PCGS Check In Times

coinercoiner Posts: 829 ✭✭✭✭

I’ve noticed an abnormally long time to check in packages for grading after they have been delivered at PCGS
What is going on?
When paying for a speedier service level—you have to lose time sitting in an unopened package with our hosts.....

    We are talking about 1-2 days—one of my last submissions was about a week or more

    After receipt (picked up from PO) it’s about 2-3 days when I see status the status of my submissions, regular and modern.

    Make sure to write the highest submission level on the outside of the package (if you have multiple submissions in the package.) I usually write it below my return address.

    If in doubt call CS.

    Yup, same here. USPS Tracking says package was picked up on 11/30. PCGS shows "Find my Package" on 12/2...

    Now the waiting and endless refreshing... lol

    Delivered on the 3rd and opened and entered in today, not too bad!

    Can anyone tell me when they hit the CC during the process?

    My express submission arrived Monday. In the system and in Proccess today.

    I have faith PCGS is getting orders in and out as fast as they humanly can.

    @Kccoin Good to hear.. mine arrived LAST Friday and still is NOT in the system. It is also an Express order which leads me to believe something ain't right

    On previous submissions I’ve had the CC hit on the same day that I receive the email that grades are ready.

    My package of 2 submissions was delivered 12/2. One of the submissions was logged in yesterday (12/10). The other submission in the shipment, which is the unopened ERP box, hasn't been logged in yet.

    I'd rather them be slow and careful than rush things and make mistakes.
    Remember there is more than just a coin to keep track of with these and I'm sure it's slowing the process.

    2 bd is acceptable—and was done so in the past years very accurately
    There is a problem over there they have to correct
    My submission is on its 8th Business day and still not checked in

    @coiner I agree, this is a new issue, it never used to take more than a day to get orders logged.

    My most recent submissions were delivered and confirmed by PCGS's "find my package tool" on 12/10/19. Lets see how many business days its takes them to get my submissions loaded into their system. :#

    Was just told they are a week and a half behind on getting orders opened and entered, and they have brought in more staff to help get caught up.

    Even express is delayed? I would have thought those went to the front of the line right away. Did you label the box?

    I have heard the lobby at PCGS and the onslaught of Enhanced proofs has them way behind.

    My most recent order shows delivered on the 5th by USPS but doesn't show up on my account yet. So they surely are behind.
