@KatKomics Im probably going again to NFCC, like you said no big announcement that catches my eyes yet. Me and the wife go each year and now with our daughter we go, so its reason to do a family trip.

With pressing I'll agree you're probably a couple weeks behind me, however things didn't really get moving until I called and got through to a rep. Coincidence? maybe? probably.

Haven’t been able to reach CS over the phone, either (13 attempts over the last 10 days)

Delays, while frustrating, are understandable... not being able to reach anybody in CS or billing to get an update on the delay is unacceptable.

Keeping hope alive I get them by the end of the year, at least...

If I were to guess right, your comics will probably be graded next week or soon after. Mine were received the first week in July and I got them back today. They went into grading mid last week. My dashboard showed when they went into grading and then didn’t Update until they were shipped.you are almost there.

Yesterday I noticed that my 8 modern submissions have changed to Grading but my Rapid submission still says Received. Received by CBCS 7/11/18. So maybe by the end of the year (fingers and toes crossed).

I just hit week 10 and the invoice still sits at "Submitted" So, it seems that the extended lag is now spread to FastPass holders.


I just got my email from CBCS that my order is completed and ready to be shipped! So about 12 weeks for VSP/Fastpass


I just got my order!! *happy dance*

That was a issue that has been addressed, and hopefully you will not see any longer.

@Darryl_H This one confused me too. It sounds like it may be about two orders. At least I hope it is.

I'm sure it's the same, but has anyone noticed any difference in the accuracy of the grading with all the new hiring?

Finally, after 26 attempts I finally reached someone on the phone.
I was told my order received on 7/15 (no pressing or signature verification) would “probably” ship the first or second week of January...

Your submission was one month behind his. I would expect 3-4 more weeks unless you got pressing. Good Luck. We all feel your pain, but the books will come.

So my GF and I both sent in our items at SDCC 2018. On july 30 they were received by CBCS. They never updated my GF but she received her single submission(Batman 181)yesterday 12/13/18. That was nearly 8 weeks after the original window of 8-12 weeks, I have not received any of my submission, I submitted multiple comics and haven't had any notable progress made.I will be waiting for roughly 20 weeks by Christmas. Not please to say the least, I wish CBCS would be more responsible with their expected delays, when we submitted they said there MIGHT BE a 2-3 weeks delay, which was clearly just something to say that would keep us from going to the cgc booth, I feel insulted by the seemingly lackadaisical effort put through by CBCS staff on updating and being generally accurate. Probably would not recommend them to others but I will wait to see what they are able to produce before deciding.

I mailed CBCS books after the close of NYCC - Oct. 8th

No press, but I fast passed them to have them before the holidays.

They will arrive Tuesday - Dec. 18th.

The books I sent in for pressing FP and grading FP are still in received.

Yeah, I feel a lack of transparency regarding TAT.
The calculator still says 4-6 weeks, which is clearly not accurate.
The first time I was able to reach someone on the phone, about 3 weeks ago (which was 6 weeks after my initial 12 week estimate) I was told to expect them “mid December”
Now, mid December, I manage to reach another rep, and they tell me to expect them back the first or second week of January!
That will be 6 months after I submitted.
And who’s to say that I won’t be back on the phone with them then, just to find out it’s now going to be February.

I just don’t want to be strung along. I get that stuff happens, and I’d prefer to not have my books delayed... but if there is a delay, just be upfront and set the correct expectations.
Very disappointed in this experience...

Submitted 7 books at Raleigh Supercon July 29th that included 5 witnessed signature, and 2 signature verifications (Adam Hughes head sketches, then fully colored by Alison Sohn). After reading this thread, I'm re-evaluating my expectations past 5 months (end of 2018) and into 2019 some time. I'm now laughing that a limited series where i had #1 witnessed may actually be be completely finished by the time I get the #1 back. >:[

My Terrificon order that I dropped off on 7/18, is listed as grading this morning (and the invoice says labels). I haven’t seen an email yet (I haven’t checked my junk mail folder). This order was 15 BA, CA, and a few Moderns. No pressing or fast pass.

My order finally went into shipping today. How long does it usually take from them to actually ship? just curious. They have my email wrong so they wont be able to send me a shipping email. Also how do you find out the grades online? I have 5 books and the invoice says shipping but no grades were posted.

@DOconnell2323 - You will know when they have shipped, because that's when your order is removed from "Open Orders" and it goes into your "Order History." Once that happens, you can see the grades.
