| @Jesse_O One can only surmise the multitudes of complex and astronomical collocating of one's individual assertation to the longevity and enduring of the abyssal whereabouts of said comic book could be as confusingly convoluted as this statement. In laymen's terms, I have no stinking idea as to when I will see my books again  Now, I must prepare another submission to ship off into the abyss of comic grading.... |

| Books submitted July 8 2021, modern - no options. TAT at the time was listed as 8 weeks. Books now in grading (dashboard) and in labels according to PDF invoice. Someone else reported a shipping notice for July 7th submissions, however according to others experiences it may be months before I finally hit the finish line. Someone please explain how books of the same tier recieved 1 day apart will end up completing with 3+ months difference in processing time? |

| Perhaps a silly question, but once the books are pressed, they then go to the back of the grading line correct? So hypothetically if you submit books in January for a press and grade, and for arguments sake letās say they finish the pressing in June, thatās when the grading timeline starts. Itās not like there was a placeholder or anything. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Fizbit If you submitted through the CBCS Canada portal and they submitted through the standard US portal then that can EASILY put you in weeks-long disadvantage even if we werenāt seeing the insane backlog we are seeing now. There was no mention if the other order had any fast pass or other expedited options selected. And if submitting through the Canada office, grading tiers are not 1:1 analogous with the US tiers Regardless of what was being listed on the website (it still says 8 weeks for moderns on the Canada pricing page while no turnaround times are given on the US pricing page), turnaround times for grading have been 20+ weeks since March/April of last year |

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk I believe this to be correct as well. This is why to calculate TATs for pressed books you need to add the Press TAT to the Grade TAT to get an approximate total TAT. |

Quote:Originally Posted by wildmind@wildmind - that would indicate that CBCS is holding your submission to be picked at their office by you or a proxy, such as MCS. If you did not want your submission picked up, you need to contact them to switch to be shipped back to you. If uou did want it picked up, you need to make arrangements to pick up. |

Quote:Originally Posted by wildmind I assume you are referring to the USPS tracking information. āAvailable to Pickupā tends to occur when the post office was unable to deliver the package for whatever reason. Typically they will deiver the next day so Iām not sure what is happening that would keep it in that status for several days |

| My TAT started when the books hit Dallas, not the Canadian office. With differemces in return shipping etc I expect delays not associated with USA orders, but the grading process (and TAT) is the same regardless of where the books originated from. The member who submitted July 7 and recieved their shipping notice was straight grade with no accerated services. Another person who submitted July 6 in still incomplete (they didn't state where they were at, ie labels etc). So basically there is no line. Just a pile.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jarr131929 @Jarr131929 - No, they do not get "opened first". All boxes are opened within a day or so of receipt. As CBCS inspects the submissions, they are categorized and placed in queues by tiers. HUGE note, if one puts multiple tiers on one submission, the whole submission is place into the queue of the lower/slowest tier. However, if you place multiple submissions(each with single tiers) in one box, each submission will be separated into its corresponding tier. |

| NOTE TO EVERYONE - Coincidently, the estimated TAT's have been updated today. Apparently, CBCS is getting bombarded with Consumer and Expanded submissions as those now have longer estimated TAT's than modern. Looks like they are treading water on the 1 Day, Rapid, Quickstream, 2 Day Modern tiers as those all stayed the same for both Grading and Pressing. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Fizbit That's me. Received by CBCS July 6th, been out of grading since early December and still in labels. Next Tuesday will be 36 weeks for a Modern submission, grading only. I believe a solution to the turnaround times would be to split the modern tier. Anything from 1975 to 2010 should have a separate and faster turnaround time than anything from 2010 on, which should be at least 52 weeks, to deter people from submitting so many insignificant recently released books. They should maybe even consider doing it from 2000 or later. If it's that significant from 2000/2010 on, it'll be worth more than $250 and customers can always use 2 day modern or consumer tier instead. That being said, my recent submission contains a lot of post 2010 crap, but I wouldn't complain about splitting the tier. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 You cannot submit books earlier than 1975 at the modern tier. Books within the same order within the same tier do not get separated. You choose the tier when you order, not CBCS, unless you submit something not valid for a particular tier, then they move it. So you couldn't do a book from the 1960's at the modern tier, if you tried it would get moved, but you otherwise you can submit at any tier that's valid. The important thing to remember is that tiers are based on value and age. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nearmint67 @Nearmint67 - It depends. When you submit, you have options for 1975 to present. Those being: Modern - valued under $250 Consumer - valued up to $400 2 Day Modern - valued up to $2,000 Rapid - Valued up to $4,000 1 Day Modern If you choose some from different tiers on the same submission order number, the whole submission will be based on the slowest/lowest estimated TAT. That said if one submits a 1977 Star Wars #1 that is clearly a 9.6-9.8 under "Modern" tier, (trying to circumvent the higher cost) one can expect it to be reclassified to the 2 Day Modern or 1 Day Tier. So like I referenced, unless you do not care about TAT and want to save on total shipping costs, you can mix and match tiers on one submission. Otherwise, you can place two or more submissions (based on single tiers per submission) in one package and CBCS will put each submission in its appropriate Tier queue, and the will be shipped back separately as completed. @Figment, I don't think he was asking about pre-1975, but your point is accurate since he referenced the Expanded pre-75 tier. And to all, again, you can submit pre-1975 with 1975-later tiers on the same submission, but the whole submission gets the slowest tier estimated TAT within that submission. |

| I'm always impressed when I reach the TAT slated on the website and send a friendly email to Darryl only to receive a reply that TAT is now 34 weeks instead of the 25 that was there for the past 6 weeks. As a dealer it's getting rather impossible to sell new graded books because no one wants to wait for them. | ||

My 32 wk & 34 wk TAT on two orders received the same day in the same box and you at probably 36 wk. received a day later.As to your split modern suggestion, I am calling Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo. (Those of us from the Bronze, Silver, and Golden Age brackets should get that reference immediately. Not so certain about the Copper, Iron and Modern Ages though.) |
