| My two books were received too in February 2022 and have been stuck in processing since then. Just sent an email over to support (probably wont' hear back for a week or more) to see what's up with them or if they lost them. If they're loss, I lost $75. | ||

| Mine were sent in Mid-February, received early March and are still "Received", so I'm hoping that they're slowly finishing up February. Hard to believe it's been almost a year now. | ||

| Whoot, whoot! My Nov 2021 order is ready for pickup by MCS and has been confirmed it is on the cart for them! will be interesting to see what grades these get - might keep 2 or 3 and have MCS ship back to me?? But then what - do you keep a higher grade direct or a lower grade news stand or Canadian price variant??  |

| For those coming to this thread for actual information which may give you an idea of Grade only and Press & Grade TATs, with a couple of VSP thrown in, below is a detail of my 32 Non-Express Tier submissions from June 2021 through August of 2022. For those who have been wondering about Grade Only MD submissions from 1st Qtr 2022, this morning, I received an "In Grading" email, in Bold below. CR = Comic ReHolder EX = Expanded (now Vintage) CN = Consumer (now Vintage Plus) MD = Modern NW = New VN = Vintage VT = Vintage Plus PM = Premium Some quick factoids on mid-2021 submissions: 33 Separate submissions - 28 Press & Grade Submissions - 1 VSP, Press & Grade Submission - 4 Grade only Submissions The longest TAT of my grade only was <51 wks or 244 Business days. The longest TAT for combined Press & Grade was only 71 1/2 wks or 343 Business days. The Shortest TAT for combined Press & Grade was 44 wks or 213 Busisness days. The funny thing is, that both the longest and shortest TATs came from submissions that were delivered to CBCS on the same day on June 8th. [/b] Delivered to CBCS on June 8th 2021 in two separate boxes.

| @Scifinator yikes!! alot of info I didn't keep track of the different stages but my order from Nov 2021 read now means roughly 13 or 14 months - with pressing though - one would hope that is on a downward trend? |

| I would say the trend is definitely on the downward slide for pressing and non-modern / new grade only tiers. Ricketts mentioned that they are well into February Press submissions and my vintage, vintage plus and premium tiers stuff that was not mixed with modern has beef flying thru in a few weeks to few months. Further, I would say the CBCS stated Grading times on the Turnaround Time link on the main page appear accurate considering a 5 business day calc. The stated Pressing times still appear to be egregiously inflated as none of my press submissions from 2021 and 2022 were anywhere near that long. |

But why have a major marketing criteria unchanged and set so high and it's like "meh--- we'll get to it when we get to it?" I just don't get it. And I never will. |

| My Feb order now in grading? although I never got the notice they went to pressing. this order may have taken longer as it was for Gerry Conway signing - so maybe pressing is past Feb? My last order was 13 or 14 months to complete - we'll see how long grading is - for now this order is at about 11 months |

| If it helps others gauge where CBCS is at, my March 26, 2022 orders have been graded and returned. However, my March 23, 2022 is still in received. How they handle dated submissions is a head scratcher but I still feel like the grades are the most accurate and their slabs are in my opinion the best out there. Mine is for my personal collection so I'm fine with TAT even though I hope they get it reduced. | ||

| Remember that CBCS has multiple internal grading queues for the different tiers, each with forks and branches for things like signature verification, grade or press screening, and pressing. It's not one giant line. It all must make sense to them internally, but without accurate turn times reflected on the website the rest of us are left wondering WTF? |

| I was wondering. When I sent 5 comic books in July 5 2022 it said a 90 day turnaround time I believe. I look at the turn around times today and it says like 250 business day turn around. I wonder if I will get them back before July 5 2023. Now I am thinking of sending in five more books in February but I am double thinking about it because will I have to wait till February 2024 till they come back to me. I am sure there are people who have waiting longer than a year to get their comics back | ||

| im still waiting. the email i got 2 weeks ago said "grading" but still "processing" status. i ask Jesse if he learned anything (he said he'd check when I asked about the email I got), no response. I get he is a busy man. at this rate I wont be surprised if my june 2022 submissions are done before the dec 2021 | ||

| @power_struggle55 Processing is not a status. Your submission will be in Processing the whole time CBCS has your books....from Received to Shipped and everything in between. | ||

| I suspect that TATs will soon decrease notably if they haven't already for brand new submissions. The Covid years of making disgusting amounts of money from graded anything book; and continually flooding the companies with drek subs from every Tom, Dick and Jane are over. The backlog from those years is still presumably large though. We have to weather this tail end of the drek deluge storm. Just my humble, uninformed, non-data based guess. |

| Update on my status - I'm the one that had 2,443 modern pre-screen books over several overs that asked CBCS to return my books back in September of 2022. Well they didn't do that but now they are processing my orders at breakneck speed (for them anyway) and out of order. Usually my submissions are around six weeks apart but now I am getting two of them shipped this week. The big concern for me is on the last three orders CBCS has shipped, the reject rate is uncommonly high. Usually I get around a 15% to 20% reject rate but the last four orders have been 24%, 43%, 39% and 30% This is upsetting as I am sending the same quality books that I always do and that have had much lower reject rates for books I have been submitting since 2014. What are the reasons for the high reject rates? Some potential reasons are: 1. CBCS is rushing through orders. 2. CBCS has changed their grading criteria 3. New graders are overly strict 4. They are tired of me even though I rarely contact them and didn't raise a ruckus over their ignoring my request to return my books. 5. Something I am forgetting - looking for input here from our noble cadre of posters. I think #1 above is the main culprit for my high reject rates but who knows? I've received or am going to receive six orders in an 8 week period stretching back to the first of December. That is a cash flow crunch for me but still holding up. Storage room is one of the big deals here. There is no order to what they are processing. The order I will receive this week was the very last one I submitted from my backlog back on 6/19/2022. The one I will be getting at the beginning of next week is from 4/1/2022. I still have one from 3/4/2022 that is still "Received". I have three more orders from May and June 2022 which are still "Received". Regardless, after I receive next week's shipment, I will be down to only 586 books left for CBCS to process. The last complaint I have is either with their case or the way they are handling books once graded. I have to polish scuffs or remove scratches for about one in every six to seven books. That is a pain. I have a stack of books where I couldn't get the scuffs/scratches out - and I use various polishing compounds, etc. - that I will have to submit for re-holders. I don't have this problem with the other grading outfit. Like nearly everyone on here, I wasn't happy with the TATs but now I am unhappy with the quality of CBCS' work. |

And lately it's been in the inside of the case which is infuriating. It's one thing to be able to fix the incoming raw material inspection incompetence from these 2 companies when it's on the outside; but it's totally another case when the scuffs are in the inside.  |
