| @TheComicDoJo When you get the tracking info, the grades/grader's notes will be available from your order page by clicking the little eye icon next to each book | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by mrelowe it will be interesting to see what my grades turn out as...there are 6 of my 10 books that I' not expecting any better than between 6 to 8 (all depends on the press/clean!) the other 4, fingers crossed, should be 9 and up?? |

| June 3, 2018 submission of a press n grade (Expanded) ... January 10, 2019 receive email that my submission is ready to be shipped. Will update once book arrives. Reading recent posts above, looks like CBCS is finally getting on its feet again. Very good for them, good for us, and good for the hobby.  |

| I..I...I...I think my books have been shipped!?? Got an e-mail from Fedex saying a package is enroute from Irving Texas?? Dashboard still says grading. Of course I'll be at work but a pickup location is just a few blocks from the office...doesn't seem like a phishing scam, I was able to change pickup location and it never asked for ID or banking info or nothin other than the original postal code!! |

| Down to one open invoice - an AW with pressing from SDCC. Lots of movement over the last week. Surprised by a few grades (good and not so good), but not in the questioning sense. Looking forward to getting one shipment delivered today, two on Tuesday, and another by the end of next week, I think. We'll see on the last one! It shows "received" right now, but at the pace things have been going, it may ship in the next week or so, ha ha. | ||

| My books just shipped today! A few books graded a little lower than I'd like (mostly thanks to color-breaking creases and wear) but these were graded more for the signatures. One book got flagged for an extra staple but I'm not sure how that could've happened since I remember buying it off the rack and have no recollection of adding a staple to it. hmmm Anyways, Now for the satisfying ritual of inputting all the info into CLZ. Hopefully next weekend I'll be scanning |

| For those that have been keeping an eye on my journey. Got the notice that my 1st order has shipped today. I’ve got one more that’s a month behind this one so that should hopefully finish up this time in February or quicker |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics after 4 days in grading (at least on my dashboard) my books have now moved to QC!!! Man - gonna have to remember how to fight with FedEx to waive the duty charges (pretty sure I can). I think my argument is something like - these are my books being returned to me, yes I paid for services in the US but those services did not increase the intrinsic value of my books they merely certified/verified what grade the books are... |

| @KatKomics that is great. Four days from Grading to Quality Control! Mine have not been scanned into grading yet. Keep us informed as to the rest of the process. | ||

| Just a little FYI. When my books have gone into grading they have sat there 2 to 3 weeks then Bang. They arrive and hit shipping on the same day. Go Figure. This has happened on the last 4 submission’s. Now granted they are using my FedEx account so maybe that has something to do with it. Anyway things are improving and I’m doing my happy dance. 🕺🏻   |

| So this morning at 10:30 my dashboard stated received and invoice was still pressing. I just checked and the dashboard says Grading!!! and the invoice says Labels. I am so excited to see some movement on my order!! Any idea how much longer before I should get an email about shipping? Days? Week? |

| @KatKomics I never get status updates in my email. I have checked my spam folder and found nothing. I searched my email for CBCS and found only votes for my posts but nothing about updates to my order. | ||

| The only update I get is when it ships. I get a tracking number. Now they do use my FedEx acc #. Sometimes the email comes on the same day it arrives but it has been a day before or the day after. I think they do that so you’re not calling them to argue about the grading because when it’s shipped the grade’s show up in your account. Good luck. |

Quote:Originally Posted by KatKomics I just had the same issue with fighting them on my last shipment. They only gave me a partial credit. I was told that CBCS needs to clearly state on the commercial invoice that these are "Canadian goods." If this is done instead of stating that they are the recipients goods I was told that there should be no charges. I have to send this note to the customer service team who basically blew me off when I mentioned I had been charged by FedEx. It wasn't Jake that I was dealing with this time as both of the previous times this happened when I contacted Jake he took care of it for me. |

| My odyssey is over. June 3, 2018 submission of a press n grade (Expanded) ... returned to me January 15, 2019. Seven and a half month TAT. I love the CBCS slab. Light, clear, no Newton rings. Once TATs normalize I will be back. |

Quote:Originally Posted by farseer just got the message that other charges may be due (delivery should be on 21st)...nice thing is that I can take delivery before paying for any customs/import fees....man that is a mistake on their part!!! I love me a fight!!! I used to deal with multiple levels of government audits, threats of fines etc. mean very little to me. |

| I have a press screen order (with fast press) that just hit billing because they're going to press it. CBCS received it the day after Christmas, so someone looked at my books after three weeks. Obviously the actual pressing will add on to that but seems to be moving pretty quickly. Although a separate order also with fast press and screen hasn't had anything happen yet. | ||

| My current order (6/11 receipt date) is in labels, so it will be here soon. I am a glutton for punishment. I just created another invoice. Packing and shipping this new batch today. This time, I have Modern, Consumer, and Expanded tiers, no pressing, and all are Fast Pass. I'll let you know how this order goes. Fingers crossed! |

| @mrelowe yup..me too....just trying to figure what to send in. Need to have a few books to sell to make $$ to buy other books or submit more books. Looks like Mister Miracle in just about any condition is going up, same with Forever People 1. I have 3 MM in the 7 to 8 range and 2 FP in the 8+? range as well as two Batman 357 in the 9.6/9.8 that I'm thinking of sending in maybe a few others...I add press now to everything though | ||
