    current turn around rates at CGC

    in Comics General

    Posted

    Alright folks I think I am done checking the status of my books...it appears as if we are 60 full calendar days behind any type of scheduling...whatever that translates into business days im not sure...obviously this is frustrating and unacceptable but what can you do in a monopoly..and like someone always pokes in here and says cgc is happy with their business model.  here is my most recent timestamps but i think i am going to move on to buying slabs from trusted people instead of getting the process done myself. will share results when i get these back in may

    Like I've mentioned before, I don't believe CCS or CGS are too concerned with long turnaround times. If customers decide to send less books until turnaround times go down to something reasonable, that will have zero impact on CGC's day to day activity. They still have the same staff grading the same number of books. The last thing CCS/CGC want to do is hire more people, catch-up during busy times and then have to layoff recently hired graders when they're all caught up.

    they must not be in the business of making money then...grow the brand to new people, or people who havent thought about grading comics., invest in NCA..make the business more efficient and you wont have people laid off...

    Problem with new hires is that graders aren't a dime a dozen (not suggesting you don't know that, just thinking out loud).  I'd guess that every Joe Q Collector thinks they can professionally grade books, cards, etc. but fact is, 99.9% sure they can't and while they may know their stuff, training is still necessary.

    Personally, I think they need to open another 'hub' in a different state - West Coast or Midwest perhaps - to assist with the influx of being bogged down by thousands upon thousands of submissions a month.

    not talking about just graders...people to pick up boxes from PO BOx...dat aentry in the system..expediting etc...that or just make a seperate wing for signings

    It's really a win-win situation for CGC. They won't change anything with the high turnaround times because they are banking on collectors slowing down their submissions. Once the turnaround times go down to normal, people will start sending in their books again. In the meantime, CGC will continue grading at the same pace they are now with the same staff.

    yea plus they charged me when they got these..something they rarely do...
