Another way to look at GUI = Those types of software that have "point and click" functions on fields and/or "submit" buttons. *shrugs* It is sort of hard to explain without visuals... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface |

I have 2 books that were received by CBCS on December 13, 2017. I sent them for pressing and grading. (Invoice 17-3F22E57) Over 6 MONTHS later...still nothing and it just says “Received.” Absolutely ridiculous!! |

@HammitChris your order is pressed. It should be expedited through the rest of the process as soon as it hits the grading room. I would expect it to be within the next two weeks. | ||

I can get some answers with the limited things I can see in my portion of the system, but I can give you answers on pressing for sure. | ||

For 2 books and 6 months press & graded that seems a bit slow. | ||

Perhaps CBCS would be interested in hiring some help in the Pressing department to expedite service delays | ||

And they used to complain about my TAT's. Welcome to the world of high pressure pressing Steve. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by CFP_Comics I guess some people are complaining about the TATs, but I think it's more the disconnect between published/promised TATs and actual TATs. I have an order in from a spring convention that should be finished pressing this week or next, and that's fine with me, but the problem is that I don't think it will be moving on to grading next week. |

Honestly ? Lol Steve is doing the best he can right now he's only one guy until he can get some ppl trained up. If you blind send books in not expecting a 6-7 months turn around you should reaearch whats been going in since the storm pretty much , everything is behind , fast track 2 day whatever isn't what it says it is ... o and if we're allowed to advertise presseing options in the cbcs pressing thread lemme know ![]() |

If you pay for a specific service then you should be provided that service. Otherwise you are failing your customer and yourself. Plain and simple. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by gary_k But that’s just it, we are past the 25 week TAT estimate, and the 25 weeks should have been at the latest. Don’t lecture me about how I need to do research on a service before I purchase it when apparently you need to research customer service and how business competition works. When there is a mishap, you try to keep the customers’ business....not just be like “oh well, deal with it.” That’s not a good business strategy. |

Never said it was a good business strategy , just saying how it is , it's been the same story since last summer. It's why 99% of my clients choose the other guys now unless it's a yellow label sub or red label vsp . | ||

@SteveRicketts Hypothetical question as this comic has me wondering. It's a double cover, but being a Giant Size, the outer cover isn't attached by glue. How would CBCS treat this if subbed for a press/grade? And the two would still be pressed together, correct? ![]() |

They're graded and encapsulated like normal. Both covers can be pressed without a problem. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by SteveRicketts Thanks, Steve. I have two or three DC square-bound comics with double (unattached) covers and was also wondering if they would be graded and encapsulated the same as double covered books with staples. |

Perhaps this question has already been asked, is there a pressing TAT update? | ||
