current turn around rates at CGC 80 80

[spreads]

I called CGC to get clarity on my two submissions, they'll be able to tell who what the status is....

[mysterio]

From what I saw on the “status explanations” link at the top of that invoice page it looks like they’ve done away with “verified” as a status. Now everything will be SFG from the word go, and they did away with “graded” as well, which will make it tough to know when you’re moving through the process. So now you’ll be SFG immediately and it won’t change until they’re finalized. Kind of annoying...

EDIT: missed that “graded/QC” is still a thing, so there is an intermediate stage after SFG. My bad.

Did it say at least there is a QC or at what stage your grades will be available online? Sitll QC?

Just looked again, and I did miss that there will be a “Graded/QC” stage. That’ll help some I guess.

Anyone know why the comments are gone from the Submission page?  And/or if they'll come back?

I sent in one book last month for pressing and grading, revived on 2/4.  I’m assuming it got pressed since CCS invoiced me and charged me.  And have not heard a word since then.  This was modern fast track and it just shows received 2/4 that’s 30 days ago?  What’s the point of paying for fast track if it’s still going to take forever? It lists 8 business days for a modern fast track.  It’s been at least 20 business days and no change in status.  I was hoping to get this book back before a convention at the end of this month.

When were the books verified by CGC?  Verified and received are two different things in the eyes of CGC; I sent in 5 books that were received by CGC the 15th of February and Verified on the 20th

Edit: Also, this is a handy website (no affiliation) to determine actual business days.

I would call them directly as something doesn't seem right.  I don't know all the specifics regarding your issue and I by no means an am expert but regardless, physically talking to someone might move things along faster.

ToTs are just an estimate and up until maybe a year ago, CCS accuracy on their ToTs were absurdly inaccurate. 

They have come a long way but it still changes drastically. I just sent a few books in a couple days ago, when CCS was at 13 days for fast track. It just changed to 21

You might have a wait - in December I submitted 7 books for Modern Fast Track and Full Press.  Books arrived on Dec 21st and were sent to CCS  They arrived back to CGC on Feb 7th.  They were shipped back to me on Feb 19th.  That was 43 business days (excluding holidays).   CCS is definitely the slow part of the process.

+1. 

Unfortunately the timetable for ANY tier is renowned for its inaccuracy.

For those playing at home, I submitted four Modern SS books at NYCC for press and grade slowboat (10/7).

Finally received submission acknowledgement today (2/5).

When the CCS invoice is emailed to you...  does that mean they've finished pressing and heading to grading?

[Bird]

I have been scheduled for grading since the weekend! This is what I act like when I click on the submissions page and see that it has not changed

Man this will be a photo finish, I have two batches at CGC...the first I sent to CCS, CGC received them (charged my CC on Feb. 22nd).  I was hoping they would be graded this week to get back to me in Canada before the end of the month.....the second batch is still stuck in prescreen...

From what I can tell, it means the book has been received but is not yet pressed. You'll still have a bit before it heads back to CGC.
