move to grading, etc. Based on others examples in this thread, I'm anticipating another month before that happens.

@Jsmead1 @Makkari - Like I kind of referenced, it is probably a non actionable status, but every few days or week, just go back and click the “Billing” button to make sure it has not been changed to a actionable hyperlink.

Cheers!
