| I also feel that its insane not to have taken advantage of this promotion, which is why I submitted about 30 books! | ||

| @GothamBridge Agreed. I feel like this was the motherload of CBCS deals. I sent in 32 books. March seems like a realistic time line to get them back. Who knows, maybe they will run it again someday. | ||

| @DrWatson I doubt it's a lengthy process. It's probably one guy that also fills in at other positions when needed, except for customer service of course. He's also the coffee maker, donut bringer, and floor mopper. |

| Yeah, how hard could it be? Everybody always thinks there's nothing to doing someone else's job. Just like the pressing department. Once a run of books goes into the presses, all they do is drink coffee, watch reruns of the Golden Girls, and talk about where they got their hair cut. |

| I received the “We are happy to… that your order has been received” email from CBCS today for the latest promo (according to USPS the package was delivered last Tuesday). I also checked the invoice on my Dashboard and it says Imaging SP, so I am assuming it went right into the signature verification line. Unfortunately, my prior order under a previous promo is still stuck in received (but it did already pass through the pancake line). Progress. | ||

Soooo...sign out equipment - have 2 guys and 1 manager drive for 3 hours to the site...have prescribed break.....do work for an hour or two....pack up and drive back for equipment lockup!!!! took more than a week for a day or two job - would have saved big $$ if they just paid for an overnight! |

| Does anyone know if by delivered they mean by the carrier or received into their system? I shipped off my 1st order of 28 books last week. I have a smaller second order that I was waiting on a couple of signed books to arrive. I Submitted the order by the 15th. I took a look at shipping and UPS says it will get there on the 30th exactly if shipped today... My main concern is if it's entered/arrived late. Would they notify me first to see if I want to proceed without the Free Authentication, return no work done or if they will do them and just modify the invoice to remove the promo without consent? |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics Yeah, it's a huge problem with corporation. Most of them have no since on how to count beans. And people wonder why things are so expensive. I mean, CBCS paid about 400.00 per hour while Ricketts finished the job up. lol...Come on Steve, we have a long drive back to the house... @cinnamon Glad your order made it in time... Welcome to the boards. Make sure to post some pics for us when you get your books back. @BlazingDragon Howdy, and welcome to you too... Your tracking should show if the books were delivered to CBCS. When they have been delivered, give it a week or so to show up on your dashboard as "received". Don't take any chances with shipping. Use Fed-Ex 2 day express. It costs a few dollars more, but the books will be delivered before the deadline ensuring your books will qualify for the promo. And please share some pics when they come back. Happy Holidays everyone. |

Quote:Originally Posted by antoniofett Like others have said, it was such a great promotion that I may have gone overboard with 31 books with 45 total signatures. My highlights include a 5x signed Lady Death Swimsuit Issue (that I wouldn't have really graded otherwise lol), a double signed and sketch remarqued Superman 75 by Jurgens & Breeding, and Spider-Man / Kingpin: To The Death signed by Stan Lee and John Romita Sr., among other great books signed by George Perez, Dave Cockrum, Jim Lee, Mark Brooks, Marv Wolfman, Len Wein, and many others.      |

| @capcitycomics: I understand, I’m in the same boat Just looked it up, and sure enough, my books arrived at CBCS today!! That was super quick, I had just shipped friday! Now, like an idiot, I am going to be checking my account everyday as if they are going to be working Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 🤣 |

| Yes, but they are closed again on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Plus, I would imagine that a few employees took vacation days between Christmas and New Year's as well. | ||
