I just got back my two books that arrived June 4th. I shipped them to Texas initially and they got checked in on the 18th and back dated to the 4th. I only had 1 modern and 1 consumer fast pass books. No pressing, no signatures.
I just shipped 3 more modern fast pass books this morning. I think they are catching up or on the verge of being caught up. I will still use CBCS. No issues on my end. I have even emailed their customer service concerning a book that was shipped to me right before the move to where it is still in "Shipping" status to let them know it can be moved to completed as I had it in hand since mid June. They respond within 24 hours.
Maybe its the tactic. I don't start off with telling them how awful and terrible and can't believe they are sucking oxygen and I am going to sue them. I have always been nice/professional and they have returned the favor to me.
Maybe its also different if I shipped in 100 books and got the other services like pressing attached as well.
Maybe I am really lucky and someone happened to set my books on top of a pile instead of going into the longer queue.
Not sure where I am going with this long of a post other than, I am sure the books are coming. I think CBCS is doing great or else I wouldn't keep sending my books to them.

When a service you paid out for is sitting at 21 weeks and you watch orders that are in the same tier level get shipped before yours that where submitted 10 or more days after people have every right to be beyond pissed there is no reason a March 22nd order should have been completed and shipped before a 12th order

The order of the different levels is as follows:

Submitted
Billing (your order can change to this status at any time if your order isn't paid when received)
Received
Grading
Labels
QC
Shipping (this is when you will typically get a "Order Completed" email)
Completed (this is the final stage after books have shipped; this is when you will typically receive an email saying your order has shipped with the tracking number. This is when you have access to grades)

Its possible that orders can be marked Labels/QC/Shipping all in the same day so you won't necessarily see every one of the levels per se.

Mine says "processing" basically after weeks. Where does that fall in the steps

"Processing" is what you should see on your main "Dashboard" or "Order History" screen; this is generic and it will pretty much say this until the order is completed. To see the actual status, click into the order and there will be 2 orange boxes...the orange box on the right side is the actual status.

The reason these are different is because you can have multiple tiers on the same order and each tier can have a different status

Also why does my invoice say that I have a balance, You can clearly see we paid in full. And the dashboard says this clearly. I hope this doesn’t have something to do with it.

At this point, I think the quickest fix would be to remove the "Processing" status from the invoice. It seems to cause GREAT confusion where people don't understand that you actually have to click the invoice to see the current status. If the "Processing" status was removed, maybe people would actually click the freaking invoice to further investigate and see the actual status. All of these posts with people up in arms about "my invoice is still in processing" is getting old.

I also have an order from March. Would have been nice to at least get an email about delay. And what is with the website still saying it may take a few days to be up and running?

Apparently, my order that I submitted at the beginning of April is done grading and sitting, just waiting to be shipped. I spoke to Greg and he told me it was done last week and should be shipped either today or tomorrow.

This is the frustrating part of it all. If you have books waiting to be shipped, why not ship them? What good does it do to have a ton of books just laying around? I have tried calling, emailing and using this forum but to no avail. Either they are that disorganized or they don't care enough to ship books. Either way it is very disheartening.

My TAT guesstimate:





I always plan for the worst-case scenario. If it goes that far, at least I expected it. If it comes in better than that, I'm always pleasantly surprised.
