| @semperfi_ny if I understand your question it might be the screening option like hey if this booknisnt at least a 9.4 don't grade and slab it.. but I kinda need to know where you got the info from | ||

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

| @semperfi_ny if you got an email or something saying that your order's status is "pre-grade", it just means it's waiting through the TAT to be graded. | ||

| @Kasperb991 sorry I was super vague...I got an email response today from an email I sent 2 weeks ago. They said my order from 09/21 and 10/21 are in "pregrade". 2 orders, 5 comics each...economy. No rush, no press, just grade them and get them back to me. | ||

| One thing CGC has going for them is that they have a near-zero delay post Grading. All of my CGC orders have been in my hands within two weeks of hitting G/E/I. CBCS has a long way to go in this regard, but it does seem to slowly be getting better. |

| So I sent in a submission on 7/21/2021 and they gave me a note that they received it 9/24/2021 I still have not received my submission but they sent an e-mail that they are done and awaiting shipment 9 days ago WTF. I called and e-mailed to no avail. This is the absolute worst. The last time this happened they said I didn't pay but I did and they didn't notice. I have no issues like this with my CGC submissions. | ||

| So I decided to send an inquiry to customer support regarding my order and this was the swift response: Vissik (CBCSComics) 17 Jun 2022, 6:51 pm IST Hello! It shows processing on your end sometimes when the system misinterprets us adding a step or note, the best way to get a detailed update is to reach out! That being said, at this point January is a realistic outlook for this order. I know that isn't appealing and is a massive increase on what you originally told but due to staffing issues and expansion we've fallen behind. Oh well... Guess the 224 day TAT is accurate, even for submissions prior to the restructure. Would have been nice to know when I submitted though. |

Quote:Originally Posted by The_IronJedi I would argue the "best way to get a detailed update" would be to fix the dashboard so it actually gives us accurate information! It's funny how the argument used to be that CS was so bad because they were diverting resources on processing books. Now they seem to be improving CS (at least in response time) but the source of what's likely most of their CS issues goes ignored. I'd rather CS went back to being terrible if they diverted resources to fixing the dashboard. I wouldn't hold your breath on 224 days either. With their new way of doing business they have full discretion to change that to an even more absurd number at any time during the process in order to accommodate the Express tiers. |

| About 2 months to get them back once they change to "shipping to Canada". You will get tracking info about a week or less depending where you live before they arrive. Grades, well after my books arrived I had to message Jesse_O on the forums to get my grades to show up. Jesse_O's the bestest! | ||

@Tyler you won't get tracking, they will just show up in around 2 months, I never got any tracking. It's like xmas if you had no idea when xmas is. You will have to reach out to get them to put your grades in to your account. Because Canada is hard  |

| Alright, I'm not normally a chad or karem type. But it has now been a year since I dropped a load of cash at Summercon2021. I went by their booths to ask what the deal was and that I'd like to talk to human as I've emailed the customer service line an callws in. He sad they were private contractors an ha trouble of getting ahold of a human and a bunch from Summercon2021 have not been returned. I pointed out the stuff I got a month later at Aftersummeroon 2021 came like 2 months ago. They said yes this a known issue, but could not put me in touch with a person to speak to. So, I showed them the stack of comics I was going to do and said nope CGC doesn't do me like this. I am telling all of my collector budies to not use CBC an will continue to do so until I speach to a human about this mess. Jason Andrew jasonbandrew@gmail.com |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tyler No Fedex charges when shipping through the Canadian office. If you choose for your next submission to ship directly to CBCS in the US and cut 2 months off the wait time in each direction (4 months total) it will only cost you a Fedex fee of $20. Well worth it imo. |

| It seems every week I get a new email from CBCS begging me to send in more books for grading. Well, I sent 10 books, along with almost $800, and they got them on Nov. 5, 2021. One of them was the 1st app. of Gor the God Butcher. Once that movie comes out in about 2 weeks, the book will hit its peak and die on the vine. If the turnaround times they had listed on the site when I mailed them were not lies I would have had them back by now. Instead I'm watching my books lose all value while they beg for more books. F*%K THAT!! I'll give my books to CGC or one of the b-tier graders before I send another book to a company that continuously lies (and ignores) its loyal customers. I mean, why even post TATs if they don't mean sh*t? The funny thing is they took the $800 from my bank account RIGHT AWAY...so all I'm getting for my money is very expensive storage and diminished returns on my investments. Thanks, for nothing, CBCS. |

Quote:Originally Posted by FuneralBill5150 You twist my words to suit your purpose in your anger. The very vintage books I was referring to, that took so long post grading, STILL came back to me faster than the books I sent to CGC at exactly the same time. In fact, the CGC books are still not in hand after 9.5 months. And I'm sorry you didn't educate yourself to the fact that the way to avoid "the great loan" is to simply specify a minimum grade criteria that you will accept for each book such that they can't know what to charge you until the books actually reach grading. This "per book" service is one that CGC doesn't even provide. |

Quote:Originally Posted by JasonAndrew Jason, there are others here who also are waiting on books that were dropped off at SummerCon 2021 so don't think you are the only one. Mine were standard pressing/grading, the dashboard has gone from Received to Pressing to Grading only to now show Received again. Also the guys at the booth this year are indeed private contractors, so what they told you is accurate and at the end of the day are collectors but they represent CBCS at the show and process books, package them to get their to Dallas, etc. |

Here are my current orders and some past orders Almost a calendar year since 21-25581A7 left my house and it's been in ship to Canada for almost 5 weeks. For 21-4254B7A and 21-4257997 I wanted to do a test. I submitted a order directly to the US and one directly to Canada to see the difference between the two options, look at the received confirmation date. It shows the delay if you ship to Oakville. So onward we wait. |
