Bottom line... ignore the dashboard.

So maybe there is hope...

Just got the email:

Your XXXXXXXXXXXX is graded and now it is time to get the comics into a CBCS case! Your tier has entered the production area of the company and will only be here a short time before it ships out!

Received Mid July 2021, grading only submission.

Easter Bunny sounds kinda kinky.

I just got that same note and I've been on heatseal for a least a month. My comics were received in June 29, 2021. I'm expecting another 2-4 weeks before I see these comics.

BTW the dashboard always says processing, I need to look at the actual invoice to see where my comics are actually.

Picked up a press and grade Modern order from late April at CBCS today. Just to give folks an idea where they may be in the process.

Got the same email as well for my May submission which included VSP and prescreen pressing. Email came after I noticed the status had changed to Grading/Label last week.

Checked today and the status was now Billing. See that the prescreen press became an actual pressing. The Billing button was clickable to charge my credit card with the pressing.

Mid-July Modern no-press just shipped. I checked the grades and am very happy with the consistent grading compared to my last CGC order which was all over the place. I keep getting 9.6-9.8 books back from cgc as 9.0-9.2. The CBCS grades are exactly where I predicted. CBCS will be getting more of my business. Hopefully TA times will improve.

My invoice has said Grading for about a month. Finally got the email that they were in the grading room and would be graded soon. August 1 submission at a convention with signatures and no pressing. I am guessing that I have about another month before they show up. Have been on the edge of my seat since Aug. LOL

3 questions:


What is the realistic TAT for just a modern submission with a press/clean?
What is the TAT for 2-day Modern?
And...what is fast pass?

The listed TAT is

No idea how accurate it is

Fast pass cuts wait time in half

I would say without the 2 day modern, probably close to a year. It took me 8 months to get an email saying my stuff has been sent to QA (which is usually really quick). No press/no clean.

@Gustafson26 I'd suggest you wait until next week to get a better judge of things. Submission tiers are being changed.

Collector Gustafson26 private msg quote post Address this user
Thanks guys. I will wait for the submission tier change and go from there. Looks like the TATs bronte gave me a link to aren't very accurate at this point. I hate to leave my books in the unknown for that long but I guess I don't really have a choice if I want to submit stuff lol

I submitted three comics for signature verification and received by CBCS 3/14 and charged 3/16. I used my 2-day credits on them. Verification was completed on 3/24 (one failed and I had them go to grading only if verified). Grading was completed for the two verified and got my email yesterday that my comics are on the way. I realize I used 2-day and only had a couple of books, which expedited it. But I am excited to get back my first submission for grading/slabbing.

I have a fairly large collection of silver and bronze age comics that I thought I'd get graded. I made my submissions in June of last year. Got some of them back, but still have 70something comics in their system. Going on 10 months. Their dashboard appears to be frozen. The order that was ready for pickup, that I picked up, is still showing that it's ready for pickup. I'm pretty much soured on the whole process. I doubt I'll ever submit another comic. On the plus-side, those I did get back look really good in their capsules.

They didn't specifically say the TATs would be garauanteed, they said they were adding guarantees... could mean grade, authentication, etc.
If there were referring to TATs I would imagine it wouldn't apply to modern basic subs.
The prices will go up again, I read "limited price increases" means there's one coming, but hey... it will be "limited", and it will mean more quick tier submissions.

Question:
How long (or at what stage in the process) until the grades are visible on the dashboard?
I'm in shipping on the dash, shipToCanada on the invoice. (unless that is also inaccurate) but no assigned grades yet. (I get it that updating that part of the dashboard is last in the priority list)

@Fizbit Typically grades are available once the books have left the facility and you have been issued a tracking number for your order.

I’m not sure if “Ship To Canada” means the books have left the facility and are en route or if it means they’re waiting to accumulate enough books to ship back, or if it’s a blanket status for both.

Also, Canada orders seem to have a tendency to miss the last status update that makes the grades available, requiring an email/call so they can make that quick status change

Yep, this is great for people willing to pay up, but it's only going to exacerbate the current problems with their slow tiers. When this is launched, they should just eliminate the TATs all together if they can't honor them. Just put "subject to current backlog" and show what month's books they're currently processing.

This is only helpful for new submissions because they're supposed to honor the stated TAT when your books arrived, not what's currently on the website.

I am still trying to get my arms around where the bold lettering is going to be applied within CBCS. Is the doubling going to be applied to the Magazines and new Guaranteed Express services? Or is it also to address the current TATs for the shlubs who are told on the forums that they need to eat crow with their pathetic standard selections of 30+ week grade TATs & 70+ week Press times?


CBCS – A Bright FUTURE for Collectors
CBCS will continue to adapt and adopt to the industry needs. With the more than doubling of our grading and production teams, the unveiling of our Magazine service and guaranteed express turn times launching in 2022, there will be more exciting releases in the very near future. Stay tuned for more exciting news from CBCS – your partner in your collecting life and businesses!
