Has anyone experienced extremely long grading times at NGC?

I am planning on grading my congrats and ASE when I get them, but I sent in some ASE to be graded on the 29th if January. It has be "scheduled for grading" since that time. I see they changed their time frame from 12 days to 29, but come on, this is nuts how slow they are moving

    I have a submission that I sent them at the end of December (Received 1/7) that is still in "Received" status.

    I've only used their services a time or two and, when I did, they were lightning fast.

    It partly depends on the influx of coins coming in, Elite and Bulk submitters will always bump to the head of the line...meaning push you back(happens w/PCGS too). My Moderns took 27 days, my World Gold 8, still waiting on my Economy @ 34 days. Honestly both places can be all over the place time wise...not to include goofy shipping delays. 7 days from FL to OH...took 3 days for Alaska to Oh...go figure.

    Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

    Yes!

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Maybe due to virus the coins needs to quarantine for 2 weeks? :*

    I sent two coins in for grading using the express teir last month. From the day they were delivered to NGC till the day they were shipped back was 5 days. They arrived to NGC on a Monday and I got a tracking number the following Monday.

    Yes. My last submission in 2006 took more than six weeks.
