Grading time was awesome. Grades, not as much.

Two magazines Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging, Thursday, June 29

Interesting, the two magazines are still G/E/I but upon accessing the submission CGC has listed the wrong magazines. Specifically, they have listed for my submission two copies of France Creepy 1 3/69 Warren Publishing French Edition.

I have to telephone CGC and will likely be informed that, in fact, I did submit French language magazines.

Edit: For posterity!

Any slow track economy submitters still waiting on their subs that were received (aka SFG) before 5/18/23? With the quick turnaround on a lot of the June economy subs (at the higher rates), I am wondering if my books are still stuck in the backlog of subs that were submitted before the price changes went into effect (although I did have a 2 book economy sub received on 5/19 that shipped on 6/22). Feels like my 25 book sub received/SFG on 5/18 has been stuck at GEI for the past 3 weeks now.

For many submissions CGC's posted turnaround times are a myth wrapped in a fantasy concealed in a bed time story.

I do not. A 25 Modern Comic Book submission that is still in the CGC submission void.

I have another one delivered 5 days later and neither show up on in submissions or their delivery tracker.

As one can imagine, CGC has received a great number of submissions, its intake process has slowed, both, or something (edit) else, I can think of a few things, has occurred.

I'm afraid GEI seems to be purgatory these days. Been sitting there since 6/7 on a modern prescreen.

For my 1 recent submitted book, it took about 8 business days to get to Shipped Status.

Exact same with me: delivered 6/29 & still at the post office waiting to get picked up. All good, CGC is likely recovering from 4th of July hangovers

I have 12 books received on 6/22/23 and it's been stuck at Scheduled for Grading. I sent another 12 books at that same time and I got those back fast!

First in, first out. Alternatively, flip a coin.

Oh, so someone is working there.  Nothing is moving on my end and I just figured CGC employees extended their vacations beyond the 4th and there's only a skeleton crew still working the remainder of the week.

I figure its the same thing. They've had my one package delivered from last week, but it has not yet been opened up. Who knows how backed up they are due to the holiday.

Then I had another package that was slated to go out this past Monday, when UPS came to pickup our packages for our business they lost the CGC package. They never even scanned it in, so now I am working with my UPS rep to find out what happened to this thing. Good thing that we have an account with them and I also insured the package through them. Still it sucks to have this problem.
