Do they send an email when they charge your CC or do you just have to pay attention to your charges?

I have always been sent an email the same day.

These numbers are unacceptable especially when you take into account the QC they are having.  Two months just to open packages? 129 working days for Economy? We're about to see people waiting over a year to get their books back

 

Yep. I expect to move next summer - there's no way I am sending any more books in for the rest of 2021, except for two recent signings. This is ridiculous. I can't wait until Geoff Johns and Co. finally sign.  It'll be 100 days turnaround for Modern, minimum.  I still have books delivered in 2020 I'm waiting for.

Every day that I refresh my submissions and my express sub still says received 4/13 I get more and more annoyed

My 12/21 Quick press submission was shipped on Friday and received yesterday. Only 10 of 25 books received a 9.8 grade, which was very disappointing. As usual, I typically check the books to see what I did wrong to receive a lower grade. Unfortunately, upon close inspection I noticed at least 6-7 books with the same indentations in them as before. I'm not sure what happened. In the past if a book was not deemed pressable, CCS would notify me and provide reimbursement. Some books were pressed and pressed very well, while others looked the same as before. I sent CGC a complaint to see what happened.

Another update - both of my Prescreen Moderns have shipped.   A week apart but both right around 3 months from Received to Shipped.    And for those interested in how tough the grading standards are - these are all books from 1984-1987.    The 39 book order was 9.6 prescreen and returned twelve 9.8s and seventeen 9.6s (74% hit rate).   The 37 book order was a mix of prescreen 9.8/9.6 and returned ten 9.8s and ten 9.6s (54% hit rate).    I will also note that these books were pressed and prescreened by a professional - so there were experienced eyes on these before sent to CGC (not just me and cup full of hope)

As an experiment I may resubmit a few of the rejects with no prescreen just to see what happens.

Technically it's only been 3 weeks today, and CGC had promised certain 3-4 week TAT for Grading and 6-8 week for grading and pressing so 3 week at grading, I've got to hope for soon

I have noticed my value submissions have been picking up steam. It seems they are eager to get rid of that tier.

You definitely put in the work though!

I dont press hence my value sub being 7.5's and etc. I always wondered if you pick up all your books at one time? When you post in this week in collection,  it would take me a couple of trips to a LCS to come up with so many  AND you find decent copies too!

I just try to have something to do on the weekends but my LCS doesnt roll like that is all I'm saying 

Glad your making it work!

 if I still find cheap keys, I still send them in to keep, wait until you see my moderns in a couple of days!

Lord I hope. Have a Value Fast Track delivered like 4/28 that still hasn't been checked in yet.

My slow track Value Tier Pre-screen shipped out today from received date 2-11-21 which isn't so bad considering it was also a Pre-screen!
