Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics I can certainly believe it. Pressed books were likely very close to 53 weeks by late March/April of 2021. I remember that turnaround times took a sharp spike around late March because I had several orders submitted to CBCS around that time. The one earlier in the year was a reasonable 16-ish weeks while the one just a few months later (around March/April) ballooned to over 20 weeks. Assuming Pressing is always equal to or greater than grading, you’re looking at 40+ weeks for pressing orders around March/April of last year and I think there’s anecdotal evidence in the TAT showing people only now getting their pressing orders from about a year ago. |

That would be so helpful for us to know that progress is being made and just a general idea. I do feel a lot of complaints would not be happening if we were in the dark for just so long on progress. |

Quote:Originally Posted by xkonk Yeah, my submission was 14 books, 3 of which were 2-day modern(UF4, X-Men 94, X-Men 129)and one re-holder (DD 131). The only book that's advanced is the re-holder which is in "Grading" (odd that's even a stage for a re-holder). All others have been stuck in "Received" since last Oct even though customer service told me they were in Pre-grading a month ago. So, moral of the story, I have no clue what's going on with my books. I think they've thrown a lot of their standard procedures out the window at this point. Like sailors bailing water out of a sinking ship, just hoping they can buy themselves enough time to make it to land. Based on other posts of July orders making their way into grading I'm just hoping they'll arrive in 2 months putting my TAT around 39 weeks, and a full year since I shipped them off to a 3rd party presser. My biggest fear now is whatever improvements were made by the press will have reverted making half of this venture pointless. |

| 2 year TAT w/ pressing is not so bad at my age. Just keep me above ground and someone alert me when the dashboard indicates shipped.  |

Hi people I'm not trying to argue or anything just want to if anyone can answer my question cause i dont know.I just got this ear Michael Gee,Just letting you know that your tier 21-25A2E2E-MD has been moved into the Pressing area of CBCS. Please check CBCScomics.com for updated turnaround times for Pressing, as they could vary. We will do our best to get your tier pressed and moved to grading as quickly as possible. As soon as that happens, we will send you an email. At any time, you can check the status of your tier at https://www.cbcscomics.com/account and log into your account. Once you are logged in on your dashboard you can view the status on any order by clicking on its link. Thanks again for submitting to CBCS and we look forward to pressing your books! Happy collecting! The CBCS Pressing Team - So where have they been since july 7, 2021??? Really, i wont get f--king pissed off (like last time) just want to know. have they really been getting sign all this time??Was it because of the the two signature??? And they still need to get graded right?? no need to tell how long it will take.they remove the one book that didnt get sign. What can I do to the next time to make this better?? just want to know what i did wrong thanks for any help you can give. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Or people who don't want to wait 2+ years need to stop submitting books. For those who are willing to wait, why would they turn them away? As for me going forward, I'd only send in quickstream or 2 day modern, no press. Learned my lesson the hard way. |

@Supertom @KatKomics - Not yelling, but if people are submitting press orders when the estimated TAT is 26 weeks, 50 weeks, or 71 weeks, etc., as long as they have the room to properly store them, as @Dawnstar stated, Quote:Originally Posted by DawnstarYes, I know that those of us who submitted back in the 1st & 2nd qtrs of 2021 (myself included) did not see this kind of a backlog coming. But from a for profit business perspective, capture the market share and do what you can to eventually whittle the TAT down while doing your best to maintain quality. If you run out of room/space, that would be a point at which I would halt submissions. |

| Y'know the funny thing is I thought I had the best solution for this backlog in the industry and that was to simply send in 10 - 13 books per month, every month to either of the big two. I committed to it; have done it (starting last May), felt like my own solution provider instead of complainer, and yet I still sit here without a book to be had from either co. So much for fielding THAT solution. Ptooey! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Dawnstar Maybe that's a valid point now, but the problem is, none of us who are currently waiting, signed up for 32+ week TATs. If last July/August the TATs were updated to what they are now, that may have slowed things down enough and prevented the current situation. Quote: Originally Posted by Scifinator I just keep thinking about the amount of risk they're taking by storing this massive horde of books. Millions of dollars worth of collectibles. I'm not sure how they could even be fully insured for the value of what's in their vault with how quickly they were buried with submissions. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Supertom As someone who is still waiting for a July order with press, you are preaching to the choir. Not to mention, at that time they also had an 8-week TAT still listed on the pricing page. Apparently I was supposed to know to ignore that and look somewhere else for the more current TAT page (which also turned out to not be correct anyway). But the point is that even with the insane TAT's now being listed accurately or at least in the ballpark, tons of people are still sending in tons of books. Despite all the gripes here (from me included), the grading business is not hurting from it. The hard truth is that the days of getting your books back in a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable price are OVER, at least until the inevitable raw revival happens a decade from now lol |

Quote:Originally Posted by Supertom exactly!! if I knew my March, April and May orders last year were going to be closer to 1.5 years than 8 months then for a few at least - I would have added fast pass/fast press to them i.e. in November I have a 1 book order with fast press and pass in hopes it makes it to MCS by this December (Super Mario Special Edition #1 [1990] - should pull mid to high 9's) |

| I received an email today that one of my invoices has finished grading and is in the encapsulation stage which I kind of already knew since an employee with CBCS was kind of enough to update me on Monday and mentioned it was in heat-sealing. This invoice was made up of comics that were sent in last July for the Tynion/Dell'Edera signing, no pressing, no fast pass. They did move through grading fairly quickly as last week I was told they were in "Pre-Grade" so I was quite pleased to see they were getting ready to ship fairly soon. I still have about half a dozen invoices still out there though in various stages. Now if only I will hear back from CBCS about a few books that were encapsulated into the wrong style of case. | ||
