Was this for a package you sent that's inbound to PSA? That address is a post office in the city.

They told me their receiving section was working on orders received on 25 September. I figured I might see my submission finally go to research and ID this last week. Nope. Still waiting.

And now I see people saying PSA is still working subs from 22 September as of the middle of last week. So the info we get from support is unreliable.

I'm pretty patient but this is frustrating.

I called PSA to check in on this one as it still shows QA1 at the moment with an ETA of today.

They said its currently being reviewed by the value adjustment team. Is that a normal process step now, meaning all orders go through that, or only if grading flags one of the cards in your order?

Anyone know if the "Problem Order" status for a potential upcharge still pops up since they changed the tracker to the blinking red dot?

Is anyone having a problem with them shipping back to you? I got charged and order completed about 2 weeks ago, but no tracking added. Starting to get ridiculous.

I had an order finish 3 days before this one and it was shipped next business day. Starting to think maybe there is a problem.

They are a mess right now. I had an order get marked complete with no grade reveal but half the cards got added on the pop report while the other half didn't. The next day it went back to the QA checks and a week later it was marked completed again but this time with the grade reveal. Currently being shipped back.

Still waiting in QA1 for an order that had an ETA of the 17th. Called support and they state there isnt anything they can do and it's with value review team.

Sounds like an up charge? Could account for the delay

This is for a Value Max order.

Grades popped today for an order I sent in late August. This was all ultra modern soccer, so presumably a single grader.

61% gem rate (27/44). This set has an average gem rate of about 40% so far, so I feel great about topping 60%. Two 6's and one 7 were kinda weird, but I'll take it.
