NGC Submission Status--what does "quality control" mean?

When checking the status of my submission, I've noted three stages (so far). "Scheduled for grading," "Grading" and "Quality control." The last one is making me nervous. Anyone know what it means? I don't want to hassle them with a phone call.
I'll appreciate an answer from anyone except that Russ guy, who delights in giving answers like, "It means they're all counterfeit."

I think that means they are in the process of slabbing it.

My understanding is that the graders get one last "look" at the coin before it goes out the door to make sure the label is right, etc.

On March 10th I sent in a bunch across the street for the 21 day economy service. I was chit chatting with the dealer this last weekend and he suggested that he'd call them this morning. Well ...not that I really care when they come back...but they said-"they were a little backed up"
March 10th to April 25th is not 21 days, why would they call it "21 day economy service"? In fact why do they bother to insert the word service?
It means once you submitted a 1979 type 2 proof set, they'll be changing it to a type 1 before shipping it out

When I was a young Engineer, I was taught by my mentor that "Service is what you get on a stud farm."
Seems to apply here as well.
