Just received my 17 books, submitted May 26th at Phoenix Fan Fusion. They show received July 5th, making the official TAT just over 19 weeks. A few disappointing grades (my Amazing Spider-Man #15 was super disappointing), but a few pleasant surprises as well.

I am unsure if I'll use the service again. 19 weeks (really 25) is excessive when they offer no restitution for a delay like this. Not looking for a refund...a discount...something. Half a year just might be beyond my tolerance to warrant repeat business. Hope you all get your books back soon.

Check your books! I only submitted 8 books and it took 25 weeks. 1 cracked case, 1 case has a chunk of paper encased on the cover, and a few cases are split on the sides.

Also, is it normal that ALL the cases look like someone took sand paper to the front? All the cases are scratched to hell.

@Paint_Monk I’m right here with you... it’s been long enough to hire and train people. They should have times improving by now.

I agree, if my books haven’t had any movement by the latest... mid December I’ll be moving. They moved in June... we shouldn’t even allow them to use that as an excuse, should be business as usual if they were running a good shop.

It’s also been long enough where they should be appropriately staffed to get TAT’s back in order.

Everyone knows the quality is great however this is our money, lots of money. We have the right to criticize a business which shows bad business practices.

I know it sounds harsh but I’m speaking for the majority here. It’s very frustrating having people ask me if I can submit books for them however I have to tell them it might be 5 months before they even hear anything. It’s not only sending a few hundred bucks out the door, it’s also sending a thousand worth of books out the door.

With great power comes responsibility

I love CBCS, I just wish I could help.

Join the club, my friend. Submitted at a convention in June and received on July 13. Still in processing and can't get through to customer service. Because of the expected delays (coupled with the recent move), I'm giving it until Christmas before I really raise angry concerns. If it's still in processing by Christmas, I'll be a lot less likely to ever use CBCS again.

I had expected a long wait, but this is getting stupid.

Not really a TAT thing, but if you like Crain Variants, this one is available today. Just FYI.

I have 2 questions? What books/signatures? And why didn't you research which company was which before you sent your books in? Curiosity killed the cat as they say

dang phones are still down only receiving automated messages and seeing a ton of people are getting them half a year after. This is pretty terrible..i doubt they even monitor this so its mainly a waste of time. Even PGX is looking a lot better at the moment!!!

Anyone have success with the new number yet? I just end up with the voicemail. With knowing the dashboard not being accurate I just really would like to know my status like everyone else.

I feel like its a community type program where we all say how long we been at this. Hi my name Stevguitar and I've been waiting since June 4th, my order # is 18-1E55772"

mine since early July, been supposedly in label room since Oct 3rd, was told they should have shipped in first week of November. And so I wait. If Santa shows up at my house he better be holding a CBCS box.

Can I get anyone or everyone's opinion on this? Are these worth it? My son wants one for his birthday, (actually I already got it) now I am just seeing if anyone else has. Limited to 1000 for the silver. Just wondering.

'Worth it' is hard to say. I wouldn't want one personally.

1 expanded
1 quickstream

No fast pass or anything like that. I even chose Fedex ground.

I think they were upgraded in tiers because of value though.
