2 Book Magazine Walkthrough Press & Grade

Delivered 3/19/21

Received 4/11/21

Still no movement on a Walkthrough order; landed @10 days CCS TAT which was upped to 15 days TAT midway. 

Books are now 4 days over new 15 days TAT and still no movement. Exactly why is this called Walkthrough again?

Both are identical in services: slow-boat modern, no custom label, no special anything.

ya cause I have a value fast-track received 4/05, but it was at 31 days when it went away as tier

I called to see if "i'd" be able to see estimated TAT like if the Economy fast track "absorbed" it or not. Never got a clear answer, but the say "June 12th would be 'pushing it" so we'll see.

With Economy Fast-track at 43 bus days, it kind of explains the June 12th with my books remark  I guess it may have cleared it up a bit haha

I've submitted to CGC for at least 15 years. I've submitted in person at shows and of course on-line. Can't say I have seen anything quite like what's going on right now. I wish CGC would open a West Coast branch say in Southern California.  I would submit a resume if they ever did. 

Staying on topic though... I have the most submissions with CGC I have ever done. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Here's a positive for an express order.

Delivered on 4/26/2021 Received (scheduled for grading) on 4/28/2021 and today 5/6/2021 grading/CC.

Could it be they're including how long it takes to open the package and mark received? 

One can hope haha

Unfortunately, TAT's start when they're logged into the system.

Yeesh! Not so much loving this.  

 

[MicroJow]

I'm not sure if I should send in more books now so they get in the system or wait until things cool down a bit. Either way, I assume they'll get back to around the same time...

[djzombi]

Economy TAT = 134 days?!  YIKES

[Smushi]

It definitely is a gimmick that the turn around time we pay for or even the Fast Track doesn’t begin until it’s “officially” received.

Before the price change rush it was about 25-30 business days tell “Received” might get longer. I would love to complain at CGC but even the top comic pressers I know and use are back logged just as far back. Now would be the time to become a reputable pressing company lol.
