Newb question

Colossus

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I sent in 2 new coins to be graded and this is the first time I've ever used PCGS. I paid quite a bit with certified and full insurance to ensure they would arrive quickly and safely. Its been almost 2 weeks and I don't see anything show up on my account. The find my package shows it but nothing under my orders. Should I be concerned? Should I be in for a long wait to get them all back? I used the standard grading but I did first strike. I'm mostly worried that if by the time they actually grade them its been over a month since the release. I hope they go off the date of when my package was shipped because I have no control over the transit or when its opened.

They will go by the date the package was received, not when they grade them.

PCGS uses the postmark on your incoming package to determine FS eligibility.
