PCGS submission entering times?

So, my package arrived at PCGS today. How many days does it usually take to enter the system and do they have people there on Saturdays or will I have to wait untill at least Monday?

    Alas, there is no good way to answer this. image

    I always drop off my submissions in person, and it usually takes 1-2 days for them to show up in the system, but I've had it take up to a week. imageimage

    With PCGS doing on-site grading in St Louis this week, the process seems to have slowed down even more: I dropped off a 5-day Express crossover coin on Tuesday this week, and it still isn't showing up in the system. So much for fifty bucks buying you expediency.
    When in doubt, don't.

    I can hang a few days but if I dropped it off in person and had to wait three days or more just to see it show up in the system, I'd be making some phone calls.

    PCGS had a "Black Out" period during Oct 19-21. Sent express grading and photo submission that arrived at 6 PM on the 18th and entered in the system on the 20th. Most of my submissions have taken about four or five day's from receipt to entry in their system. I'm disgusted with 45 day grading times, ugly IMO, for the money spent.

    I totally realize that they probably get hammered with packages on a daily basis but a package should be entered into the system on the day it arrives otherwise their tier times really don't mean much.

    I sent three submissions late last week, all three show as being signed for on the 20th. The two economy submissions hit the PCGS system on the 21st, and the 5 day Express order still isn't logged in.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    I thought Express was 7 days.
