ANACS Turnaround time

au58

I submitted 26 coins for ANACS economy service at the Baltimore show in early December. On the day of submission, the estimated turnaround was 8 - 10 weeks. Saturday, 2/14, was the 10 week mark. I called today and the revised best estimate (no guarantee) is now Friday of next week (one day short of 12 weeks). As it was pointed out to me, I was the one who failed to account for the fact that they take a week off over Christmas and the New Year. I assumed, incorrectly, that since they know their holiday schedule better than I, that they would have considered it in their turnaround estimate.

NA! They just want your business and your money, or, you can look upon it as elective memory loss on their behalf...

I submitted 9 Bust Halves & 5 FB Mercs at the Houston MONEY Show on 1/23 so it should be interesting to see when they ship.

Can we just get over the fact that economy = slow? Whether its ANACS or PCGS or whomever, if you submit economy, be prepared to wait. If you needed it by a certain date, you should have coughed up the bucks and submitted on one of their timed options.

Honestly, all these threads about the slowness of economy are getting rather tiresome. Deal with it, people.

At least with ANACS, you can pay $15 per coin and get 5 business day turnaround.

Sorry flaminio, didn't mean to waste your time. I was just to be informative to other members who might like to have the information. Fact is, I'm in no hurry. That's why I used economy service. But when they tell you 8 - 10 weeks, and then miss by at least 20%, then tell the customer you should have known better, all is not right. Maybe some others can use this data point.

I disagree. These are businesses and they are NOT providing good service to their customers. Businesses that provide poor service should not be rewarded with additional business.

So that leaves PCGS out, right? What's their economy turnaround time up to -- six months?
