Why grading times seem random

It's because they are.
I sent 2 modern order on 10/28 and 2 on 11/18. First I received one from 10/28, then both from 11/18 a day apart. So I called to ask what happened to the other order from 10/28
The way the guy explained it is they have two areas of the vault (actually the guy said they have two vaults, but that's another story).
One area of the vault is for orders they track for time guarantees and the other half of the vault is not tracked. When a grader needs some boxes to grade, the vault manager goes and gets them out of the vault and brings them into the grading room.
The timed boxes get priority and processed in order, but the other half of the valut is taken out at random. So if you have a modern or ecomony submission it's sitting on the other side of the vault. If yours is in a box that got pushed to the back, it's going to stay there awhile until they rotate them once in a while.
So if your ecomony or modern order is taking longer than everybody else's, it's because your order is sitting in a box near the back of the shelf and hasn't been lucky enough to have been picked yet. It's not done in a first in first out order.

<< <i>how long before they are graded, a day or two?. >>
My understanding is they are only in the grading room one day. They then move back to vault #2 to await a second grading. Then back to the vault, to await sealing. Then back to the vault to await verification. Then back to the vault to wait shipment.
At the end of each business day, they are stored in the vault.
