| know what would be nice... if they could use my personal FedEx account I don't know if it would help or not but every return I get I have to either call or send an e-mail to avoid or reverse charges to my account for import brokerage even though these are repair and return items so no brokerage or duties apply. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

Website has been updated again. "Pricing" now has its own tab. Now for them to add Magazines to the Pricing dropdown. |

| This is really perplexing to me…CBCS has once again updated the website grading and pricing sections with…the same information but a different look. WTF? Is changing the look of the same info every week a viable marketing tactic? I guess in fairness, i should mention they updated TAT’s also. But still. Here’s a tactic that might work…Rollout magazine services.  |

| So in retrospect, I think I can see the goal here… -Get the backlog addressed -Keep updating the website to convey pricing and service level changes/simplifications -Correct the TAT estimates on the website ?-#Soon as soon as the above reconciled, release the Krake…I mean Magazine encasements! |

Now if they can release those magazine slabs like @Scifinator mentioned. And possibly some new label options. Especially for Pedigree books would be nice. |

| To the double secret CBCS staffer(s) that peruse the forum, Label Options as @Nearmint97 mentioned…Great. BUT, I for one do not want the look of labels materially changed. Options are fine, but if you make changes, hope you throw in a Legacy option to the current label style. But guessing there wont be any changes soon on this front…hopefully. | ||

| I have a stupid question. I don’t remember exactly how it was before as don’t have books valued in the tens of thousands or millions. I noticed in the new pricing tiers are capped at a max value of $7k then step up to Premium with no max value for $200. CGC still offers Walkthrough with no max value at a 3% of FMV cost. On the CBCS form I entered AC 1 with an insured value of $1M and my grading cost was $200. Is this an error on CBCS pricing or are they short changing themselves to get super books in CBCS slabs? |

| @HulkSmash - I don’t believe it is an error. I believe it is a calculated effort by CBCS to grade an increased percentage of the higher value comics. And, if they take in too many or take too much of that business away from cgc, then either CBCS can increase the price and or cgc will lower theirs. | ||

just like the magazine slab announcements, it should be noted that no year was mentioned, just assumed.  🤣 |

| The have yet again updated the look of the now "Pricing & Turnaround Times" site/tab. At this point, I suspect that they might be posting different looks in order to elicit feedback on which might be easiest to comprehend or flows better. Direct Link to Pricing & Turnaround Times Page |

 I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie.

flanders private msg quote post Address this user | |
| It certainly looks more appealing. However, I still haven't forgotten the multiple times I've submitted with an expectation of a 6-12 week turnaround and waited 6 months or longer for my books. I'll definitely submit some magazines though when they come out. I hope the faster turnaround times in both pressing and grading don't result in a reduction in quality and accuracy, as it has at CGC. | ||

| I have a feeling that for the time being I'll be handing books off at conventions - all depends who is there CBCS or CGC It will also mean only 1 or 2 submissions a year |

Quote:Originally Posted by flanders Yea, my first submission had a stated 17 week turnaround that turned into 51 actual. Quite a let down. Then waited a long time for mags when they started talking about it and after a couple years finally just ended up sending the stack to CGC. They do good work, ultimately, so I hope they get a handle on things. Mostly at acknowledging customer calls/emails. |
