This is very frustrating! 1 1

[Mark Goldberg]

When I submitted my magazine, there was  a 5 business day WK turnaround time. It has been a month! Please grade my order today! You keep saying that you will check on my order, but no updates. I feel like I have been robbed! 
Order Number: CGC5517709035

[ExNihilo]

Several things...

- Welcome to grading and collecting, where patience is a virtue.

- There are people who have been waiting for books to return for like a year.  One month is a drop in the bucket.

- Has your package been entered into the system?  The turnaround clock starts as soon as it's entered.

Yeah, you're just starting out on this path of stress and misery known as grading and slabbing.  Once you poke around a little here and read some of the horror stories, you'll consider yourself lucky if you receive back the book you sent in, in approximately the same condition you sent it, in your lifetime--and for bonus points, you won't have to re-submit it for a mechanical error, debris in the slab, or because it was slabbed upside down.

You should be happy if it's been a month and you haven't received any bad news yet.

It took my moderns close to nine months to be pressed and graded.  But hang in there, I think it’s worth it in the end.

I payed for insurance on it, so how can I get that money since they stole my book?

Get a lawyer and make it a class action suit.  You might look into reporting a hostage situation to the local police, although that might have unintended consequences.

I’m especially frustrated mainly because this can be potentially a $50,000 book if graded high! (It is in fantastic condition) 
 

If I paid for a 5 day return, I expect it to be back in 5 days! There is 0 chance they are this backed up! If I don’t see it graded on my account in the next few hours, I will be contacting my lawyer. It is not Jens fault! She shouldn’t have to deal with this!

What book is it?

X-Men #1?

I'm somewhat curious what the timeline has been up to this point.  You also haven't confirmed whether or not the book has been entered in CGC's system.

What are you, his lawyer?

Caveat Emptor and all that, but if you want to speed things up, calling their offices once a day to complain may get you the PITA expediting service.

Dude, eat a Snickers.

 

I have books that I have not seen in 9+ months and counting.

Did you.... "mark each side of your shipping box with WK in large, bold letters." If not, your package will end up in a long line waiting to be opened.   Walk through for magazines is now 12 days (once received).

in before the lock

Seems like this guy will be able to win over jurors pretty easily.  Owns $50k magazine, ships it to strangers without reading terms carefully in hopes those strangers will make the book more valuable. The complains about it publicly, accuses them of committing crimes (that’s criminal, not civil) in writing publicly

without evidence.  
 

although I will say Cgc could do a better job of making their teams clearer.  
 

I actually would love for them to get sued so they are hopefully forced to be more transparent.  
 

I wish you good luck in your jury trial, and i definitely don’t think you’ll end up paying legal fees of Cgc in your upcoming lawsuit.

I did everything they asked me to do

You and this guy should exchange notes.

Business days.

Magazine WT is 12 days, which I find hard to believe since CGC usually treats mags and economy like the stepchild they never wanted.
