Hopefully, they will be back-dated to the Wednesday after the Con and be treated as having been received on August 21. So it is currently taking over a month (not counting days lost to holidays and hurricanes) to log in received comics. Submissions that are received at conventions are backdated accordingly. We do this so you are not penalized for the backlog in receiving. I totally understand that some people get frustrated because we have a sizable delay but we have a lot of books that had delayed entry due to Irma. Right now our Customer Service department is working very hard to enter the books into the system and answer all of the inquiries. Those of you that have a receive date that is significantly past the convention date you submitted, we can make adjustments. just let us know. Thank you for your understanding.

	@spaulus @SteveRicketts My submission was delivered to CBCS the last week of August. No confirmation of receipt yet or update on my dashboard. I've sent emails and made calls to CBCS but still no resolution. Invoice# 17-300D374 Please give me some of your customer service love, I'm feeling neglected.

	I'm legitimately worried about the TATs with books because what if I move next year? How does that work once something is shipped via FedEx?

Your submission is in the queue to be put into the system. You should see it soon. It will be backdated to appropriate date so you will not be penalized. Thank you for your patience

They didn't have a reservation but were willing to pay an extra fee to be seated before me. Would this be right? Same thing is being offered to me and the other party. We will be seated. We will order food off the menu... eat then pay. There is no variation of service. Just the time frame in which you receive the service. Would this be right in everyones opinion? Change the scenario around. You have waited in line for many hours to get tickets for the new Star Wars movie. They are finally letting people in to the theatre and you are minutes away from handing over your ticket and going to find a seat. But wait. They stop the line and let a large group of people go in ahead of you. There now is no more room left in the theatre. In a rage you ask why people were allowed to go ahead of you. You're simply told that special tickets were purchased by other customers. They cost twice as much as a regular ticket but allow you to go right ahead of everyone without waiting. Again would this be what you want to see happen? People with no money issues basically get preferential treatment because they have the money to spend while many others just wait and are penalized because they live on a tight budget. Well i'm tired of people with money going ahead of me at the company that this board is about. I'm sorry that I don't have the money to spend but i'm tired of being considered less important because I have less money. That my friend is why i'm here in this discussion. Peace out. I guess you can complain to the theme parks too about the fast pass they offer to get you to the front of the line for rides and attractions. Stop being a cry baby and wait for your books.

	And yes its bull about people at theme parks being able to jump lines because they have more money than me. Another case where a group of people are penalized because of their lower income. And yet another case where someone hides behind the security of their keyboard. I have a passion for justice. Just like like football players during anthems. You don't have to agree with me. But don't come here after I post a heart inspired message and call me a crybaby unless you are ready to back it up.

	I wish I had a Tesla. I wish I had a mansion. I wish I ate lobster every day. I wish I had an Action #1. Oh, I don't have the money for all that. Guess I live with what I can afford. If you don't like current turn around times, and complain that you can't afford faster service, then don't get your books graded at all. I don't know how you want me to back up my statement.

	If you have never submitted comics for grading before, the best advice I can give you is to not think about them. Sounds crazy, but you may have heard sayings like a watched pot never boils. The more you think about it, the slower time seems to pass. Don't believe me? A half hour before quitting time start looking at your watch, your phone, or a clock every few minutes to check the time. That 30-minutes will last an eternity. (By contrast, do something you really enjoy, like fishing. Before you know it, 6 hours have vanished.) Also be aware that turn around times increase and decrease in cycles. Although it seems like there are dozens of conventions every weekend year round now, the majority of the really big ones are during the summer. So books submitted in July and August will have the longest waiting periods most years. I do submit at conventions because I balance off the extra wait time with the money I save on shipping and insuring those books ($30-40 or more to get them to CBCS). If you can wait and submit in January, February, or March, you will be amazed at how quickly you can get your books back. That's also when you get the most bang for your buck from using fast passes. I'll end with a stupid quote: "Shop smart, shop S-Mart."

Except what you describe as being "unfair" happens all the time. As I described earlier. Pay extra for VIP tickets at comic cons - and you are indeed put at the front of the lines for signatures. Pay extra Express boarding pass and you go to the front of the line for both TSA screening and getting aboard the plane. If you are really wealthy you fly private and don't have any wait at all. Disney offers a VIP package that includes being placed at the front of lines. Plenty of restaurants and clubs are exclusive and you only get in if you purchase an expensive membership. There are countless examples of "pay more, get it better or faster or both". Welcome to America and the capitalist system. People on a "tight budget" shouldn't be submitting comic books for grading in the first place IMHO.
