All addressed earlier in the thread, but go ahead knock yourselves out.
Let me add, that when you call a company and the people on the other end who have your high-value books sound beaten and angry to be in the situation they were in, it gives me pause. Also, as i've stated, I've done this almost every year since I can remember, drop books off at NYCC, and never have I had such a long wait - and that includes standard subs. And I wasn't only trying to save shipping, like I also said a few times, I had an appointment to show Matt the book I was subbing in case it needed work before going to CGC. The issue I had and have, is I paid a ton of money to expedite the book after all these preliminary steps and yet my Express submission got the same treatment as a modern economy submission at NYCC. I think that's a problem.
