How's the turnaround time on your most recent submission?

As the title states, I was curious if members here would share their most recent submission turnaround time with our host? Also if you could share how many coins in your submission would be helpful.
I just purchased my first membership in 9 years and preparing my first submissions, so I am just trying to get a gauge of what to expect for my submissions.
I have 15 silver dollars in 1 submission, and 6 darkside in another submission. Looking forward to getting them holdered, ive picked them up since the shutdown from local shops and most recently a couple shows.

No recent submission for me, but the estimated turnaround times from the PCGS website follow:

Five moderns took 60 days. When I received, they had forgotten to TrueView them. Customer service paid for sending them back. Wishing you better luck than I have had.
Considering my previous submissions - I will get it back - eventually....

ATS is pretty far behind too!
Currently at 3 months with no movement for multiple orders ATS.
PCGS flowing as normal for me. Naturally sending more to PCGS right now.
Few months ago, pcgs was quite fast, seems to have slowed down a good bit just recently. NGC & PMG are really slow currently. CAC has been fairly fast as of late.
One coin, Express Service, Restoration: 6 days. The TrueView took an extra week.

I sent in two classic commemoratives to PCGS on June 3 (economy service) and got them back yesterday.

When PCGS has good promotion that's the time to send because there are not many coin to grade. That's why they have good promotion.
One submission of three orders containing six coins. They were received on 08 July. I am not expecting results for 30 days.

I have 19 in on economy with a June 1 received date and still in “grading” just to illustrate how it makes no sense the order In which they are graded.
PCGS received 3 coins with vouchers in June 1, I had them back in hand July 12. Got TrueView added to my coins, may have slowed down the process a bit.
This was the first time I sent coins to PCGS, and it was a bit of a personal trial run to see how the grading process worked. Overall, I found the grading was exactly what I anticipated and the turnaround time was acceptable.
The biggest pain was dealing with registered mail, which had 10 days of no updates, and took 14 days to get my package to PGCS. If you do not get an update on your registered mail for a week or so, I would recommend opening a inquiry ticket with USPS. Once I opened the ticket, the package location was updated the next day, and it got to PCGS in three. Credit to this forum, I found an old post here recommending opening up the inquiry ticket.
Only question I really had with PCGS was that the ASE I submitted developed some milk spots on the reverse of the coin at some point after I mailed it. Just curious as to when those spots developed.
attributions and trueviews i'm sure slow down the process by at least 25%.
I have 2 submissions that were received and started grading May 18th and another May 28th. A total of 22 US Mint medals and the first 13 are still grading after 50 business days and have not made it to QA. I sometimes wonder if the new eagles have some priority over older economy medals. Certainly grading thousands of eagles takes time, and so I suspect some other orders will take longer than normal.

I've submitted four coins for grading and Trueviews, two of which need their attribution verified. It's now been 46 business days and 73 calendar days and counting since their submission at the Summer FUN show. Our hosts must be very busy these days. All one can do is be patient knowing grades willl be coming soon.
I have three in with an entered in the system date of 8/30 at modern tier
Sent another one which was entered today on the one below walkthrough tier.

Express: turned around in 5 business days, pretty fast.
Regular: just got my notification they're getting encapsulated, about 25 business days.

This is how pcgs has performed for me so far this year.
The bigger issue I have is the post office delivery which at times has been three weeks.
I have a 7 coin modern value submission that was received by the host on 8/4 and had not progressed past the Grading stage to encapsulation. My similar submission in May with 3 orders had 2 delivered in less than 30 days, with one "mint error" taking about 50 days
Poor.
But I am sure they are trying hard to keep up.
Reholder received by PCGS 8/26, shipped 9/16, 1 coin.
I hand delivered at the Vegas show (July 12), coins took exactly 2 months (economy submission). Gave PCGS an economy and a regular submission at the ANA in Chicago. Tick tock, tick tock on both.
Got a regular on business day 46 now.
22 coin economy order received 7-19 and moved to encapsulation 9-19.

Renewed membership 7-25. Sent 172 coins in then, and they were received on 7-27. Not yet entered into system. Bulk grading. Have many more to send in , but.... I may delay that for a while.
Regular submission, 5 coins, delivered in person at FUN, logged in 7/16……crickets…………………….
Here are my latest results,..
Got a regular submission received 7/16 that just went into encapsulation today.
That’s about as regular as Jaimie lee Curtis before activia!
Hi, I know this in an older thread, but I had a question specifically for you. I sent in 3 coins for Restoration "Express" tier. They were received on 2/9/2022 and as of today 2/19/2022, they moved Into the "Encapsulation & Imaging" phase. This is faster than I was expecting. In the short turn around for your coins, were they actually restored? Or did they deny restoration and simply regrade?
My three coins had some yellowish haze on them with one having rim toning. I'm hoping they elected to restore them all, just don't know how to interpret the PCGS meter. Any response would be appreciated. I may PM this to you as well.
Best to call CS and ask, they will look it up and let you know,.. Phone wait times can be long but their "call you back" option is reliable.

that's very fast. I sent in two for restoration, received on 1/15 and it is still in received as of today.
I has a walk thru received in 2/8 and it is in QA and imaging. so your restoration is unbelievable fast. Wait today is 2/17/2022 not 2/19/2022?
Tried this and got greeted with a “we have reached our limit of calls for the day. Please try back tomorrow” message. Never heard of it before. I was quite surprised.

Well, I recently made two calls to PCGS both were answered pretty fast. I guess it is depends on the time and day you call
