I'm still waiting for 25 books from a Value submission from April 2021.

Similar for me. 8 shipped under "Value" in April 2021 but added pressing. "Received" in July 2021. Submitted an "Ask CGC" and apparently nearing end of CCS. Then another year of grading?

Don’t worry the CGC home page announcement clears this up.

Yeah, the OP didn't post it.  It's on the main page though. 

The OP posted the OP in this thread and it was another drive by shouting.

Don’t bother me with this drivel.  I’m doing a drive-by while on vacation. 

Here endeth the announcement.

That's not good.

Yeeeeeeeah, have you called to make sure the books are not missing?

Yes, several times. At one point, I was told that there was one book left to complete pressing. But it was still almost a month before it showed up at Scheduled for Grading.

I don't understand this one, how is this a negative? They charge you when your submission is about to processed and the work on your books is about to be done. If you want them to charge you as soon as they receive your books you can call them and ask them to charge you, I've had submissions charged right away because it just so happened that some of my submissions arrived just as one of my earlier submissions was about to be graded and so CGC just charged my entire balance for all my orders, even the ones that had just arrived a few days prior and wouldn't be graded for a couple months. 

I've had times when weeks went by when my comics were there. Yet, no charge to my debit card. Just seems like they do everything backwards, which messes up this whole process.

Whats the announcement

CGC claims that turnaround times are faster for both fast track, and express. But, I never pay for either anyway. These 2 things are part of what makes this whole process take longer.

Graders pledge to stop finger denting comics?

One can only hope.

On the other hand, I've been cracking out 9.4s lately that look more like 9.0s.

Timely response.

Only 16 days to provide context.

Todd Mcfarlane signing? I can see how he would chap some people...sorry, I did not read the date of the OP or read the other responses

Yet I'm happy both options are available.

Yep. Entered on the last day the Value tier existing (4/28/21). Shipped to CGC just after that (first week in May). But of course they were swamped with submissions then, and that is the slowest tier. It's been at "Grading/Encapsulation/Imaging" for a couple of weeks now. The odd thing is the other books in that same submission (it was more than 25 books) shipped back to me on 6/20/22.

Just got them back Tuesday. On the same day as some books I submitted in July 2021. So I guess the TATs for the later books are coming down a bit. And the Economy books I submitted in July 2021 now, so hopefully those will be coming back soon.
