It turns out three books (all copies of the same book) were something never seen before and needed to be researched. Moral of the story: don't send in odd or unique books with your others. They will slow down the entire lot. Send books that might require some research in a submission by themselves. Ok you have me curious. What was the one ,of which you sent in 3 copies, that was never seen before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skypinkblu Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I have never posted in "just back from CGC" at least not that I can remember...but if I DID decide to post, I think I'd start a new thread. FINALLY back from CGC;) electricprune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 My Economy tier comics went to "graded/quality control" on Aug 16th. How many days do they usually stay at that status? It's been 4 business days so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine hit QC last Thursday the 15th, marked shipped the 19th, label created the 20th yesterday and made it to UPS late last night.....

AGGIEZ Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Does anyone have books that were submitted at SDCC in any status other than "Received"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) When CGC ships UPS, unless specified, it ships UPS Ground? Does UPS deliver on Saturday or do you have to make arrangements for them to deliver on Saturday? Edited August 22, 2019 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReporterSixx Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Have 3 books with CCS for pressing that were sent in early March. Still there. Seems like they'll never travel over for grading. Everything else that was sent in March was back late May (no pressing needed). I'm thinking, at this point, that my submissions in late July will be back before the ones sent for pressing.

They will slow down the entire lot. Send books that might require some research in a submission by themselves. I find it helps on unique books that you don’t see on the census yet, or books you want a label note added to, to submit with the books a small write up with references and website links to the info they need. Ive done this many times with big batches and haven’t really noticed any slowdown in TaT, usually send the same info in an email after the books are received. Figure it might put them in a friendly mood for grading when you do as much of the work as you can for them too.

The package got shipped 8/15/2019 it got to Miami at 5:30 pm 8/16/2019 about 30 min from where I live and it stayed there until today 8/20/2019 and all of a sudden I get a message saying delivery attempted at 1:35pm (who is ever at home at this hour on a work day???) They gave no warning no out for delivery nothing. So now I have to pick it up in the morning before i go to work. UPS got it to me the next day when i went with them. So I guess I will stick with UPS from now on. Be careful switching to UPS, I know my insurance co won't cover the loss if I use them.

Gaard Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 re: carriers I'll use UPS/FedEx for small or cheap batches - USPS for large or expensive batches, because of insurance reasons. re: submitting at cons I've never done it, so I have no experience. But I've always thought it was more likely for the books to be damaged if submitting at cons due to more people handling them. (Maybe I just have trust issues, but I wouldn't trust just anyone to pack up my books) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadzukes Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 My "economy tier" batch of 17 comics shows shipped today, but when I click on the submission to look at the grades all it shows me is zero for all the grades. It shows me all of the graders notes but no grades. I wonder if someone just forgot to enter the data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
