Anybody else experiencing delays in your cards being shipped out after grading is complete and grades have been revealed? Received grades on 7/8 and order is still in "Completing" stage and has not shipped. Never waited this long for shipping to happen once grades were received.

Funny enough, just got the shipping notification. Guess I just needed to be slightly more patient.

I think they do this on purpose now, because once grades have popped, you now have the ability to "sell on eBay" via the PSA vault for any (or all) cards in the order, even when you have an order set to "ship back to me."

So they need to give you a few days do review the grades and decide to sell direct to eBay, so PSA can make even more money. Thus, the "delay" (or some may call it a "grade preview before shipping") is intentional.

That makes a ton of sense. Appreciate the insight!

Also have a regular order that popped on 7/3/24 took about 10 days, that is still in completing as well. Curious how long this new “completing” stage takes

Really depends on the facility, which you can't see until after the carrier accepts your package. My bulk orders coming out of NJ have all shipped within 24-36 hours. The CA office must be short staffed because PSA's recent output hasn't been any higher per gemrate.com.

Have you guys just been ignoring this instruction, or do you just write it somewhere on the forms, or ?

I haven't been writing the number of orders/cards on the form.

Wow. Can't believe how well this order went. Even though I felt confident about all the cards I submitted, I can't believe the gem rate on this one. Highlights were a Dylan Crews Bowman 1st auto and all 18 Wembanyama RCs getting 10's.

That’s good to know. I’m really curious where my 2 card regular order ships from, I feel like they could have gotten higher. They also had some debris in the grade reveal photo which I had to reach out to them about. Thankfully it was just on the scanner and not in the slab. I’m guessing that’s what also delayed shipping on that one as well.

Someone up above, suggested a good theory that they are holding them a bit longer to give us more time to consider listing them for sale or storing in the vault. But I mostly just grade PC stuff so that won’t be happening

I don't know what a PSA 7 is these days for vintage. It must be what a PSA 9 was a year ago. I got 6's on cards that were 7/8's not that long ago. One thing is for sure, I will be looking to buy PSA 5/6's that were graded recently. My 1962 Topps Gaylord Perry was a 7 all day long, but PSA just made a decision that they want me to grade with SGC from now on if I want to grade vintage.

I know you can do 2 orders on 1 submission, but is there any way to get charged only once for return shipping? Even if both are the same order type (value)?

Have some duplicate cards with a friend and we want to keep our cards separate.

Is it just me or is PSA really slowing down the last month or so?

It seems they have slowed quite a bit. I grade only Pokemon and my last three bulk orders came back in about a month after USPS delivery. My current June Pokemon special is closing in on three weeks and has had no movement. Just says "Order Arrived".

Same, my tcg subs have really fallen behind the curve.

Supposed to have a Express with grader notes Special pop today. At the Assembly complete mark.

Curious if it does not complete today, do they provide any sort of credit?
