Magazine grading was faster than advertised by 10ish days. Have two vintage comics delivered at same time still stuck in GEI. 

Is it just me or is it beyond ludicrous that EXPRESS CCS is 55 days and EXPRESS Grading is 18 days? There is nothing EXPRESS about those TAT’s. 
 

Maybe I’m more irritated than usual about these TAT’s because I’m waiting on ASM 5 & ASM 31.

My books finally switched to CCS In Process! Does this mean half my life is over since it takes them an eternity now? 

These express times are ridiculous. 70 total days for press and grade? Delivered to CCS 8/18 and quickly moved to CCS in process and already charged. 
 

Anyone seeing times for this tier are faster than advertised??

How long are books being stuck in G/E/I now, on average? 

Pictures attached are of an ASM 11. I'm having a hard time deciding if this is a really bad trim job or it was just mangled during actual cutting. And if it is a bad cut, how much (if any) could it be dinged on grade? 

Input would be greatly appreciated. 

Any feedback on how long they're taking to check in/receive new books? Had another shipment that was picked up by them from the P.O. on 1/6 and they're still not marked received.

And they were Modern.....no fast track

Mine were the same, no fast track. They went to CCS on 8/18/20, came back to CGC on 12/12, G/QC on 1/8 and did hit F/I/S EOD yesterday. At the end of the day, not over the moon about grades, but glad they're coming home. 

Hope yours do too, soon. 

For those who've crossed that finish line, how long did you have to wait between G/QC and F/I/S? I've got some Moderns that have been stuck at G/QC several days now.

The same thing happened to me with the quick press option. When I submitted the books, the turnaround time was 42 business days. Every time I caught up it would go up by another 5 business days. This happened for 6 straight weeks.  

Likewise...

Any guesses on how long a Modern, non-fast track, bunch will take to go from SFG to G/QC? Flipped back from CCS (after 10 extra business days than as shown) on 12/12 (a Saturday?!?). Will it be the 27 business days shown or more? Impatiently we all wait. 

Split submission (one economy book, 9 moderns), press/grade, slow track. Been there since mid-August. I've passed the posted 74 business days at CCS for both. The economy submission flipped back to SFG at CGC on 12/1, still waiting for the moderns to do so. 

Holding out hope the moderns will make the transition, get graded and be shipped back before the end of the year.

Modern submission

shipped: 6/23

received: 6/29

sfg: 8/3

Grading/Quality Control: 8/5

Finalized /Image/Shipped: 8/7

I live in North Carolina does anyone know how long it should be till I get my book back?

I'm in S.C. and it normally takes 4/5 days. For whatever reason, my shipments go to Charlotte and sit there a day or two before coming back south.

Sorry to hear that.

Appreciate it. Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you. Gotta prep for my next send.

My 2 comic re-holder order has been stuck in grading/quality control since July 10th. 

I hope these are the shiniest and scuff free CGC cases in the history of comics.

Yikes, dude.

Feel your pain, man. I've (STILL) been sitting at SFG since 6//23. Maddening. 

Finally moved to G/QC this morning. Wonder how long this step is going to take...

Still tapping my foot waiting on SFG. Received on 6/24. The wait man!

Still at Grading/QC for the past week. I called to see if there was an issue and was told they were graded on 6/26.... it's now 7/13 and I paid for FT.

Sort of the same thing here. Been stuck at SFG grading since 6/24. Called on 7/6 and was told they were in fact already graded, but waiting to be moved over to be encapsulated and "not to worry, as we're still within the 22 business day turnaround time." When I pressed as to what the hold up was, it was relayed to me they were, at that point, just encapsulating books graded in mid-June. Maddening.

Received 5/27

Finally out of limbo, hope your books are up next

That's good news! There's hope yet. I must say, was very happy with grades of the 2nd batch. If the first grade out as good, will be well worth the wait.

No, I didn't get a label. I sent in my copy of Transformers Ghostbusters #1. 

 

Oh ok, I'm not the only one then 

Second batch flipped to F/I/S this morning. First batch still sitting, waiting in SFG purgatory.
