    Thanks for confirmation.   I have been sending in Books regularly since October 2020 and they have consistently "been 2 weeks behind" in opening during that period of time.  I suggest that this 2 week timeframe from "delivery" to CGC and seeing the books show up in system as "received" is likely the norm at least for the foreseeable future regardless if sent UPS/USPS/Fedex.

     

     

    I think this is spot on accurate.  Whatever the timeframe is, add an additional two weeks for the foreseeable and immediate future.

    I ship books via my workplace.  UPS shipping prices are 90% dimensional weight and 10% actual weight.  You can have a box that weighs 2 pounds but has dimensions of 10x10x10 and it'll be $30.  However, personally, FedEx or UPS are MUCH more reliable when it comes to delivery times and proof of delivery.  USPS is way cheaper but it's a figurative bleep-shoot. 

    @Ninja0215, here's what I mean...

    Measure out a 8x8x7 box, it's not big at all but it adds $3.

    Maybe to CGC, but UPS and FedEx are notoriously worse for me overall. I feel like most packages get transferred to USPS for the last mile which adds 2-3 days for delivery. Would rather just use the USPS.

    Everyone has different experiences, and to be fair, my USPS experiences are hit or miss at best.  Out of lets say 100 packages I've sent this week to various people of businesses, maybe 1 or 2 have had an issue via UPS or FedEx.  USPS? Probably 20 out of 100.
