Turnaround times are ticking in the right direction!

Just took a look at current estimated turnaround times posted on the Services page and it appears that they are trickling down a little bit. Good to hear as I had 3 submissions of various tiers (Regular, Economy, and Modern) logged into their system this week.

As of 5/8/13

Standard & Secure U.S. World
Express 4 8
Regular 17 33
Economy 30 61
Modern 14 19
Restoration U.S. World
Walkthrough 5 5
Expedited 15 15
Normal 20 20

As of 5/14/13

Economy 29 49
Modern 14 19

As of 5/20/13

Economy 24 48
Modern 11 20

I figured we're all quick to talk about longer turnaround times, but it's starting to look like they're on top of things again in the US Coin segment at least.

    Wow, those #'s are promising. I am as impatient as a kid waiting on Christmas when it comes to sending coins off for grading......

    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.

    Hey Wes, maybe that means you won't have to wait as long as we thought. Our economy was logged in on april 11. I figured around June for those 6 so thats good news. I have a couple regular submissions in as well, its more fun when you spread them out.. and since economy only covers up to a 300 coin some have to go Regular.Good luck image

    Does that say over 3 months for World Economy?

    I won't submit World coins to PCGS until the turnaround time improves significantly.

    Definitely good news. I just got grades yesterday on 100 coins from 3/26. A week or so earlier than I expected. Of course, I would have been willing to wait a bit longer for even better grades...

    Pay up and you'll get them back within 8 days. Didn't we just have this conversation?

    At $65/coin, no thank you. My coins aren't that valuable. I wish I could afford to pay that much like you.

    Not just the turnarounds getting better- mailed a coin from upstate rural New York at 11AM Eastern Tuesday - has already
    received by PCGS and entered for grading at 2pm Pacific time - High hopes for a record turnaround

    Great work.

    My last World Economy order was received at PCGS on 2/11/13 and I got it back on 4/25/13. I think it was a little less than the advertised 60-70 business days at the time. I screwed it up though and included a Mexican Dos Pesos gold on the order when you're not supposed to put gold through economy... got charged an extra $20 for that one and it turned out to be counterfeit anyways image

    I guess I need to start using the slower services!

    My Express Secure Plus order, PCGS picked it up Last Tuesday morning, finally was entered into system that Thursday afternoon, and as of 2:45 PM Pacific time right now, not yet graded.

    I sometimes wonder if Secure Plus takes longer? I love the service, and if/when I want to sell a coin, I always get more because of that holder.

    Given all the talk with regard to submission times, I was apprehensive to submit but did anyway.

    CC Membership Voucher. Received 4/30 .. Shipped out 5/15
    9 Coin Modern S7ubmission. Received 4/30 .. Shipped out 5/20 (Grades Posted on 5/17)
    7 Coin Modern Submission w/Var Attribution and 2 Trueviews. Received 4/30 .. Shipped out 5/20 (Grades posted on 5/17)

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
