So my books came in and picked up, one problem with one of them. Submitted Spawn 301 virgin cover with printing errors, but on blue label it doesn't state the printing error (photo of book before submitting). Not impressed with this |

| @BronzeAgeBaby If your dash says processing then your books are there and in the system. Your dash will not change until all the work has been done. My books for VSP with press and clean were there for some 24 weeks and my dash stayed in processing until the day they were finished and ready for shipping | ||

 To answer your question, no, this is not where the comics go to die.

| My very first submission to CBCS and for the holiday promo were received 12/26, billed 1/10, and now says processing / grading. I'm guessing they should be shipping soon since it was supposed to be a 4 week tat? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by BSeldin305 The last time I heard, it was 27 weeks from received. You can't go by submission date, when they're being pressed there can be a LONG wait until it's checked in as received. So, if you submitted on 7/13/2019 likely your received date is around 2 weeks later, but on a weekday, so lets say July 31st (wednesdays they come up regularly). That would put you at next week for the 27 week timeline. This is just an estimate from feedback by people who submitted in early Summer. Who knows with the increase during con season through September if it slowed down or not. Pressing is realllllly slow. Edit: actually someone like 3 posts up did pressing and it was at 24 weeks for their press, they didn't mention VSP or a timeline for when they submitted. This seems like the right range 24-32 weeks is my estimate of ranges. |

 Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

Quote:Originally Posted by Ironwill75 Yes. More so if you sent in for press. But, if you did not send in for press, just keep in mind that there was probably a huge response to the Holiday and 2020 promos plus the dallas event may have backed up the receiving dept. In my experiences, sometimes it moves from submitted to processing a week or two after my ship tracking shows they received, sometimes much longer. Time to relax for now and wait for the Christmas Morning excitement when you get the in shipping notification. |

| Welcome, @Ironwill75! Best forget about those books, it'll be much better for your peace of mind and you'll be happily surprised a half a year from now. CBCS services are amazing when you finally get the books back, but the pressing slog is awful. My most recent (and second) submission took nearly 27 weeks from start to finish and I bit my nails all the way. Having said that, I was ecstatic with the books when they came back. |

| I want to give credit where credit is due. My first experience with CBCS was just before & during their move to TX and was not an enjoyable experience. However I submitted a few books at Dallas Fan Days in October for AW. There was a slight hold up due to one of the books I bought from the artist, while picking up a sketch cover he did for me, in front of the witness ended up not being eligible for AW because the artist had done the cover in 2018 and had "18" dated on the cover. Even with the hold up of me deciding if I wanted it verified or not, the books were ready just before Christmas. I decided to take 3 books down to be signed by Donny Cates and 7 additional books graded on Jan 17th. I took 10 books to the Dallas location and used my three "Fast Pass" add on's by putting 3 books on a separate invoice. I was shocked to receive an email on 1/27 saying my FP order was ready for pick up. Not only were they ready in a week and a half, but I dropped them off immediately before they had their grading expo event. I went down yesterday and picked the books up. I also wanted to mention that the lady that works the front office @ CBCS, Kendra Hayden has been extremely helpful when I've picked up and dropped off books. It's a pleasure dealing with her and she's been extremely helpful and informative about events that are coming up, pricing, etc. I am really impressed with how CBCS has turned around the "nightmare" situation from 2018 and appreciate the improvements they've made within that time frame. It may not be completely seamless every time, but there is a "night and day" difference between my recent experiences with CBCS and the chaotic experience in 2018. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK CBCS! |

Quote:Originally Posted by TranthamJ Glad your experience has been good. The only reasons I stick with CBCS are the friendly folks here on the forums and the final product itself. I've made three submissions to CBCS - the first two were nightmarish (to be fair, the second included a huge pressing delay) and I'm waiting on one that was submitted under the 20% off and 4-week turnaround holiday code. We'll see if at least one out of three goes through the process well. As I've mentioned, if you can put up with the abysmal customer service and poor communication, the product is excellent. I suppose in the end the final product is all that matters. |

Have I told you about the time I dropped off 3,000 comics at SDCC?

Quote:Originally Posted by Ninjanick It is going to be anytime now, I just saw on my dashboard one of my Press Screen submissions moved straight from "Submitted" to "Labels" today. I checked yesterday, so this is new movement today. Also note, that it was never marked as "Received", "Processing", or "Pressing". So, you will probably see yours move soon. Cheers |
