| Anyone have any idea how long it is taking CBCS to receive books? I'm not talking TAT. I mean from the time the shipper drops the packages off at the door to the time they are marked "Received" in the system. CGC has it down to a week. My last CBCS submission (Really it is the only one) took 2 months last year. Is it worth doing the super duper express options if it still takes months to get them checked in? |

| I got a 2 day modern with fast press back in less then 3 weeks. That included transit time to them and back to me. I mailed it on april 4th, got it up on monday the 18th. That seems pretty awesome to me. |

| I sent in a "New Express" a couple weeks ago (no press, but grade pre-screen on half the submission) and it's graded now and currently in billing to deal with the books that passed the pre-screen. Had I not added the pre-screen I think the books would be in labels/shipping by now. They're still on time with a week to go. The submission was 'received' shortly after it arrived at CBCS. Not bad at all. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

| @BPaxson002 - My last 5 submissions of 2 - 41 comics each (3 modern, 1 expanded, and 1 2 day mod/Rapid combo) in February were all marked as received within a 1 - 3 days business day period. | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

| It also seems prudent to mention once again that there's a difference between when CBCS receives something and your TAT begins (usually same day or next day from when it is delivered in Dallas) and when it is marked received on the customer side of the website (much more variable). If you send something under the superduper express option it will be done in that time, not when you see it marked received plus that time. | ||

What I want to know is how long it takes from the time postman bob drops it off at the door to being marked in the system as received. That is the benchmark I am wanting in trying to decided whether to give CBCS any more of my money. This whole "you TAT is going to start" blah blah blah is crap. I believed it when I sent my order in and now it has been far exceeded. |

| My last five CBCS orders have been "received" within three days of USPS delivery confirmation. In August and September of last year it took nearly two months for an order to be marked as received. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros I thought I made it rather apparent I would like something less than 4 months without paying for a superduper express. With superduper express, I expect 2 weeks, but not if it takes 2 months to get it received. |

Quote:Originally Posted by BPaxson002 No, you didn't make it apparent. No mention of "less than 4 months" anywhere. So with the responses stating between 1 & 16 days to receive... and you want less than 2 months... You should be good. I'm sure CBCS is looking forward to your next submission! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros My mistake. I have mentioned this on so many other threads, I forget which is which. I sent off 4 books last week of August 2021. 3rd week of October 2021 They were marked as "Received". Since then, nada. Not moved one micron. It is like Kang has frozen them in a loop of time. During December, I got an email from CGC to have a bottom tier membership at half price. So I thought what the hell. Joined, sent in 3 books last week of the year. A week later, marked received. April 1 2022 CGC order marked ready for grading. 3 weeks later, Books graded and back in my hands. CGC time : 4 months. CBCS time: 8 months and counting. Since then CBCS has introduced superduper express service. So the question is it worth paying extra for supposed 2 weeks time grading if it take 2 months to simply receive the books. Now everyone's excuse is "It was really received sooner but not marked as such". I say bullshit or lets see some evidence of it. As to CBCS looking forward to my next submission: They could not give to rat fucks whether I send in more books or not. They right now have more business than they can handle. All they care about is generating more revenue, so they have crap like the superduper express service. All that is a bribe to pass to the head of the line. I mean if we are going to bribe, I'll give a hundred bucks to get my books moved. All someone has to do is be a top level CBCS officer and email me to work it out. |

| Regardless of the receiving time or TAT, I use both because of their services. I've come to the realization a long time ago that I'll have a long wait time no matter who I send them to. I like the CGC label better compared to CBCS because of the contrasting colors (blue and black) used as opposed to different shades of blue. I like CBCS and their signature verifications and because of Steve Borock. Although I have never met him personally, I have known about him for many years and trust him. I too have complained about the TATs and you know what? They didn't get here a single day sooner. The moral of this story is to pick who you want and stop bitching about the TATs because it doesn't help anything, not even your heartburn. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 It isn't about being rough, it is about business practices. Superduper express is a band aid, looking to make short time revenue. The problem is CGC now has them beat on cost per book with more or less the same time. if the back door time is 2 months, CGC wins again there. The only thing CBCS has going for them right now is sig verification. So the real question is whether things are going to get fixed (which means money) or do they think the band aid is going to solve things. |

| I currently have 2 subs in with CBCS using the new express options and another older express order thats been slowly processing. My new sub was split into 2 orders. 1 bunch with just regular blue label and witnessed sigs and the other sub was with verified books. Delivery was received at CBCS on the 18th with both invoices in the same package but separated for process. The non-verified invoice was booked on within a couple of days but the verified invoice has not yet hit the system. I presume they are using this 'book in' time to process the signatures via BAS before booking it in and starting the TAT clock. Im eagerly waiting to see if the suggested turnarounds happen, and even more curious to see if these new orders will leapfrog my existing 'older' submissions which have been in the system for a while now and also have the faster processing added. I think this potentially is something that can/will infuriate people who have older fast pass subs being passed by newer 'fast pass' subs. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros Sure it does. They have my $224 dollars already. Whether I send in more books or not is immaterial When at least 11 new people are infatuated with with the superduper skip the line bribe. Those books are going to get graded anyway, but the bribe is gravy to look good on the balance sheet. |

| @BPaxson002 What exactly is your agenda here? We get it. You're not happy with CBCS right now... period. Are you just trying to drum up hatred, get people to send their books elsewhere, or just continuously spout your displeasure to see if you can get someone to troll you? Asking for a friend. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Sigur_Ros CORRECT No business that actually wants to STAY in business will purposely do things to turn away long-term or potential long-term customers. S*** happens. The market goes utterly mad and suddenly the production model barely functions and it takes time to change it enough to where it handles all this new business the same way the old production model did. They are putting in the effort to make the changes, and that's all I need to see for right now. Am I frustrated that my books are hanging around in 3rd-party-grading Limbo? Of course I am, but pissing off the folks who are working on getting my books back to me someday isn't going to help. |

Quote:Originally Posted by OGJackster I would think it would be rather obvious is that I want what I have paid for in time and money. Given that, I would also like a reason why anyone would think doing the superduper bribe would be worth the time. Course the main reason for this thread is what the time from of USPS dropping off at the back door and being logged into my dashboard as "received". I think one person has said what their current experience is what that, the rest has been doubletalk about when tats start. You should tell your friend they should speak up more. |

| Indicating a timeframe for entry on the dashboard probably ranges from nearly immediately to almost forever. It'd be an estimate. TATs are estimates. Customer service response time is an estimate. Working to get issues corrected is an estimate. Even my charge card 10 months ago is an est.... woops... oh.... yea.... that wasn't an estimate |

This is their site and if I said the sky was green, they could say I was foisting bad scientific data and stop my account. That is how twitter handled things, til Musk bought them out and now it is going to be a useless piece of trash. But I digress.... If they start suspending people for complaining, what other avenue of contact will they maintain? Time after time, phone communication proves useless. Other treads have shown emails are going unawnsered. They don't seem to let you in the door, even if I were to try to set foot in TX. The other other two options are registered mail and the court system It is probably cheaper to let me rant here. |
