Forgot to mark ST on my box 0

[Jbao]

I realize that the markings help them with sorting, and therefore will affect my turnaround time, but does anyone have any experience with forgetting to mark their boxes?  If so, was there a way to notify them?  or did it just majorly increase the turnaround time?

From what I've read, if you forgot to mark the box there is no way for them to find it and correct the matter.  It will be treated as any other slower submission.

while they can't do anything until it's opened...you may want to ask cgc how they will treat it once it's opened. Maybe once they open it they can treat the time for ST turnaround as the time it sat unopened. Last I heard it's taking 6-8 weeks to open unmarked boxes though (30-40 business days)

Initials (of the artist/writers) are required for the signature series submission as well.

I'm not saying it would be an official policy or something, but if you called customer service or went on the social media of some CGC employees, you might be able to privately "solicit the services" of an employee to go through the boxes hunting for your box "after hours", just depends how much its worth to you.  Of course no one would ever know about it....

anyhow, good luck in all your future endeavors.  Keep us posted.  Or don't (wink wink)....

Once it's opened, the items inside will get prioritized accordingly.  Until then, it will get treated like the lowest-priority items.

I've never even heard of writing ST on a submission. Is that even a thing?

Though it does not state so on the submissions page, an admin did recently write this:
