CGC is the worst.
Here's my first order went: I shipped in the middle of July; per USPS it arrived about 7 days later; it then took CGC 2 weeks to update my status to received; about 3 months later the pressing was completed and my status was changed to "scheduled for grading"; it has been scheduled for grading for 10 days.
TAKEAWAYS:
1. Do not have your comics pressed with CGC unless you like waiting. I press them with a local guy now - he takes 7 days to press 10-12 books.
2. Do not expect these clowns to mark your goods "received" until they've been there for 2 weeks.
3. If you want slabs by Christmas, send them before Easter.
P.S. - I saw an ad noting CGC as hiring for cards and other collectibles, but not for comics. If they're not hiring for comic pressing and grading, then they should be ashamed of themselves for making their customers wait so long.
P.S. - It is atrocious that people can pay extra to have their comics rushed; essentially skipping the line in front of collectors who don't have a ton of money to waste. I'm almost at the point where I'm going to switch grading companies.

Huge turnaround time / backlogged ?
