Hopefully I get a good grade bump. 🤞 ya you confused reacted, I thought maybe somehow it didn't "make sense" I sent them early October last year and were opened plus marked "received" fairly quickly to no avail. Slow track no press, just a regular submission. What stinks is that I did the same thing with some Economy books in March. I guess I should have wised up!

Yeah, I didn't think folks would be waiting just as long for regular grading next batch of books I send I'm gonna fast track. I have four moderns received at the same time still waiting at ccs.

shadroch Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Thats the ticket. Reward their incompetence by paying them more for the same service. That will certainly teach them a lesson. Maybe we could send in a placeholder book and two or three weeks before they are ready, you could send in the books you really want done.

CGC recently added that the $150 membership credit now counts towards ALL costs, so I did send in one more book econ, this time fast track. Testing boundaries, but would be nice just to get something back from cgc..... Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited awhile for my last batch but it was worth the wait. I wish I knew when they would come out of pressing so I could mark my calendar haha ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 3 subs that were received on 4/25 were shipped on 5/5, which is less than 10 business days for those counting at home. ST however is still sitting in SFG from mid October. Thank you for the current perspective. My one Signature Series Economy still shows received. It was received on 12/09/21. Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind them creating a good work environment, and improving moral (with Pizza), and all that stuff, but this Economy TAT fiasco is a "Black eye" for CGC. Just eliminate the tier if you're never going to work on it. "working days" is a deceptive number once you get to 200. Let's be frank..... it's basically a YEAR. Oh..... and make sure everyone washes their hands after Pizza. Edited June 11, 2022 by gadzukes JJ-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leert Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 My submission for Economy is today at 253 business days (369 calendar days). ToT is currently stated as 210 business days (138 when I ordered). The support said that they "lost" my comics, but I'm starting to have trust issues towards CGC. My feeling is that they are under much internal pressure to keep the official ToT as low as possible on their website and it's just not showing the true status. Funny enough, I sent to CBCS at the same time (similar tier) as I was trying them out also to decide on where to send my comics going forward. I got those in January. onlyweaknesskryptonite, JJ-4, toro and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
