New cgc magazine holder 6 6

[Famous Monsters Forryever]

I think its a case of too much money, not enough brains.

That video made is brutal but how did the presser not notice the missing stamp? I’d think it would be pretty obvious.

I will agree with others that the biggest frustration now is just not knowing where we stand in line. How long have they been stockpiling without communication? This is not a good look at all.

I see they moved the TAT for Economy/Modern magazines down to 245 days.  Yet my submission is sitting in SFG for 270 days.  This is the definition of fraud.

Hi Alec,

Please let us know how you make out if you call them. My Standard Submission is past the 69 business days that shows in the current TAT. (It was 42 when I submitted)

In the meantime, I going to spend my slab money somewhere else. NOT THIS COMPANY!!!

Thanks

Thanks amigo!  I am awaiting a support email. If that doesn't resolve it, I'll call.

Here is their response....

Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry to see that your submission is delayed. Our Magazine tiers are all experiencing delays in processing due to a previous hold on magazine holder production while a new magazine holder was developed. 
 
While I understand your frustration, we post clearly on our Services and Fees page of the website that turnaround times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. We appreciate your patience as the team works to complete submissions as efficiently as possible. 
 
Best Regards,

So helpful...so sincere...

I love how they hide behind their "disclaimer."  I guess they are trained to do that.  Even though it is not legally actionable fraud...it's still fraud.  Dropping the TATs when they KNOW they have submissions older than that date to encourage more submissions is *F*R*A*U*D*.

Get on the blower to them, at least you can vent a bit, I mean, why are books that arrived after yours in GEI and yours isn't?

If it is any help, I did see another thread in which the person had received his submission 4054939. Funny part was he was wondering about his other Magazine order that he submitted way before that with a # like 402???? customer service said that since they are working so hard to fix the backlog that things will be out of order. LOL

We started encapsulating magazines Friday.  They are supposed be done in the order we received them.

But they were supposed to be done in the order they were received!

Turns out it wasn’t just the plastic holders holding up the books. They had to order new machinery, make sure everything was configured properly, and get operations going because the new slabs didn’t work with the old stuff. This was a tidbit of info I was unaware of until now.

Hi @CGC Mike , do we have information about slabbable dimensions of magazine changing? I have a couple magazines that are 12" tall and just outside the range of the old 11.5" holders. Really hoping this iteration can slip them in! Thanks

I don't have any inside information or anything, but I'm guessing there will still be 3.

How fond of them are you?

[maraxusofkeld]

I'm not interested in selling, but I would interested in getting them graded as I believe they would be NM or better. I am going to wait 2 years, I would just wait longer to send them in.
