| Does anyone have an example of tat on a pre screen modern order? I have 2 orders one from Nov 2021 and Feb 2022 of 10 modern books pre screen that just say received. I hope CBCS gets it together because they grade slightly better and their case is substantially better but due to standard tat and the huge jump on express pricing I'm forced to go to CGC. | ||

| @tylerindo - First off, my avatar is pretty recognizable, so just scroll past it. Simple. Secondly, if there is a term that does not fit my posts, it's "whining". Perhaps some self-reflection is due on your part. People come to this thread for insight on TAT's and what they may or may not receive as far as notifications. I have not once complained about TAT's. Instead, I am providing detail on the movement and notifications so others can get an indication of what they might experience. Were I "whining" about such, I probably wouldn't be continuing to submit comics. |

| @Bobsaget you may get movement on the November order soon I think it could be a while for your other order. I think they are still working on the September and October 2021 orders. However, there are exceptions as I am hearing of order before and after those months that have gone into the grading stream or they are still sitting in limbo. It would be nice to have the TAT scene clearer because it's hard to know exactly what is being worked on when you are told that they are working on one month but are still hearing of unfulfilled orders from before that month or orders after getting into the grading stream. That being said, I do think that your November 2021 should see movement soon, maybe by the end of the month. |

Quote:Originally Posted by WalkinWillie @WalkinWillie - You are correct, that CBCS will take larger groups of orders and break them up so as not to gum up the works as much for other submitters. They gave me that heads up before I dumped the SDCC submission on them in 2019. It also looks to be the case for my June 2021 and July 2021 submissions as they have been sporadically completed (Still 1 June 2021 to go; not whining, as all have come back under the estimated TAT so far). Your single submission of 270 books is interesting. One of their middle mgmt people told me in 2019 that they like to keep submissions around 2-3 dozen, as they get a little more difficult to process when doing 50, 100, plus. That is part of why I break most of mine down to 30. Yours being 270 would probably also keep it in HeatSeal for longer than usual, but if yours had no Pressing, you probably did get broken up into sub-batches. If you did have some pressed, then you are ahead of the curve. |

| Just got 17 books back I gave to cbcs reps at local convention in September 2021. Started processing 16 Bronze Age snd 1 silver age books on November 16 2021. Not only did it take a year since I gave them for transport but most are graded a full grade or more less than the con rep thought they would be. At least my moon knight 1 is a 9.6. Lol Not happy in the least with any of the experience. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Scifinator There's always someone who has to complain. Anyone who has been in the forum for any amount of time knows you have as many (if not more) books in the system that anyone else here. And the information on movement is very helpful to let everyone see the time lines on your submissions as they move through the system so they can gage where their own books may be. Since the dash boards are so not updated timely as the should be, the only way to have any idea where a particular submission might me is by seeing what members share in this thread. And I am certain I speak for the majority that the info you provide is helpful and appreciated. Soooooooo....  |

Quote:Originally Posted by Oxbladder There does not seem to be any movement or desire to fix these TAT issues. With the lack of communication and the new "Pay more" tier they strategically implemented, why would they fix it? they are getting the best of both worlds. Our money for over a year without having to do anything and collecting extra on the new tier which they wouldn't have if they did fix the TAT issues. I have 49 books submitted(grading only) for almost a year without entering the grading floor. When I submitted, the TAT was way less then half of what they are now. Would have been nice to get the back log managed before implementing the "Pay more" tier but that has just added to this issue. We were never given options and people are extremely fed up. People on these boards saying "Welcome to the club" or "don't worry they will get to it when they are ready" and the best one, "No they are not lost". How can you not be fed up with this process. We in good faith paid for a service and have been absolutely forgotten. If we would have known that TAT were going to be over a year, do you think anyone would have submitted? I am not even going to mention the current pressing TAT or non existent customer service. OK Rant over! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Londonman454 Agreed. I have said elsewhere that I don't believe anything they say about TATs and other services unless it means more money they can charge. They have promised Magazine grading for how long now? They are grading September books but yet "newer" orders have been getting graded (rarely but it happens) while many other older orders are still sitting in limbo. However, new expensive tiers, oh those are going into effect right away and if you want to get your books back sooner then "just pay more" if you can they just don't seem to care. There's also no apparent rhyme or reason how to treat the backlog. Customer service has been going down the road to non-existence since just after my last submission in 2017 when their original in-house CS person moved on to greener pastures. |

| @Londonman454 I'm with you, brother! Not only do I have the same experience as you detail, but to add to it, when I finally got a year-old shipment back a couple weeks ago, one of the books that was 'graded' did not come back in the hard-plastic container! Was in what looks to me to be a sealed mylar sleeve and the certificate that would be at the top of the case was in a separate simple-plastic bag! As you know, I cannot get a human being to address this. Sent multiple emails and 3 phone messages. At least at CGC you can get to talk to a human. They may not have all the answers, but errors on their end (and I've had them) have always been handled relatively quickly. Guess it's time to go back to them.....Oy. | ||

| My comics are showing Certified! Yay. I did my usual monthly check a couple weeks ago and everything was still in grading so apparently I missed the switch of status. So basically 1 year. Just need to get them back now in their pretty slabs. No emails or other communication so not quite sure what's up. Just a list of grades (with notes). The grades and notes pretty much match my expectations - I had sent in 6 books from an expected 4 to a 9.6. The bottom two were graded .5 lower than I thought but c'est la vie. Edit: Well DaMN. I missed all the drama. Slabs arrived. See y'all next life. |

| @JustAThought Excellent! I got notification at the various stages, which I hadn't expected. Mine are just waiting to ship back to Canada. Not sure if I will get notification nor am I sure they got my email telling them which of the two addresses on file, both still current, that I wanted them to ship to. I have heard from fellow Canadians that many didn't get the shipping notice and the books just showed up one day so who knows what will happen lol. | ||

| Today my modern, grade-only, invoice is eleven months old & nine months in received status. I'll put a little candle on a cupcake in celebration of this milestone tonight. Probably a black cupcake. I don't think I'll light the candle though - that would imply that there's some light at the end of this tunnel and there just isn't. The only upside is that the books were for my PC. I can't imagine if they were part of my business plan/side hustle. |

| My Oct 22, 2021 has shipped back today. The October 24, 2021 order is still "Received" while my Dec 13, 2021 is in "Grading". I do believe that they are trying to get things under control but I'm still perplexed by orders being worked out of order. The one that shipped back today was in grading half the time of my previous but that could be attributed to the recent move of the business to the new address. | ||
