ok, you didn't hear this from me, BUT i've been submitting a few packs here and there lately. knowing that they would take forever, i didn't see the harm of throwing any bulk orders in the same box. (learned the hard way to never throw an express in w/ a bulk). anyways, every single one of my shipments which contain a pack sub in it, the entire sub gets entered and logged right away. in theory, this should knock 15 weeks off of your bulk sub time just waiting to get logged.
exploit this loophole as you see fit!
one such example:
I tried that and they only entered my packs. The other 2 bulk (modern and ultra) still are not entered and its been nearly 6 weeks. Im beginning to think they lost it.
Did you print out diglfferent bar codes for each order, or use the one that was generated once you combined shipments?

each sub individually packed. each individual barcode on each box. then 1 combined barcode for all the orders on the outside of the shipping box.
blurry, how long are things taking after grading these days. a month ago they were taking forever. I had 4 orders received in June , entered in August move into assembly this week. thanks
was super slow on everything right after new years. now all of a sudden, i'm having things go from grading to qa2 and sit for just a tad. then a little extra longer on shipping. but, i use my fedex acct which, i imagine, is not the normal flow. a few others have mentioned shipping stalls too though. overall, better this month imo.

i think they grab a certain weeks boxes outta storage and work backwards. so they grab what came in the 1st thru the 5th. so the 5th packages would be first that pop (because they would be top of the pile) then finish the week off on the things that came in on the 1st as they would be at the bottom of the pile. kinda like moving a pile of cinder blocks, if you get what i'm saying.
i had a later order pop first this week, then the earlier ones started popping now...
I still have two orders entered in early August that are stuck in grading limbo. I expected 6 months plus for my value orders, but this is insane for the CC order in particular.

Interesting.... my submission is marked Economy even though it's Collectors Club submission. Wonder if something got screwed up and that's causing an issue? Is it even worth calling about?

I currently have 16 subs at PSA I sent on my account. The oldest ones were received on 6/19/2020. At this point I think it may be a full calendar year before I get these back. I have 3 other subs that I piggy backed on. All of which I am guessing will be up to a full calendar year.
1 year. Hope I am wrong and they all come in earlier
I just sent 5 separate orders totaling 170 cards. I split them up by sport so I sent an ultra modern basketball, 1 football and one baseball. Hoping that might help. It was more money for return shipping but I was playing a bit of gamble that maybe all one sport would help them a little or at least I'd have a chance at getting them back in a staggered cadence vs waiting a year for them all at once. I'm still waiting on an economy from September, been in grading since 10/4
I've got one that arrived 6/11 and was entered on 8/7 and has been in grading for months. This is a review order and I'm wondering if they take longer.

@byeb1264 Oh my goodness... that is crazy. It would be nice if they actually used the "customer communication center" to communicate. They took away the "through date" and the estimated turnaround times and haven't had any updates since November or December. It was a great idea that just died for some reason.

Here’s one I hope someone can help answer for me,I have a Regular order that hit QA2 on 2-11 and I just noticed that the order details for the 19 cards are no longer visible. Is this normal? My previous submission before this one had the grades pop while in QA1 and I don’t remember if this happened with the sub before that one.

yes, this is a stage within a stage.
the card checklist disappears which means it is very close to popping. that's the final stage w/in the last stage. it's a good thing.

How long between the time grades pop and cards are actually shipped? I’m sure submission level, number of cards plays a factor since it obviously takes longer to package more cards.
Has anyone experienced a long stay in assembly recently? I have a bulk order sitting there for almost 4 weeks now. This is usually a short stop based on previous subs. 117 card bulk order arrived on 6/1/20 and entered 7/6/20.
I had my last of my 80s subs hit grading this am. Normally I would be excited but,. since I have 4 other subs in grading holding pattern and one in assembly holding pattern I am just mildly surprised.
Wonder if they will rush this one through since most of these cards are of little value compared to others.
Has anyone had any movement on their economy orders. I have a 14 card economy order that arrived 8/7 and was entered 9/4 just sitting in grading for what feels like eternity.

I'd call on that. JMO, but that seems strangely long for an economy. My only economy around that time frame was logged 8/10 and shipped back to me 8/31

I have a 6 card CC voucher order from the same time frame, arrived 8/25, logged 9/23, grading 10/16. Hasn’t moved since hitting the grading stage. I had a 3 card economy order that was just ahead of yours. It arrived 7/28 and was shipped back to me on 11/24. I have to agree with the guy that says you should try calling them on that one. I’m about ready to call about my CC order.

Yes, similar situation with me. I had a 6 card economy ordered that arrived end of July and entered 9/1 come back to me about a month and a half ago. Did they just stop working on economy orders that arrived after July?

Let us know if you get through on the phone and what you hear. I am in the exact same boat as you so I've assumed it's expected and not unusual. Mine hit grading 10/4 and hasn't moved since.
Posted today for those parts of the US who have been affected by the ice storms.
And let me know how the conversation with economy level goes I'll just sit and be patient on mine long as it gets here by the 2021 hoop & football seasons I'm good

Just saw that as well. Surprised they would stop shipments to the entire country. I have a regular sub and an express sub that are both in QA2. Was hoping to get them back next week. Guess that won’t be happening
