UncSven Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Is my order grandfathered in to the turnaround time that was listed when I submitted, like how the price is locked in? My economy 17 card submission was received January 11th 2021, and the turnaround time on economy was 40 business days. Then it was 45. Then 50 and later 56... Now, as of this week, it's 61 business days?!!?!?! my 40 business days would be pretty much up by the end of this week, but now I still have more than a month to go?? Or, am I still expecting the 40 day turnaround? This doesn't even make sense to me. How could more orders coming in slow grading of orders that are months older? Unless you're literally just putting them to the side while you grade higher tiers, grading them sporadically. If I am tied in to the new wait estimates, what is to stop you from adding more days between now and my current estimated completion? I am not exactly pleased with the situation as it is now. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator PaulS. Posted March 2, 2021 Administrator Share Posted March 2, 2021 No, our turnaround times are only our best estimates. Orders are always completed in the order which they are received within each grading tier. We are doing our best to complete all orders as quickly as possible. But right now, Economy is only up to early December. Thank you for your patience, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRod518 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'm at 57 business days for my economy submission. It was received 12/03/2020 so I'm guessing we are subject to the new turnaround times. The turnaround time when my cards were received was 30 business days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DonLaGreca Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 You guys realize the turnaround times ALWAYS stated they were estimates right? It never said you were guaranteed to get your card back in X amount of time. Its truly amazing to see all the people that cant seem to understand this simple concept.

People just have nothing else going on in life so they want to be outraged. They think this place is twitter and if they rage hard enough that something will change. But thankfully, just like twitter, it doesnt affect the real world. Bemoaning over and over again about the same issues with an internet connection shockingly doesnt actually do anything. People at CGC read this garbage every day and just shake their heads while trying to do the best they can. As grateful as I am for the internet helping me make money, its also crappy in that we have to hear every thought of the craziest people on the planet.

Lol obviously someone that pays a premium for express or higher services will tend to get taken care of. If they simply only graded submissions based on when they were received, what would be the point of offering expedited services for a higher premium? There obviously is a delicate balance of not falling too far behind with bulk submissions, but to not understand that they would prioritize a submission with an average cost per card to grade in the 35-70 dollar range over a 13 bulk submission, is silly. theCapraAegagrus and The Lions Den 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really care if you want to waste your life away getting emotional over things you have no control over. Im saying that if you do not want to wait forever, get standard or higher. Or wait 3 months. How difficult is that to understand? Its not a very difficult concept. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and they obviously give misinformation all the time. They told me several times that I wouldn't get affected with tat increases, that only applies for ppl that are submitting during that time. But obviously that's a lie. Some ppl jus want honest questions and transparency. And when u tell someone something at least make sure its correct J-KComics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah im sure your the first person on the planet to ever tell CGC that they are backed up on orders and they never had the ability to figure that out on their own. Your just a genius for pointing out the obvious. theCapraAegagrus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be very interested in hearing Steve Jobs's view on Cgc or non-sports cards TAT from limbo since he passed away Oct, 2011.

Did TAT's increase due to Covid and folks finally having time to sort long boxes at home for slab worthy comics and rookie cards? Lots of reasons have increased TATs. Social media hype, a way to make money, pandemic boredom, PSA prices and turnaround times getting too long, probably a few other reasons but just some that come to mind. I have a feeling post pandemic that its just not going to be the same since thats literally the only thing that has changed since last year. A year ago cards were like a fraction of what they are worth today and only the pandemic has been a factor thats changed anything. From 2018 to 2019, everything went up a tiny bit due to inflation, but nothing like the last year.

If ur given a tat u expect it around that or give or take a week. If ur job tells u they gonna pay u next week and next week comes and they say another day u would be mad right. These are jus discussions everyone is open to talk about. If ur happy and ok with things, perfect in glad for u but doesn't mean anyone is wrong for wanting closer to what they expected ShiningCollectibles and johnnyms 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
