book was marked as received by CBCS at 3:12 central time. I imagine there is a pile of books so a full day makes sense. When I filed, the tracker said a 6 day processing time to verify the sig and turn it around. Time starts now! |

So today is Wednesday meaning it has been two full business days (of the 6) since the book arrived. It has not yet been moved out of “received.” I’m not sure if the VSP has its own status that would currently be occupying that slot. Thanks! |

Thanks! I'll be using this thread to determine if I send in 10 VSP books via 2-day modern or just wait. | ||

@Catalyst_Comics they added 6 days for the VSP. Thank you! So update I suppose. I emailed cbcs to check as I am leaving home for a week or two on a work trip and noted my books were still in receiving, leaving me to wonder if they’d made it through the system. First of all, Greg from customer service is excellent. He noted that graders are working weekends to get back on track. I think if the book shopped at the end of next week (10 total business days and 2 weekend days), I’d be really happy |

So interesting story: I saw that the invoice offers the most accurate indication of where books are in the process. I checked my invoice and it still says “submitted” I checked a fast pass order that I submitted two weeks prior and it was already on “labels.” I am going to follow up with customer service late this week |

2 Day is only 2 Day if you just 2 Day and even then it's not guranteed. The minute you VSP you add a week if not two as the OP has been kind enough to document for everyone. The second you add pressing you tack on 6 months at current TATs it seems. I typically do fast pass and I make sure I do fast pass for both grading and pressing. If some books dont need pressing I create a separate invoice to get books back quicker. Did this at Terrificon but the young guy I dealt with seemed confused and overwhelmed so I'm sure I'll get all my books 6 months from now.....should have waited on Tim |

Quote:Originally Posted by atrembley That means they are taking a picture of your comic. If you did not request that service, it means that they will use the image in their Featured Comic section (and you will be able to see the image with the grader’s notes). And if you did not request it, it also means that the book probably got a high grade. |

@esaravo awesome! I did not request one. But it’s the best comic in my collection. It’s my favorite comic with a sketch cover done by my favorite artist | ||

Total time from requested to returned is 27 days (aug 15- sep 11). Less 2 days of shipping out and 5 days of return shipping makes it 20 Two days of sitting prior to receipt makes it 18 days at CBCS. Subtract weekends puts it just about 14 days in shop. Really happy with it. Good experience all around. |
