CGC received my cards on December 7th 2020 the website at that time stated the turn around time was 30 business days for a bulk submission ( i sent exactly 50 cards). it was business day 25 ( not counting holidays ) around January 7th or so, and they moved the time to 60 SIXTY business days, i was upset as my order was to be finished in 5 days from their timeline. I called in immediately and asked if my cards would fall under the 30 day time as it stated when they received them, or the new 60 day? I was reassured i was part of the 30 day still. I then stated that 5 days to complete my order of 50 cards seemed unlikely as they had still been in the receiving status. they again said " it doesn't take as long as you think once we start" and NOT to my surprise day 30 came and went, and progress didn't change. i called back after business day 45 and someone told me that " if the new time reflects a longer time than previously noted the new time will be "MY" new timeline. I was obviously unhappy to hear this as they were 15 business days late as it was. but nonetheless what's another 15 business days. FAST FOWARD TO TODAY FEB 24 2021!!! cards are STILL in received status, its been 57 business days, and guess what? my cards will not only NOT be done in 3 business days to make the 60 day business day mark, but they've now changed it to 70 SEVENTY business days. at this rate from what I've seen and been told as long as they keep pushing the date back i won't be receiving my submission any time soon. they say Hind site is 20/20 and if i could go back in time i would have never sent them in the first place knowing id had to wait several more months on top of the original 30 business day period, i would have sold the cards ungraded for 1/5 of the prices and cut my "losses" at that, but i wouldn't have paid $416 for the grading and wasted 3 months waiting for them while there still a month out. overall a quite terrible experience, if they would have stated 70 days in the beginning i would have been able to choose to wait 3.5 months or just not grade them at all. but given false hope they'll be done in ANY sort of timeframe apparently is just unrealistic as the date keeps moving further away. yes yes yes i understand business is busier and other card grading companies charges 2-3 times as much with just as long of wait times, but that's why paying less per card at a 30 day turn around time was obviously superior. CGC was the superior grading service up until all the prices went up, grading times went through the roof, and they only keep pushing back their dates. if i only knew then what i know now. all i can do is sadly wait and be at the mercy of whatever time table they post. I'll write again when day 70 comes around (March 19th 2021) and let you know that i still won't have my cards and what the updated time frame looks like another 2.5 weeks from now. good luck to everyone who submits.
