My last two books from the Neil Gaiman in house signing moved from GEI to shipped this morning!

Mine have been GEI since 10/30

Going to start making my own duotang variants. @greggy will be my influencer. 

This is WILD. 
and it looks like they are going back to the well, so it will get even wilder. 

Hey guys, I've been away for a bit.
What's happening in this thread?

This is wild.  I was on  vacation and came back to see people popping off about this all over the place.

I keep finding new layers to this, like the fact that it was a book that didn't sell the first time and they just added an overlay cover on it. 

So the take away is everything Modern is performing ahead of schedule. And anything that isn’t modern is languishing like the condensation on the back of a toilet tank. 

Greggy getting that preferential treatment

Standard received 04/01. 
went In to G/E/I the next week 

quoted TAT time is 21 days now. 
actual time so far, 56 days. 

At this rate @greggy is going to get all of his Modern slows back faster than my Standard submission. And his book arrived later than mine as well.

that's harsh...were you the one that talked to them already and they pretty much blew you off?

Yeah that was me.

3 weeks now in GEI for Express....one month since received

My standard sub is at Day 52 against a TAT of 15 days. I have no idea what is happening with upper tier orders.

Standard submission

13 books

received 04/01

currently G/E/I, which is where it has been for more than 2 months

current quoted TAT: 15 business days

my actual TAT so far: 45 business days 

I’ve been going around the block on this one in the past week hoping to get the books moving.  I called in today to chat about it, and got very little useful information and even some that contradicted a previous conversation I had with them. I get the impression customer service doesn’t really know much about where things are at, and don’t care a whole lot either. To be fair, they aren’t incentivized to care. 
 

they said the books were in the encapsulation queue, which is where they’ve allegedly been for 3-4 weeks. They said they were currently encapsulating standard books received 05/16. 
 

I said OK. Mine was received 04/01. Can we get this thing going, if you’re doing books that came a month and a half after mine?

Obviously the answer was no, and basically we just have to take what we get.

I guess if we go by their posted Tats we're still within the threshold, but it's weird to hear someone who's "Standard subs" were received a week after mine and has theirs "shipped" already.

I'm sure mine will be shipped within a couple days, cuz they don't have problems with the Standard tier.  I'm just so frustrated with my Economy tier subs that it's affecting my expectations for all my other submissions.

My Standard received 04/01 still hasn’t shipped.

My submission (standard) for 5 books has been one week or more in : grading/encapsulation/imaging status. Is that normal? I ask because all my previews submissions that status just last 2-3 days . 

Mine has been in G/E/I for like 6 weeks.

I've mentioned this before in this thread of my latest 25 book submission the one book that irks me the most is my Infinity Gauntlet 1 should be a 9.8 but was graded a 9.2 for a "crease center back cover"  which it doesn't have but I'm assuming they are referring to the production error as seen in the pic below. I've sent this off to CGC asking about this and they are checking with grading about it supposedly.

 

 

I once submitted a batch of 25 copies of this book, all with this issue, and all 25 got 9.8.

Which tier?

Standard 

Mine received 04/01 is still in G/E/I.  So it seems wildly inconsistent. Mine has been in G/E/I since before yours was even received.

My current submission is standard. Just went to G/E/I yesterday, in fact. 
 

Rec’d 5/12

SFG 5/16

G/E/I 5/17

My standard was received 04/01, and it still in G/E/I.  It has been in G/E/I for a month.

Meanwhile one of my modern slowtracks was in G/E/I for about an hour today, and is now QC.

This one sums up the whole thread
