anyone know what time to expect movement? i'm assuming if there is movement, it'll happen around 6 AM - 9 PM PST.

Usually about an hour after dinner but if I've had that extra cup of coffee that throws my timing off a bit.

 

 

 

 

Sorry, couldn't help myself. 

I've thrown my hope for a Christmas miracle out the door. My 4 economy books are still SFG. I'm hoping to get an update from my LCS after Christmas to see if anything has changed.

Delivered - 7/12

SFG - 9/2

CGC should consider setting up another operation in Canada. With the exchange rate difference it could mean another 30% profit. Here in Alberta there are a bunch of collectors I know that are unemployed/underemployed that would form a pool of potential graders. They could likely get government grants for re-skilling/re-training and then hiring staff from other sectors (e.g. oilpatch here) as well.

Sadly I think they would consider Toronto first.

Likely, but the cost of living and doing business there would make it less attractive. Winterpeg may be the best option if you are looking to locate centrally, but from a numbers perspective Alberta would be the best choice - lower cost of living and no PST.

They would never choose Toronto.  They left NJ for FL for a reason.

My 4/11 received slow moderns have not even been charged yet. Any day now I see the TATs jumping to 250 days.

What a nightmare. Hopefully they get to your books soon.

24/25. A few were borderline, glad the ball bounced my way this time.

Ok, today is my birthday and I would love for my other submission delivered on 6/21 to push through.

FedEx still hasn't picked these up yet so unless they pick them up tomorrow, I won't get them before Christmas.

Now they are claiming that they were shipped but FedEx never scanned anything and I told them that it's near impossible for anything other than an initial scan.  I sure hope that they find these boxes, as I'll be upset.

No way they would miss the plant scan, the scan at Memphis, the scan leaving Memphis, the scan of arriving in Vancouver and going through customs and then out for delivery.

It's still in the warehouse. 

I know another Canadian collector in the same situation as me.  Same dates and still haven't been picked up.

This is the second time where a package was  supposed to be shipped on a Monday but didn't get picked up on the Monday and Tuesday.

At least the other time, the CSR told me that they were just busy and that she would try to ensure that it get out and not tell me that it already shipped and FedEx didn't scan anything. 

Apparently they are discussing with the shipping manager to figure it out.

I had a recent CGC fedex shipment sit in the local distribution center for 4 days before it went out for delivery.

I understand that there are delays especially during this time of year but I'm sure it got there with all the scans.

I wanted it shipped by today the latest so I could give my regular driver her Christmas gift so unless it's out today, there won't be a chance.

You'll like this then:

(Crossover Modern Slow - NO press)

Received 4/29

CGC Opened 5/3

Scheduled for Grading 5/7

Grading/Quality Control 5/26

Quality Control/Finalized 7/28 

Back to Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging 11/8/21

waiting....162 Business Days (4/29 -> 12/22) and counting.

 

I called, apparently they were mis-scaned earlier in May.  No idea why, no reason given.  Once they 'found them,' nothing else noted as to the delay.  Always the same.  Let me email that department and let you know when they get back to me (CS rep).  Most never got back to me, only two ever did.  The change in GQC to QCF was a systemwide change in status labels.  Apparently, CSR did tell me that they finally got graded Nov. 9 but are in the massive encapsulation backlog.  They disappear from the submission view in January.

It's very disappointing to say the least.  I get mistakes happen, but this is crazy.  Especially frustrating that the only customer service standard reply is, "Just wait a little longer and try to be patient."  I think that is something we all are doing on a regular basis already.  Here's to getting books back in the new year, and may it not take an entire calendar year.

They aren't taking the normal routes to you this time of year.  I just saw what I can only assume is your box:
