Barbossal Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Good Morning! With the opening times on the Comics and Trading Card sections, it's really useful to see the processing open dates listed out for reference. Since Magazines have nearly a year turnaround time at the moment given business days, can we please get a listing for the current Opening status? To be specific I'm referring to the text like "Now opening trading card packages delivered the week of January 10, 2022." Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Jennifer F. Posted January 21, 2022 Administrator Share Posted January 21, 2022 Good morning, Thank you for your message. The mail date we are opening would be the same for comics and magazines. There is no separate receiving date for magazines. The main difference in the turnaround times between magazines and regular comics is generally due to the longer time frame it takes to encapsulate magazines. Due to their size, magazine sized books do require a different type of sealing machine than regular comics which has a longer process and there are fewer of those machines on hand. If you have any other questions, please let us know. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered why it took longer, when in my mind there was no way that magazine submissions exceeded comic book ones! It would be lovely if the number of magazine encapsulating machines could be increased, even if it's by one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
