Well, the status' are a bit of a mess rn.

I have 5 orders live - Standard/Econ delivered 12 August, Standard/Econ delivered 19 August and a Bulk from 29 April.

Both of my Standard orders have been sitting in Grading/QC for 5 weeks. My 12 August Economy went to Grading/QC to Quality Control/Finalized for 3 days then moved back to Grading/QC. All 4 of my Standard/Econs are now at Grading/QC. 

I am in a discord with people who are submitting very regularly and I know that there are people with several subs that were delivered around the same date as mines, that had their subs sit in Grading/QC for 1-2 days (moved to that status the same day as mines) meanwhile my ones have been sitting for 4/5 weeks respectively on the Standards.

I have no idea what CGC are doing right now and I have emailed to query but no response. 

Have they taken payment for the submissions? If not you might have a "accounting issue" for whatever reason. I've delt with it twice so far

Looks like it got wet or they started using some thin paper.... reminds me of the cheap cardboard insert they use for shipping.....

Wow this is disgusting.......

did you have to pay for anything?

 

No I did not. CGC covered everything.

This is for the people (like me) that has to send slabs back to be fixed due to CGC errors.

Shipped to CGC: 8/9

I've heard CGC is starting to grade Video Games, which is slightly disappointing since we still could benefit from Pokemon Jumbo Cards (25th Anniversary) and Yugioh Cards

TOPPS cards, square cut cards, the list goes on with pokemon really...

Anyone know where I can find the tracking number from USPS?

You'll get a shipping email later on in the day that has a tracking number

Hey Paul, any update on my order?  2/12 Econ still in G/E/I, and I've called several times, pretty sure there's no accounting hold there as I paid ahead of time.

Looks like they lost your submission because that sub should of been back to you forever ago.

You better start asking them to pay you out on your Declared value or you'll definitely be out everything...

My standard sub is in Grading/Quality Control. When looking at the status explanations, there is no Grading/Quality Control status shown. I assume it's between G/E/I & Quality Control/Finalized?

My subs always goes from QC/Finalized to Grading/QC then to ship.... idk what any of it means either....

I chose USPS and they did the same thing. I think all services are messing up right now unfortunately

USPS has been jacked up in my area for 2 years now ever since the "pandemic" started. I'll drop packages off at my local Post office and they won't be entered into the system up to like 2-3 days....

Delivered: 4/2

Was reading multiple comment about when your sub is in Grading/Quality Control it's because you need to call them, is it True ? Or it's the normal processus of grading? Because my sub Just switch from G/E/I to G/QC and the kther one switch to QC/Finalized, so I was wondering if it's normal.

I've paid in advance for both sub so it's not a payment issue.

You should be good to go. Just a waiting game now

     At this point I understand CGC is swamped like all other top Grading companies trying to get subs shipped back etc. But what doesn't sit right with me is them lying to me about everything. I was told after I made a payment on one of my submissions through accounting that it would ship out with in 48 hours last week. That was 6 days ago.

    I was also told it would only take 14 days for them to fix a labeling error on one slab and have it shipped back to me. I shipped the slab to CGC on 8/9. Still no movement or information on wtf is going on. Just complete lie after lie and misinformation. If you plan on submitting to CGC just don't. At this point it's not worth the time, money or health problems you develop from stressing out over your cards. I had to go to the hospital once already do to a panic attack caused by CGC TAT and customer service people lying to me. I'm on meds now too.... Thanks CGC 👍 

Does anyone else that check these forums have slabs they had to send back to CGC to be fixed/reslabbed? If so how long have they been sitting at CGC? I sent ONE slab back to CGC with a labeling error to be fixed. Was told it would be 14 day TAT and here we are coming up on about 2 months later with no progress.....

Any insight would be helpful. Thanks

Was that with a bulk sub? This is my first bulk sub all my others were standard and express so I wonder if that’s the difference. 

@PaulS. here is more proof that the cardboard insert used for shipping is straight trash and does NOT protect the slabs in shipping. I do not want my slabs sent back in this matter.. what can we do to change this??

On 9/16/2021 at 11:54 PM, Kusig said:

Unless they are going to turn around reholdering in a week I wouldn't trust CGC to ever sent them back especially at this rate they will quote him a week turnaround and it'll be 4 years.

 

I sent a slab back in over a month ago now to be re slabbed due to a labeling error and it's still just sitting there not moving... I called on Monday and they said (like with everything else) they'll get to it asap..... what the flub....

tbf it does say estimated. Dont get me wrong, I'm just as frustrated. I'm just sayin 

I totally understand that. But when a standard sub of mine had a 45 TAT and I didn't get it back till around 170 business days, I'd hardly call that an estimate but a wild guess

On 9/16/2021 at 3:46 PM, mattisgoku said:

You guys should check the estimated turn around times on bulk and economy every day. How much they can and do change every week if not daily is quite interesting. Last I knew economy was over 200 days, now it is at 166 and bulk is at 210. It changes constantly and by quite a bit usually.

If my economy sub shows up today it would be 166 days TAT and should not change at all with influx of the TAT let's say 2 weeks from now where it may jump up too 220 days which should not apply to my submission. If that's what you're getting at..

"Turnaround times reflect the estimated number of working days to complete a submission delivered to our facility today."

my 5 card standard submission just went from QC/Finalized to Grading/QC, and I haven't been charged yet. Is there a problem? Should I call them?

I would just to stay on top of CGC...

On 9/16/2021 at 6:02 AM, Deha88 said:

That’s not accurate, I have an economy order sitting in QC that’s already paid for and the bulk from same order is at my house. This economy order has been in QC for 3 days now. 

Key word used, usually... Sorry that I and others had different experiences then you. Doesn't mean it isn't accurate.
