| Picked up my order from June 04 2021, yesterday, June 14 2022. My dashboard is showing that it's ready for pickup. Now I'm waiting on the last order I have from June 14 2021. It's showing that it's been "received". Of course by clicking on the order number it shows whatever is being pressed as being pressed. The rest is in limbo. "Processed". I suppose if I could've looked closer on the Doctor Strange movie I would've seen my order on one of those realms, somewhere. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darryl_H This goes against what I was told back in November, in that our TAT estimates are based on when they arrive. Which for me was 17 weeks. I was also told at that time that they were actually closer to 25 weeks. Well I'm on 43, so.... It's incredibly frustrating to hear the one thing that actually had some sliver of accuracy is no longer something we should reference when trying to figure out when we'll get our books back. If the TAT is an ever moving target then why estimate it at all? |

| For "slow tier" vintage orders received in September of 2021, Economy and Expanded, CBCS is now faster than CGC. My CBCS Expanded order received 9/6/2021 is now complete. My CGC Economy order received on 9/7/2021 is still at "Scheduled for Grading". |

Quote:Originally Posted by Supertom After getting many more gray hairs, losing hair, aggravation, frustration since the CBCS marketing push in april, I have finally come to just accept they are not who they used to be. It's sorta like when someone dies.... sorrow, anger, then acceptance. (Not sure if I was ever at the sorrow stage though... lol). They are catering to, and are all about the Express services. Because that means lost money if not honored. To think that correct information will be provided for standard tier submissions related to books submitted long ago with falsely published TATs, well - that's just not them anymore. It's a transformed company. The King is dead, long live the King |

| @Kasperb991 express orders? Im talking regular orders. Cgc is down to 3 months or less. Like I said, I've had 5 orders come back from cgc in the time my books have been with cbcs. But yeah, keep shilling that cbcs is faster than cgc and maybe one day it will come true! bahahahahahaha | ||

| Just got the notice today via e-mail on my non-pressing Orlando Megacon 2021 submission stating"... 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!" It's been listed as in heatseal for about 4 weeks, but I'm assuming it's headed my way very soon. August 18, 2021 would be official "received" date. It hit labels 3/16ish 2022, heat seal between May 19th and 23rd. Sitting at 43 weeks. I also know they mentioned that June -August were the heaviest months of the massive upticks in submissions. So if they're getting through the summer, non-press submissions I'm guessing the TAT will start coming down. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 Yep, sad but true. The current standard TAT of 224 means I should be getting my books back July 15th which based on the (apparently loose) status on my invoice makes sense. So 11 frikin' months. Nearly 3x what I paid for. Mind you 3 of these books, I paid for 2 day modern, but they stealthily changed their policy on splitting orders (even though their FAQ still says otherwise). It's clear that 224 number was carefully calculated to allow them to focus on the Express tiers. So while it may have been possible to get our 2021 orders out sooner, as soon as they launched the Express tiers, they just set them on the even slower track. I'm curious what their plan is when people see how miserable their Standard service is, and everyone starts using the Express tiers exclusively. It may be great for business at first but it's going to put them right back in this same situation, only instead of just screwing over Standard shlubs like us, it will actually affect their bottom line. They've created a sort of ironic business model, in that if they get another huge surge of business, it's actually going to negatively impact them. Either that or they drop the Guaranteed TATs and increase prices again. |

| Got the email 3 of my 4 books are ready to ship I would assume they wait to ship the whole group together is that correct? Jiat looked at it and they say shipping on all 4 books however I never got an email about the grade on the 4th book. Either way we are at 9 days from the date the books were dropped off on a 14 day TAT fast pass |

| So, if my submission of Modern, 2-day Modern and Expanded occured before the new tiers and pricing, where do I stand in terms of TATS? My order has been received and in "processing" for over 80 days and when I submitted (March 2022), I think TATS were less than the current 224 days. More than anything, I'm just curious. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by The_IronJedi @The_IronJedi - if that was one submission that contained all 3 tiers, you are on the slowest boat which would be either the Modern or the Expanded. The estimated TAT on 2-day Mod is nullified by the other two. |

It is worth noting that submission size does seem to have an effect, with larger submissions taking longer than smaller ones.
