current turn around rates at CGC
Monster's Lair Comics replied to MarkDAnderson's topic in Comics General
Just regular Economy? No Fast Track? I've got a fast track econ from 5/23, and a regular economy from 5/9 with no movement at all. Glad to see some books moving through. -

my 5/9 economy still sitting at GEI. my 5/23 FT economy still sitting at GEI......I wish they attempted to do first in/first out. It doesn't even feel like they try anymore. -

You are past the TAT for the submission. Give them a call and see if they can credit your FT fees back. It's worth the try. -

To quote my brother, CGC is "consistently unpredictable..." The first in first out process is not perfect. Economy orders are being shipped out before Economy Fast track orders. It's the luck of the draw, if they happen to pick up your books at the right time, you get graded and shipped. If they happen to forget your books on a cart someplace in the back of the warehouse, it takes almost double TAT to get your books. If you fast tracked the sub and you are past the fast track timeline, give customer service a call and ask for a credit on the fast track fees. -

I did the math on my step count, 21 miles for the weekend. -

We love the spot too. Looks like the show will be in the same hall of the convention center again next year, so we will have the spot again. We re-upped for next year. This year was great. We were able to sell a ton of books and made some trades on bringing some new books in. We bought some of the exclusives for the shop, and even got to eat at Portillo's in The Colony. Overall a great weekend. I just did the math on steps to miles, and I walked 21 miles this weekend. My feet and legs are tired, but it was worth it with a great weekend. -
Had a great show this weekend! If you stopped by the booth @mysterio @bcc and @The Commissioner ran the booth the whole weekend, they deserve a huge thank you! I was witnessing for Agents of Slabs the whole weekend and we were busy! I didn't get to see the rest of the show, just artist alley and the inside of my booth for a few minutes here and there. Hopefully everyone had a great weekend, and we will see everyone at Fan Expo Denver in a few weeks!

Booth is roughed in. We are on the last row of vendors before it turns into the celeb area. Right at the top of the ramp coming from celeb area. Booth 1213 is Monster's Lair Comics, Rick's Comic Crypt (Bubbagump), and 181 Collectables. -

It doesn’t ship until tomorrow, expected at the shop on Wednesday. So almost 7000 worth of inventory I can’t sell at the biggest show in Texas. Can’t say I’m happy. Cgc missed their tat by two weeks. -

CGC finally updated the TAT for "Vintage" (Economy) to 30 day, and 25 day Fast Track. Modern still sits at 20 day, 10 day Fast Track. FT Economy has been sitting with no movement into thirty+ days, but modern slow boats are shipping in 3 days..... Yet there is an encapsulation hold up. None of these tats make sense. -

That modern must have been hung up due to encapsulation. Only took three business days. Hopefully they can speed that up.... -

Great..... That means another 9 days of GEI for my 4/20 before QC, and I'm sure QC will be 4-5 days. I hope I have these books back by Fan Expo Denver! -

@Snowdon From my experience, Economy Fast Track are not moving at all. Customer service is saying that the hold up is in Encapsulation. They will tell you the books are graded, but can't disclose grades, or can't see grades. I've had a submission from 4/20 that hasn't moved in 27 days. 4 calls to customer service have not generated any decent info except the "encapsulation" hold up. Books I was hoping to bring to Fan Expo next weekend are just going to remain stuck in Sarasota for an extended vacation. -

Still STUCK..... Called and at least got the fast track fees refunded as a credit. Hold up is still being attributed to "encapsulation". -

I have hope for other economy orders that are on the list, but still makes me wonder what's the deal with my fast tracks......
