How do the TPGs define 'estimated turnaround times'?

AlbumNerd

It's unclear how the TPGs define 'estimated turnaround times'.

Does it mean from the moment the coin is received, entered into the system, and mailed out?

Or when a collector drops off a package and receives one back?

Or, when a coin is received, and a grade is given and entered into the database, can it be seen on your account?

Estimated turnaround times for TPGs are the day after they log your submisson in, until the day they ship.

• not counting weekends, Holidays, or major coin shows
• not counting the time it take for them to receive your submission
• nor the time it takes to get around to opening your package
• and of course, not counting the time it takes for you to receive your graded coins.

So, their TAT may in fact be 20 days, but your full experience may be two months.

My orders were received June 20th. The smaller order of 8 coins was sent out over a month ago. The larger submission of 12 coins has been 1-2 weeks in grading, 4 weeks in 'encapsulation' and now over two weeks in 'quality check'. seven weeks from when grading started.

So, that is three months for me and could be longer.
