I'm on day 20 of a 20 day sub. Hoping this week but it sounds like they are behind

I'm on day 50 of a 7 day and a 45 day sub, I'd say they're backed up.

Seems like they are always backed up.

I had poppage today on day 30 of 45, which is a lot better than 55+ days for my last 3 submissions. The listing is over in the Non-Sports forum.

I had poppage yesterday... It was day 2 on a 45-Day submission.

It was comprised of all 1977 Topps, though.

I have 2 subs that are on BUS. DAY 17 for 10 Day Service.

They should sell an "E" ticket, so that you could move to the front of the line. Oh wait, that's what the express service is. :-)

I know this topic has been talked about to many times on the boards but how hard can it be for the LEADER in the industry to make there listed turnaround times. Most die hard collectors can pick up a card use a loup and magnification and give a pretty acurate assesment on the grad of a card. I usually come pretty close as long as I am being honest with myself (hard to always do) on my submissions. I miss a few here and there but I am for the most part pretty good. Why then is it so difficult if there is a staff of trained graders that see cards day in and day out to get it right. I like to think that there are two graders going at it day in and day out over my 59 Mantle (It's an 8....NO its and 8.5!!!!) but in my heart I know its a 7 and there just late as usual.

Its not hard, they simply choose not to. If they suddenly decided, we will go FI/FO based on service level, they could. It might take 6 months to get ramped up and caught up once they start working on it, but it shouldn't be hard at all.

My 7-day service order was logged 9/4; no pop yet through today 9/25

I would be calling on day 50 of a 7 day sub. I've never had an order that far past due.

50 on a 7 day is ridiculous. I know turn around times are estimates... But if the price is determined by the estimated turn around time they should atleast be in the ballpark.

I hope this is not true!

Yeah, I'd be out of my effing mind if I was at Day 50 on a 7-day sub.

Getting ready to send out three subs myself (first ones in a few months) and I'll be interested to see how quickly they turn. Last year when people were complaining of super-long turnaround times, I was getting 45-day subs to turn in five to ten days. It was insane.

markj111 · September 25, 2013 5:13AM

My last 45 day sub popped on about day 70. That's 70 work days.

No pop when I wrote the note above, but it finally came through complete later today.

Now on Day 49... still nothing

Called one week ago today and was told by CS that it would be done by the end of the week... FAIL!

Called near the end of day last Thursday, was told everything was running a few days behind but nothing was wrong it was moving along... yet the week came to an end... NOTHING!

This has been going on for 2+ years now of less than stellar service delivery (unless of course you send in an all vintage sub, then that will pop in 2-3 weeks or less, regardless of service level)... when will this drop-off in the previously (pre-mid-2011) better-than-average service come to an end???

Seems like this happens with the "leaders" in grading no matter what is being graded. Whether CGC with comics, or the company that does toys, or the 2 or 3 top coin graders.

Once these companies have little or no competition let the tiers that are not expedited fall way behind, force most members to either pay extra to get a reasonable turnaround time or you might as well wait anywhere from 3 to 9 months to get the stuff back. Yet the people that are in the top 2% of subbing stuff with these companies still manage nice turnaround times. Crazy.

Day 45 comes...
