Sorry to hear about your situation, I have been told everything is packed now and stored ready to be shipped. I realise this does not help your situation 🙁

Hey man, thanks. Good to know. Didnt know I'd have to come on the forum to get info. You just gave me more info that they have in months. And my situation is just like everyone else's. I'm no different. I've just lost all viable income without being able to even get unemployment for some reason. Again, it's a communication issue. Seems as if the world kinda just tuned out when it comes to answers about anything. Just venting, man. Theres no bad feelings in my heart. I'm just trying to find out what's going on with all the loose ends I got going right now. I appreciate your response. Simply talking helps...

General question, and I apologize if I missed the answer on an earlier page.

What is the current TAT for books submitted for NO press with Fast Pass? I've got 3 modern and 1 expanded being mailed in today. I've never used the fast pass option before and am curious as to how much of a difference it will make.

Regular submission 4-5 weeks in house.

FP 2-3 weeks.

Still zero news for us Canadians waiting for shipments out of the Oakville facility, which even if they are a long time coming it would be nice to get some sort of update without having to bug customer support for info.

My graded stuff has been sitting there since early February (which already I though was an odd delay, since the shut-down order wasn't issued until late March), and I could literally drive down over lunch to pick them up in person - so close, yet so far

Ok. So now that my order status has been changed to shipping, how long is the general wait time before actually recieving the books? Because I'm seeing many people commenting that theirs has been "shipping" for awhile now. And since the cbcs message I got was automated, were my books graded/verified,as well, or just pressed? If they were, will grade be posted? Still unsure of what's going on with everyone's stuff. Guess I just got added to the next stop of waiting period

@Rehab1666 you can check a couple posts here for the whole process https://forum.cbcscomics.com/topic/9896/page/1/cbcs-101-a-newbies-guide/#6

But in short, the shipping email beats actual shipping by anywhere from a day to maybe a week. If your books are shipping that means that they're done, so they should be pressed, graded, and whatever else you paid for. You should get another email with tracking info when it actually ships, and that's also when you can check your grades. Since the emails are automated they don't always line up perfectly with reality, so you can also check your submission status to see if the grades are there.

hey, thanks. Apologies, cuz I'm kinda new at this. And the forums bounce all over. But, I'll just give it a few days and check back again. Much of my issue was from no contact, or emails. I'll wait and see now. Thanks for ur help

@Rehab1666 No need to apologize! A lot of the description/documentation is in the forums for whatever reason instead of clearly laid out on the website, and pressing is backed up to forever. Hope you get your books soon, and the grades you wanted.

So I've got orders submitted from before and after the Covid closure (between Feb 24 and April 12). I guess I'm curious what sub date is currently bring shipped so I can guess where I'm at in the queue?

Thanks y'all, and stay safe.

@dielinfinite hmmm. Was your order on fast pass or anything that would make it process faster than mine?

I'm sorry, but i have been cooped up to long...

Maybe CBCS took your moniker to heart and is having you feel the pain.

@Masochism mine's been "received" since September 17, in CBCS possession since September 1, 2019. You may have a bit of a wait. Granted, mine are being pressed and verified

@Voodoo_Jim Thank you, and roger that, I was just trying to gauge the scope of the wait and figured this was the thread to do so on. Have a good one everyone. Stay healthy. Wash your hands!

Pressing is a mess. The pressing services have been closed for a few weeks while they move from Florida to Texas, that’s on top of the 7+month backlog they had before. Assuming they get back up and running quickly with no issues you may be waiting 8 or 9 months for your books to finish pressing before getting in line for grading.

@Masochism What date were the books actually received? The date shown on the dashboard is the date the order was created, not the day the books were received, which is when the clock starts for turnaround.

Also, what are the contents of the order? As I said above, if any of the books are awaiting pressing then you have a long time yet to wait.

Otherwise, there really is no reason you should still be waiting on them and it may be time to contact customer service

@dielinfinite I was charged on March 3rd.

33 books about half of which are witnessed sigs. No pressing or VSP.

You were charged, that is actually a good thing.

@Masochism I believe the dashboard reads the date that the invoice was filled out. So if you mailed in your submission, the received date is later. You should have received an email from CBCS when they got it. That's the date to go by. And last I heard, they are looking into improving that so that the date when they receive it is also on the dashboard.

@Jesse_O Well You get charged after the receiving email. I just checked, the Order Received email came in on Feb 27th. As I stated above I was charged on March 3rd. So that's the timeline for my order.

@Masochism ok, so the timeline should have started Feb 27th then when you got the email. So yeah, they should be done any day now.
