| Handed my comics over on Oct.8th at the NYCC - and not even moved passed processing. Emailed in zmay, was told by August and still in processing. Has anyone gotten their books back in less than a year? |

| My books were received in June 2021 and they were all shipped out this week. Should receive them next week. My order was normal, no express services or anything like that. Hope this helps. | ||

| How fast your books move depends on what tier you sent them in and whether or not they are being pressed. Check website TATs and keep in mind that they moved to a new facility and during that move everything was put on hold for a few days. | ||

| They've had my books since early September and I'm still waiting(no press,just grade). When you check your order number do you click the print invoice tab? Mine says processing also, but when I click the invoice tab it says "heat seal" | ||

| Times are horrible at CBCS atm. Put in an order in December 2021 and nothing has moved. Sent in a modern to cgc in may and it was back before 2 month period. | ||

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

Quote:Originally Posted by JKfighter I have gotten all of my books from August of last year with one exception. One of my invoices included books that had been misplaced and processed about 45 days after the others. Those books are now in the grading room. |

| I sent 9 books for signature verification and grading in August 2021. The website said received Sept 6th. They just sent them to me yesterday. @SpiderTim I'm glad you got your CGC submission back that fast. I personally won't use them anymore. I feel their cases are inferior and I hate newton rings. I just received my last order from them last week. I wanted my Last Ronin #1 Albedo homage signed and Remarqued. It came to me cracked with horrible small dots all over the cover and back. Their customer support said they're newton rings. I now have to box it back up, hope it doesn't get damaged anymore and wait for it to come back. I sent it to them in January. I waited over 6 months to get it back. Now I have to wait longer. I was told that they will give it priority equivalent to Express (10 working days). I'll pay less, wait longer and get a superior product from CBCS! |

Quote:Originally Posted by Belarak Dude! I had to send back over one half of a submission back to CGC with little spots all over the capsules - some on both front and back - and it looked like water spots only you can't get them off. Is that what was on your book? They are NOT Newton rings! I don't know what they are, but I have two more books I'll be sending back due to those little dots. They look terrible! |

| @Byrdibyrd Yes They look like water spots on the inside of the case. When their customer service said newton rings I didn't agree but, she did say, they won't be there when I get it back. Hopefully that's true. She told when the case was cracked, air got into the case and that's what caused them. I have seen newton rings, these didn't look like them. | ||

Byrdibyrd private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Belarak That sounds like what I have on some of my cases - maybe even as much as half. They are clearly NOT Newton rings! Newton rings are obvious with the rainbow colours and looking like there's a possible oily contaminant inside. I've worked in manufacturing before, and these spots look like what happens when you use too much cleaning agent to clean off components and it leaves little droplets behind. I don't know if they have a procedure like that, but that's what the spots remind me of. |

| I have books as well from NYCC in the queue. (Oct 21). In that 10 month period I've seen "received" as the one and only status that still exists today (no press; no vsp, modern std) |

| While I'm not at all happy with certain things happening at cgc, I have to agree. I'm not going to wait a year+ to get books back when I can get them back within a few months for basically the same price. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by beastboy1980 The bolded word negates how this sentence begins. You can't believe "to each their own" and then indicate that anyone who doesn't believe as you do is wrong. The product you're paying for is an accurate grade on a comic sealed in a protective case. My experience has been CBCS has a better case. CBCS has more accurate grading. If it takes me longer to get a superior product for which I'm actually paying, then I'm OK with that. Multiple people across this forum have repeatedly told you the same thing. If you're still incapable of understanding this position (whether you agree with it or not) by continuing to repeat yourself, that's just willful ignorance.

| @etapi65 I'm not really looking to sell, more so I downsized some of my collection through trades and got keys that I'll be getting signed this October and witnessed for grading. I do like cbcs cases, and if it was a matter of a couple more months than the competitor, I'd go for it. But at this point it's looking more like a year+ or 2-3 months. And with price changes and cgcs membership credit incentive where they gave a credit of 150 for buying the 100 membership...it just makes sense. Cbcs isn't really even cheaper anymore. |

| I find myself constantly considering which of the two is a better option because both are kinda awful for a myriad of reasons right now. I am not choosing between which is better & provides better value for two well run machines. That is a real unfortunate place to be as a customer. |

Quote:Originally Posted by etapi65 listen i get your stance on cbcs. and whether you believe this or not grading is subjective. so to even say who grades better is a mute point. i am not being ignorance i am just replying back like you always do and funny you never see me troll your remarks all i am saying is on a monthly basis and weekly basis i am shocked how the NEEDLE HAS NOT MOVED in a direction that has reduced the TATS for cbcs. so you can yell and scream which is fine to me but explain this to me how is it possible that cgc updates there turn around times and cbcs never moves the needle once. always the same exact days |

Quote:Originally Posted by Sebastsk8 exactly this is a business . i dont care what anyone says in this forums its all a business. less people would complain to cbcs if membership was free and not paid for. people would not complain if they updated there site on a accurate basis i dont have a problem with cbcs turn around times if they want to get paid for orders then they should charge us when the order is done not right away and we all wait over a year to get it back hopefully |

Quote:Originally Posted by beastboy1980 Since when is CBCS require you to pay for a membership? I paid for the membership over a year ago because we got two 2-day and 3 fast pass along with a 10% discount. They don't offer that anymore so I let my PAID subscription lapse. I don't have to pay anything to submit books. If it was economically feasible to pay for the 10% discount I would, but I don't submit enough books for it to pay for itself. Look I get you don't like the turn around times. Either pay for the GUARANTEED TAT or send them to CGC. |

| I'm not happy with TATs either, but each company has issues to overcome and it's a matter of what's important to the customer when choosing which service to use. I'll deal with rubbish TATs in return for a superior product (better case, more consistent grading). Plus, CGC has made a blatant display of a lack of integrity (Acetate Gate) and I'm not going to reward them for that by giving them my business and my money. Would I like better TATs? I would love that! However, that's not more important to me than accurately graded comics encapsulated in the best case available. | ||
