Wow. If they actually charged for invalid tier I would be very surprised. I mean unless the book was a major key I can't see how they could justify it given the time it spent in limbo.

Nope just straight 2 day and rapid grading, no extras. I was already charged the day after it was delivered.
@HotKeyComics - could be that maybe valuation of one or more of the comics submitted dictated a tier/billing modification or something. Every couple of days or so, click to see if the โ€œbillingโ€ has been changed to a clickable hyperlink and in the meantime send email to custserv.


I doubt it since the 2 day is good up to 2k value, unless maybe one of my metals got a 10 and they are increasing that above a 2k value? My rapid shouldn't be above a 4k value, its a mid grade French-Canadian Hulk 181. I dunno.

I know mine have been there since July. They've been in grading status for many months on a planet far far away. (Sorry been on a Star Wars kick) but really though just sent in for grading from raw to slab no pressing nothing extra.

FYI....

My books mailed on July 6th (USPS delivered on Fri 7/9)
I did two orders in one box -- No press -- just grading
-- First Order had 7 Consumer, 8 Quick Stream, 1 Rapid
-- Second Order had 16 Expanded

All dates below are when I received emails

Order 1
======
* Received 8/23/21
* Grading 8/27/21
* Production 3/14/22 (put in case)
* Completed 3/15/22
* Shipped 3/17/22
* Should arrive in KY tomorrow 3/21/22

Order 2
===========
* Received 8/23/21
* Grading 12/20/21
* Production 3/17/22
so expecting these very soon

I cheated and looked at the grades of order #1 (posted when shipped)
- Surprisingly
All my consumers were .5 to 1.0 below what I had thought
All my quick stream were a .5 to a 1.5 above what I have thought -- woohoo
My Rapid was two points below -- slightly brittle pages and a spine split I did not see would be my guess as reason

7/23 Delivered still in Processing/Received. Feel like there isn't any light at the end of the tunnel any time soon if some people are sitting in grading for months. If I had known it was going to take this long to see any form of movement I wouldn't have sent them. Now I'm just stuck and can't even get them back.

I figured out why mine went back to billing after grading, I had used a rapid pass from my silver membership and the invoice was billed in full originally with a $81 credit applied to my account, the $81 credit was refunded to me when it went back to billing.

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC? Scifinator private msg quote post Address this user
This just in....

Estimated Modern TAT moved up from 31 to 32 weeks
Estimated Expanded & Consumer TAT's move down from 41 to 31 weeks.

All Press and other Grade TAT's remain the same as last week.

That's a good update, in that maybe the peak been summited.

So, my order from April 16 (if I put in the order April 16, they probably received it around April 20'ish or so) of last year just moved to shipped today.

It was 4 moderns (no 2 day or anything and no rapid/fast pass). All 4 had sig verifications, and 1 was pressed (so they all had to wait).

Nice, that's a good sign for you then!

This is the only sub I've ever done w/out a fast pass. So I'm interested to see what the difference might look like. I have a sub from Jul 21 of last year that was all fast pass. No sig verifications, but it did have press screens (which I'm sure means at least 1 or 2 presses). Seems like that should be getting back here in the very near future if fast pass actually means anything.

@xvipah I'm in pretty much exactly the same situation. Sent some of my personal collection books on the slowest possible trip in April. Then I had some free fast passes, I think from renewing my membership, and had just found a few things at my LCS for a potential flip and they went in July.

Stupid question on my part. Are you looking at the most recent version downloaded? When I download on my phone it saves it as document then adds a number at the end. In the past i was looking at the initial document vs the most current one. It wasn't until I paid attention to download date that I saw the most recent update....

My modern grading only submission is also at 37 weeks and has been in labels for 16 weeks. Not sure why they keep pushing it back since it's well beyond the estimated turnaround now.

I feel your pain, still waiting on July books also. If I had known this, I would have sent them to CGC and they would have been back in January.
