Marked Scheduled for Grading on Dec 2
Marked Graded on Dec 3! I know it will sit on Quality Control for a month but still.
A non-fast track Economy order submitted the same day is still on "received."
Marked Grading/Quality Control on Dec 5
Marked Shipped/Safe on Dec 10. That looks like 31 business days or so, which is perfectly acceptable for a non-Fast Track book.
Unfortunately, I turned in an Economy order on the same day and it only just became Verified.
This makes me wonder why I still have a Modern submission sitting in Grading/QC since 11/21. The way they process orders makes absolutely no sense.
They will process some smaller orders out of turn if it helps them round out a full days work.
Lets say it's 4:45 and they still have two 30 book invoices that are next in line. If it takes a half an hour they are most likely not going to start on them. Instead they will grade a smaller 5-10 book invoice or a combination of 1-2 book invoices. Some of these may be submitted a week or so later, but they get processed first.
