Funny thing about the date for packages opened is CGC changed it to May 3rd this past Monday and 5 days later changed it to 5/17? Something seems wrong... lol hopefully not.

This was the time period directly after they increased the prices. Maybe they got thru the mass orders of people submitting before the increase & not many subs were sent after the increase.

2/12 Bulk moved to Quality Control/Finalized this afternoon from Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging. Never had a submission be in this step before, so not sure how long it takes before being shipped back. No grades posted yet either.

My 10 card economy moved to QC/finalized on friday, i got charged that friday also. it shipped today. It could be fast cause it was 10 cards, yours is 52 cards so expect a longer time in QC, i can see you getting charged soon. lets hope it ships out around Friday

Anyone know what the difference is between Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging and Grading/Quality Control ??. Does the latter mean they're done and just checking their work?? O_O. The status labels are confusing now

That's correct, they are done and checking their work. From what I've seen QC usually takes less than a week, even for bulk.

My 2/12 bulk still hasn't moved from Grading/Encap. Pretty sure they're punishing me for making so much noise in the forums at this point :banana:

They finally got back to me through email and replied with "Your submission is in encapsulation phase." 

Gee thanks..

Wow, I think you just got really lucky. But congrats still! I have a large bulk submission that they entered in as received on March 26th, so I'm hoping soon enough I'll see some movement. I'm excited for when I get this back though. 130 slabs sounds like a good time!

2/12 bulk w/subgrades actually shipped today so you were right, not long after! But man, did CGC get tougher on centering? Felt like most of my centering subgrades were 8.5, 35/52 were.

This is getting maddening. People are getting their bulk orders back before I get my economy back with the same received dates. I've been in grading/encapsulation/imaging for over a month and a half now. 

"Thank you for your email. Your submissions are currently being encapsulated and will move on to quality control/finalization next.
We know that turnaround times are important to our customers, and we are working hard to complete submissions as quickly as possible while still maintaining our high-quality standards.
