| CBCS work has always been excellent but when I dropped my books off 6 months ago at Wizard World I was told that they could beat the time of the other company. The other's companies books were returned 2 months ago (including pressing). I would still leave them at CBCS is they could give me a concrete delivery date, but they can't. | ||

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

Quote:Originally Posted by josfriend That is an issue that would understandably would add to your frustration and decision. Honestly, I thought I might have all mine back before year end and was hoping to receive by Thanksgiving, but the parties that I was dealing with never gave me such assurances that was completely my guestimate and hope. But, the TAT on my 1,300 grade only submissions from SDCC ended up being 1 1/2 to 5 weeks, to which I was amazed. More importantly, they were accurate grades. |

| Just a thought - would it not make sense to have a trusted external supplier do the pressing just to catch up on the 7 - 8 month backlog? The normal TAT for non-pressed is seriously incredible (like only 4 weeks now). That's been supremely cleaned up. Isn't it time to clean up the pressed books now also via another method than just the CBCS presser(s) doing it? |

| @Nuffsaid111 Borock mentioned in that interview this week that steps were being taken to improve the pressing TAT. Stay tuned. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by southerncrossMy books were given to both companies at Chicago Wizard World in August 2019. Pressed and graded books were returned by the other company in January. The books given to CBCS are still waiting to be pressed. My credit card was charged over 5 months ago for the pressing and grading by CBCS. I have asked for my books and my money back. |

| @josfriend I understand wanting a refund. Myself no press and I dropped them off at the grading expo. I'd thought after spending that kind of money they'd be quick on the turn around for me. |

| Just wanted to point out the disparity between services: dropped off two books at C2E2 on April 1st with the two week TAT guarantee - I got notice that they're shipping my books today! Yay! Great job doing even better than what you promised, CBCS! BUT - my order that's been sitting with press screening since September of 2019 is still in "Processing"....BOO. Press and Press Screening = ETERNITY. | ||

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

| Our current turn around times for regular submissions is 5 weeks (or less) and has been this way for a while now. As for pressing, we do have plans in place to help this area improve greatly, but it will take time. Please keep in mind that any issues freeze your TAT's and well delay the submission. For example, if we need to speak to a customer about a signature we found on the first page, that is not listed in the paperwork, this will slow down the turn around for however long it takes to speak with the customer and resolve the issue. |

| Fast pressing works for moderns at the very least, I submitted at the end of December and got my books back by the end of February it was only 5 books though...so if you are trying to do a quick flip fast press is a must | ||

 If the viagra is working you should be well over a 9.8.

xkonk private msg quote post Address this user | |
| @Qillabee If they emailed you that, it should be pretty reliable. When did they get your books and what are they doing (pressing, verifying signatures, just grading)? | ||

| @Qillabee so they got your books down to Texas probably a week ago or less? Witnessed signatures shouldn't add any time as long as your paperwork was on point, so you should be looking at the standard ~5 week TAT right now. | ||

| @Topher pressing is known to be pretty behind, and then it would have to be graded afterward. Plus you have the Canada shipping process to contend with, right? | ||

| I wonder who in the forum has been waiting the longest. I'm waiting to hear how exactly they will be addressing/resolving the pressing issue. They should stop taking pressing books for a while to catch up. |
