Processing isn't a status. Click on the order number and look for a gold box on the right side above your total. Mine currently shows received, and has since it was received March 26th.

I have hit my 24 week original stated Tat for a single book submitted April 5 in person at the office, in Florida. Meantime I am watching many other people get their books back because they did not have pressing done.
I guess its confusing to me because during the move we were told, that separating pressing from grading to another state would quicken press times dramatically. However, there it is..a book submitted 24 weeks ago that has not made it to pressing although original tat was 24 weeks....the estimated TAT did not shorten and is in fact going over the suggested quote.
For me this was an experiment to see if I might consider doing some of my more expensive books .....I guess I am at the point I lack the temperament to mail off books and wait more than half a year for results is all. I am sure others find that quite alrght but to me it seems....out of place

@Darkseid_of_town My April 6 CONSUMER submission, with nothing extra (no pressing, no VSP, etc.), has still not been sent back. My dashboard link still says "processed within 12 weeks."

@Darkseid_of_town my books had press but were authorized witnessed (June 1-3rd submitted at a convention - still at 'received' status).
Any books I have in the future that need a press will be going to 3rd party presser to cut the TAT time down - that way CBCS only has to grade them!
My other problem is I like submitting at conventions so same on shipping

Yup. I had 1 silver age book in the order and the additional charge is on that line item. It went from $30 to $58 for the Silver Surfer #6.
If the book’s value is high enough to warrant a higher tier then I guess it’s fine; I just want to ensure my order isn’t held up for it as I have no way of verifying accuracy of and paying the balance.


I'm in the exact same boat... I submitted books at a show on 2/24, books were received on 3/13. I was also having the books pressed.

My order still shows as "processing"... hasn't even moved into grading yet - unless I'm missing something. It's been almost 7 months, so I'm starting to get a little nervous that they lost my books.


I just checked my invoice today as I have been every day for the past couple weeks....and it’s in shipping! Yay!

My order submitted at SDCC has been officially received, including the book I hand-wrote in on my printed invoice at the last minute before submitting, so that’s good news

The end is near! Hopefully they are starting to catch up a bit and I won't have to wait another 3 months for my July submission.

@Comic_Playhouse “Processing” simply means the books have been officially received and are in CBCS’ possession. Books don’t leave Processing until CBCS has shipped the books out.

To see your books’ actual status you have to open the order and each tier will have a status like “received,” “Grading,” or “Shipping.” You may see other, more detailed statuses like “Labels” or “encapsulation” but that’s apparently a bug.

Anyways, people are reporting that their orders received in late April are being completed and returned (not true in all cases, unfortunately) so it’s to be expected that your order received in mid-June is still in processing. If they stay at this rate I’d expect your books to be done around November

Mine were submitted June 11 and I think that end of November will be the 24 week stated TAT.

Is it Beckett that is doing the VSP material? I am wondering if the delays there is Beckett’s fault. That’s what I am waiting on with my invoice.

Same here, I submitted 4 books for VSP on May 19th and it still says "Processing" / Received...with "processed within 13 weeks"...well it's been far more than 13 wks, what the hell?! This was my first and last CBCS submission.

Speak of the Diablo..

Within Two hours of this post, I got a "SHIPPING" post for this submission.

I still have a submission from Phoenix Comiccon of over 30 books which was submitted the weekend of May 24, "RECIEVED" 4th of JULY.. (whole month later, I guess this was the move holdup)

I sent the remaining balance last week, because I was very leary of sending a full payment since I have PRACTICALLY HEARD OF NO MOVEMENT on books.

That fits the TAT I've figured out through this thread of 20-24 weeks for con submissions without verification.

I'm not generally one to complain about TAT, but I submitted at MegaCon Orlando in mid-April. My books are still showing up as processing. I'm being patient (honestly, what other choice do I have?), but I'm starting to wonder if I'll get my books back before Christmas......

So....we will see where this will end up. I will keep you updated.


UPDATE: As of this morning, the status is still GRADING, but the Invoice says LABELS.

So....progress?


Well, my books have been in LABELS for 2 weeks now. And emails are now being auto-replied to, with no useful information. Don't refer customers to the TAT calculator, if you are not going to adjust it for your expected delays. That is just frustrating.
So the wait continues.

My books have been in Labels for 5 weeks. I was hoping to have them back by now. I kept emailing them. Everytime they gave me that copy and paste reply I would just copy my email and send them another one. One person told me last week that its waiting to be encapsulated and go through QC and that's where the bottleneck is. So I hope its soon.
