| I see a lot of folks (rightly) wondering what's up with their submissions. If you haven't already written to https://forum.cbcscomics.com/profile/Cody_Lockwood (you can copy and paste to the browser and it will take you to his profile and includes a "send message" button to PM him. I sent him a question and he (every time) has responded within a few hours. PM him with your order number. | ||

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

| I received an email this morning at just about 8:00am that my holiday VSP submission has been Graded and has moved to production for Encapsulation. A minute later I received another email stating my order has been completed and will be shipping shortly. Status on my account is Shipped so should be heading back, if not today, early in the week. I should receive an email with the tracking # shortly and I assume it takes a few days for them to hit my dashboard. In the past I would tell myself I would wait until they arrive but I generally give in and peek. So in all, 12 books, no pressing, all modern ones, arrived at CBCS on 12/27, they went into Received around the middle of January, went into Grading on 3/13 and completed/shipped on 3/28. Lastly, unsure if everyone had heard the news, but FedEx has included Sundays as a delivery day when it comes to FedEx Home Delivery service. Up until recently they only delivered Monday-Saturday but Sunday has been added, no special charge either. I remember my local driver telling me a few months ago that they would be adding it to one up over UPS. I would not be surprised if UPS follows and does the same thing. |

| Just another quick update. Another email from CBCS received with tracking number so good chance the package will go out today so I should have the package next week. I did give and check the grades, 11 out of 12 received a 9.8, one got a 9.6. I can live with that, no pressing on the books, I felt they were all strong 9.8 candidates, but getting anything over a 9.8 hasn't been in my cards, perhaps one day. Now if only CBCS can right their massive wrongs for past issues rather than hiding under a table, I can return to giving them more business. | ||

| I’m also wondering about the status of my order as it looks like it hasn’t moved since it arrived. However, I don’t wanna bug CBCS as I’m sure they have a decent back load to go through because this promotion was so awesome. I’ll give it a little bit more time before I start asking questions. | ||

I told Cody Lockwood (CBCS) that I was sicking board members on him when they had CBCS questions. He said he was glad to hear it and wanted to be helpful. PM him and he can help you. https://forum.cbcscomics.com/profile/Cody_Lockwood (you can copy and paste to the browser and it will take you to his profile and includes a "send message" button to PM him. |

Quote:Originally Posted by antoniofett So 1. I got no emails at all about the status of my order until yesterday and today. Yesterday it gave me an email that they had move to encapsulation, today I got an email saying that part of my order is ready to ship (first box has 20, I expect a second email for the remainder) 2. thanks to @drwatson, I saw that on my invoice it showed when it went to processing, then grading. (he has it broken down in one of his posts with screen shots, I think that whole thing should be pinned, its absolutely excellent) But it sat at processing for like the longest time. So while it didn't get any emails, behind the scenes, things were obviously in motion. 3. at the final moments, it flew through steps. On this forum, many, many have stated this to be the case. The main this for me is that the turn around time they stated was right within what was listed and as you see, I had a fair number of books and they still hit that mark on point. I had a couple questions and @cody_lockwood and @wade_story were both phenomenal. I can't say enough good things about this experience.

I tried very hard to not peek at my stuff, but I did happen to catch a few. that said, those books for me are ALL PC books, I don't really care about the grades on books for my PC, I'm just excited to get all those lovely yellow labels! |

| I remain at "ImagingSP" and contacted Cody last week. The standard running behind significantly, thus the delay. I guess I still can't say: "Hey, where's my books?"  |

| are there supposed to be pics of the slabs? I checked my brothers and I see the grading notes, but I dont see any pics, just the little question mark place placeholder. I checked with a different browser, this time there was no placeholder but still no pic | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

Quote:Originally Posted by GothamBridge There is a pinned thread "A newbie's guide" that was meant to fill the same purpose. Page 1 alone has a great wealth of information but it's from 5 years ago so some of it is out of date. Somewhat unfortunately, enough newbies asked questions that the thread is 20 pages long and kind of tough to go through completely at this point. It's faster to post a question than to read through the whole thing and see if the answer is in there somewhere. |
