I've been looking at this since I started submitting to cgc a year ago. So to me its always been a feature that I didn't know wasn't there. I've also noticed that the grade will not post until the shipping day is acknowledge. As far as not getting notified about any of my submissions in the process I have only had it happen once where I wasn't being told what was happening with my J. Scott Campbell rogue submission and that was because a miscommunication on both cgc and my part, which was resolved and cgc absorbed the cost to keep me happy. | ||

I shipped two orders to CGC on January 20th to test their turnaround times. One was Fast Track Modern and the other just Modern. My Fast track was back in less than a month, really less than two weeks when they received it. My plain old Modern order just went into Grading/Quality Control yesterday, so 3.5 months so far (The TAT at the time was 6 Months). Compared to CBCS in which I am still waiting on an order from last July 6, 2021. |

@Nearmint67 I can understand this. Why should Customer Service waste time providing grades to people, when it is online when shipped or wait until you get the package. Save the element of surprise. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Bronte I called CGC customer service about mine because I did not write down the submission number and could not find it listed. They looked it up and provided a submission number to me and I was able to search for it. I keep all my orders in a Microsoft Access database that I created, but Submission number was one I did not track, because I thought order number was enough So if you submit an order be sure to write down submission number once it is received just in case your order will take longer than 8 months, which it will for pressing. |

21-1B89D64 Entered into the system 5/17/2021 for 5 Books Pressed with 2 Day Modern Grading. In 7 days, it will have been a full year since they were entered into the system. Still supposedly in Labels where they have been sitting for months. Nobody answers emails, not even the top dogs even after they say they will get back to you in 24 hours (multiple times). I guess at least the BA 12's keep going up in value. Someday I guess they will return.

Quote:Originally Posted by warlordofmars If you submit with a grade pre-screen (Highly Recommended. I always do this) you will have a good idea what the grades are when the submission gets to the billing stage. If the cost of the grading fee is shown next to the book, that means the grade is at least what you pre-screen grade was set at or higher. If there is 0.00 next to the book, that means it did not meet the pre-screened grade. So for new books pre-screened at 9.8, if the fee is shown, then you know you got a 9.8 or maybe a 9.9. Plus, you don't have to pay them in advance for grading when a grade pre-screen is used. You will only have to pay for the shipping up front. I just recently opened a Fed-Ex account and added the account number to my CBCS account. So now I won't even have to pay shipping costs up front. My future submissions will be 0.00 out of pocket until they books are graded and in billing ready to ship. Then pay them and a few days later, graded books are on my door step. ![]() |

I emailed customer service 04/19/22 for an update on my order # 21-2E12ECB (08/17/2021) and still have not received a response, I can say with 100% certainty that I will not use or recommend their services to anybody in the near future. At this point I am willing to pay the hostage fee to just have my books returned to me at whatever stage they're at so I can send them elsewhere. | ||

@Optimal_max Same here. I had 2 submissions (sept 21 & oct 21) noth with coupons. Basically a 4 for 5 deal. CBCS won't honor the coupons. My comics are just modern. No pressing, nothing. CBCS can keep the $$ I've paid for return shipping just send me my comics back. I've worked in customer service 30+ years. Worst I've ever experienced. I'm seeing guys on YouTube that submitted a month after me, same service, just modern comics, and they have them back already. CBCS should be ashamed and embarrassed. Shut down all new submissions until you are caught back up to original TATs. CBCS = Careless Business Crappy Service |

My order @ CBCS (3 Expanded, 10 Modern) Received at CBCS 7/26/21 Email from CBCS stating they were received 9/24/21 Email from CBCS stating payment received 9/29/21 Grading/Labels 2/15/22 (no e-mail, just noticed it on my invoice) Email response from CBCS CS stating order was in "Hot Seal" 4/27/22 No response from CBCS on follow up emails. I'd like to hear some explanation as to why orders received after mine have been completed and mine still sits in limbo. It has now been over 41 weeks. Slowly trudging on toward the 1 year mark. |

The thing that really gets me is that I paid for "fast pass" on an order that arrived the end of November. I feel they should refund that cost at a certain point ![]() |

I have another submission that was received in Sept. 10th. that are now in labels. |

Alrighty then you TAT-perts, Someone refresh me on when the TAT starts. I went and did a 1 book special with sigver and grading modern (no press) with the express bribe. Post Office confirms delivered Mon May 9th. Susposed to be 4 weeks, not including travel time back. But the question is when does the clock start? |

@BPaxson002 - TAT's start appx 1-2 days after delivery to CBCS or on the Wednesday after a Convention drop-off. Also, keep in mind that CBCS now calcs TAT's on business days. | ||

@Enelson - was there "Fast Pass" on the pre-1975 comics? If not, and there was not Press for any of the submission, then your Full submission TAT reverts to the slowest estimated tier. If those pre-1975 were either Consumer or Expanded without Fast pass, you estimated TAT would have been about 31weeks pre-April 7th(appx completion 1st week of July). Now it would be estimated at 224 business days(appx completion Mid-October). However, if the pre-1975 was also Fast Pass with no Press, then your Estimated TAT was 16 weeks Pre-April 7th(appx completion end of March) but now 112 Business days(appx completion End of May). |
