| Probably time for another e-mail to CBCS "customer service" - it's been just over 2 months since they said that 2 of my pickup orders were marked wrong and that they were now corrected as pickup by MCS I have another order marked as ship to Canada that can't possibly be right since it had pressing - so it should be with CBCS for close to a year Plus side I'm sending more books in that will be for sale eventually (when Wolvie pops back up Mouse town)...but to the other guys - since it will be cheaper and potentially faster, maybe even some magazines - done waiting for #SOON, crazy TATs, non-existent "customer service" - the other guys may have an inferior product but they at least seem to know how to run their business - won't find contradictory pricing or TAT info if you look in different places on their site...or hey!!! they shutdown the CBCS Canada Oakville location with no e-mail to people with existing orders or any other type of announcement like on the home page etc. etc. - just quietly went away - scared to see what the on-line form is like for the Canada option |

| 30 book grade only submission, shipped on Sept, 7th 2021. Delivered to CBCS on Sept. 10th 2021. Shipped back to me on 7.14.22 and delivered to me today 7.17.22. So just over 10 months from departure to return. I will be opening them up shortly and post a few pics in another thread. So there is hope that my February Submission can make it back before Christmas???  |

| Just received an email that my order (no press, straight grade Modern & Expanded) from mid-Sept 2021 will be in grading "shortly". Invoice status and dashboard have not changed but hanging on a prayer. It was a small order (just 5 books) to test CBCS ("the other guys"  first hand, at the suggestion of my wife and daughter before sending the 600+ I had lined up for grading.tl;dr A test was prudent: 17 weeks != 40+ weeks and counting. These were mostly books I had no plan to sell so the price was OK. A couple of the books were bought as 2021 Birthday and Christmas presents for my daughter so a 17 week TAT was going to be an issue, but if they arrived in early January, no problem. So a small 5 book order would be prudent, right? After the TAT grew to 22 and then 27 and then ... I DM'd Steve and asked if there was a way I could pay extra and fast track the books because getting them in March was too late and I'd need to come up with new Bday/Christmas presents. After some time he told me the books would make it by Christmas unless there was some unforeseen problem. I think you can fill in the rest. I passed the CBCS table a couple times (no lines, no wait...) this weekend at Houston Compicpalooza. I had deja vous thinking how convenient it would be to submit any of the dozen books I had on my person -another small test to see, first hand, if things are any better. Then I reeled in pain as my daughter kicked me in the shin...the thought left as quickly as it arrived. |

| Next bday, there's the option of 14 day TAT for the low low low price of $60 - $80. So you can get her that great gift, but skip the cake, card, candles, and anything else you had planned |

| I thought I would track my experience with the "express plus" tier here. I recently got a signed crow #1 so I decided to splurge and get it graded and back to me as quickly as possible. It is 1 book only, with signature verification, no press, express plus tier. Book was delivered 7/18/22- the estimated time with verification was given as 3 weeks  Sooo...we shall see |

Quote:Originally Posted by Enelson My Express orders have all been processed and returned in a very timely manner, i.e. within two weeks clock time or 10 business days. Never done one with signature verification though, I bet that's why it's listed as three weeks. Nice book to test it with that's for sure! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Nuffsaid111 Yeah...no :/ And also not going to do that with the other 600+ since they are just in my collection...at this point, I might just keep them wrapped/boxed for another couple decades and then sell them un-graded. Re-considering the other, other guys though. I did just get another email that the books are on the grading table. |

| I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter how much we complain, CBCS is not monitoring this thread and if they are, they have nothing to add. I'm extremely disappointed as I've been a proponent of theirs for the last several years. But they had the opportunity to rise the perceived level of the other company that begins with "C". My first submission was on Sept 17, 2021  On May 16, 2022, I received the email that the order had finally entered the grading room.  The Dashboard has not been updated and there has been no forward momentum since. I'm not a reseller but these are my person books! I would just like to see at least one of by five submission begin to see the end of the process, after all they have already taken my money. I could use the other company but their grades are not consistent as of late. So the choice is Quality & Lengthy TATs or faster TATs and questionable grades. |

| Update- Dashboard updated with Received- so this was entered into system within 24hrs on the express tier  So far, way ahead of my last submissions....obviously not economical on a giant order, but so far so good |

Quote:Originally Posted by PressMeComics Right, nothing to add. We already know the full process to get through grading is in the 9-12 months range. Your order hit the grading room at month 8. Until it ships, I think you'll only get one additional e-mail that will say something like "hit the production floor and will be shipping soon". Otherwise, you have to go into the order on the dashboard and click on where it says "invoice". This will download your invoice and I'd guess yours will say either "labels" or "heatseal". |

| Interestingly, the Dashboard and Invoice show the same status, "Grading", on my order. I find that a step in the right direction. | ||

| Good news (for me anyway)! On July 14 I recieved an email indicating my June 2021 order had moved to grading. I just checked my invoice and it now says HeatSeal. Woot woot! I figured it would take until next year to get through grading if they'd just arrived there. (Eight books - 4 vintage, 4 modern. All with Press Screening.) I am guessing HeatSeal is the last step before shipping??? |

| Good to know about the Invoice to see the status. The order is showing "Grading" but my next submissions shows "ImagingSP", whatever that is. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Caffeine_Kid Not sure where "Heat Seal" and "Labels" fit in relation to each other, but after that comes "Production", then "Shipping". I think "Heat Seal" is the inner well, where as "Production" is the hard plastic shell that doesn't get Newton Rings. When you get the e-mail that says "Production" there's generally only a week or so left. |
