What's the longest duration you've waited for an order to pop?

Out of curiosity, what's the longest duration you've waited for an order to finish being graded by PSA? I sent in an order in conjunction with the August specials, shipped on 8/31 and received on 9/3. It was relatively small, only 25 items, in the 1955 & earlier special (most items were from the 1930's). Today is 11/16 and that makes it my longest wait for an order by them by about 2 days and counting so far, and they're still not done yet. Conversely I've had some orders that were supposed to be 45 day TAT that were graded within a week or so.

logged in 1/8 shipped 3/1
so in some cases they have had them for almost 3 months. none were ever on a hold longer than a day if that. then add on that out of most of those I had mechanical errors that had to be shipped back and the time line gets even longer before one can either add them to a set or sell the item.

As for the replies so far, wow, that 2/14 to 5/14 wait time sure seems like a rough one...
Thanks,

<< <i>What year are these subs from.........and is it A.D. or B.C. >>
37 from 1890 and 1 from 1910. All are non-sports, and are from sets that get graded.
Late 60's and early to mid 70's non-sports
I bought a bunch of non-sport cards from 1890 from a dealer on the web. I submitted one group a while back with my membership renewal. 13 of 15 were PSA 6+,
including 4 that were PSA 7.
I sent the rest which checked in September 10th. All but one looked just as nice as the first group. The results for 36 cards were 29 under PSA 6 with 7 that were PSA 6. 6 were also under PSA 5, though only one was expected.
I had one variation card, a tobacco card from a different tobacco company than the rest. It is the first of this company to be graded by PSA. I put a big note on the submission form. I also put a note on the card holder itself. Of course, PSA didn't id it properly. I called customer service, and was told that the order had already
shipped. Huh? It took 60 days to grade, but was packaged almost immediately?
Sorry for all the complaining, but I feel screwed. I've always gotten good grades for this 1890 set.
currently nothing as of today.
PS--All the same YEAR/Type/Set

We as customers can easily help PSA out of the backlog hole they have dug for theirselves. As time has clearly shown they can't stop digging on their own.
If we will refrain from submitting cards, tickets, etc. for all of January and February, this will surely allow PSA an adequate number of work days to address their obviously overwhelming workload.
Granted, most business models would already have gladly sucked up the extra workload by working more hours, and or employing an adequate number of personnel to handle their good fortune. This hasn't happened for whatever reason; so let's unite through pulling together and teamwork and not submit until March. If you can't for whatever reason, then quit complaining and eat what is being put on your plate.
No submissioins until March should really help PSA and us, the customer.
Happy Holidays and Semper Fi------------
Boy I even hate to say this, but in their defense.....there is NO guarantee
with the specials, however, to let something go this far is a little ridiculous
since the regular price which IS guaranteed is 45 days and thats only
another 50c a card (of course, in January 2013, that price is $7 per card).
