Why am I paying $283 for regular service time? If my card isn't in the mail Monday they are refunding me some money.
I did the same exact order as you lol... a single card for Super Express received on 9/22. Stuck at the same stage of order received. Whats funny is I did a BGS Priority order for a single card at the same time and guess what? BGS already graded my card and will ship it out on Monday. $202 with next day air shipping back to me.

It's ridiculous, dude. I called customer service today to see what was going on. After he checked on it he was told that they are just now getting to orders that arrived on the 20th. So in other words, they are a week behind.

Unacceptable. I paid for 5 days from the time they received the card like it's always been, not 5 days from whenever they get to the order. If I wanted regular turnaround time I would've paid for that tier.

So technically if someone were to pay for the walkthrough tier, the customer is still subject to the time it takes to even get to the card? That could be two weeks or more.

Had a value ticket grading finish up today. Dropped it off at the Burbank show in Anaheim in late August, and the original projected completion date was the first week of January.

I was finally able to pick up my NBA submission and they definitely used the new slabs. They're heavier and have a different feel. Just thought I'd share.

Next month, PSA should have a "Delivery Special" where if you use a special promo code, PSA will take less than 3 weeks to enter orders into their system after delivery.

Sure wish we would get a TCG special that excludes Pokemon for say $11.99. I know they couldn't run a TCG special that cheap and include Pokemon or else they'd get flooded.

That’d be incredible, although I’d be partially bummed because I just sent in an 80 card non-sports value bulk submission.

I called today and they said the same thing - behind on the R&ID step after receiving. The customer service agent mentioned it is still within their terms as the start time doesn't begin until after it's been checked in. Our SUPER EXPRESS orders are tossed in the same lane as Value, Regular, Express until after they have been checked in, then they are sorted separately. Like you said, what is the point then of paying more for a faster turnaround?!

Walkthrough must feel extra bad considering the steep cost and the literal name of the submission is a misnomer.

A couple of the 9s hurt, really wanted them 10 but overall in-line with my expectations.
EDIT: clarification on one reason why a couple of the 9s hurt. They were cracked from SGC 10s. SMH.

Delivered to PSA on Monday 9/16. 10 full business days to reach Research & ID, not counting the day it arrived or the day the status changed.

The app shows the "Order Prep" date as 10/1/2024 so I assume that's where they are basing the turnaround time.

45 business days...

22 in Oct
19 in Nov
20 in Dec

PSA Est. completion date: Dec 5, 2024.

Just got an email with an October only promo code for value bulk 1980-present. $15.99 instead of $17.99. Thanks I guess! 10 card min.

Gotta give the full story. 2 subs back. 10 out of 15 Gem 10's on modern football. But not so good on the PSA Basketball Special only 5 out of 16 Gem 10's.

Does anyone know if there is a certain time of the day when I should stop expecting a charge on my card/an email saying grades are ready? I’d assume it’d be EOD for their business hours, but for comics, CGC only does charges in the morning.

Edit: just changed to completed, and there still isn’t any grades LOL. Haven’t been charged either. Weiiiird.

Finally charged me. 46 10s out of 74. SO stoked, mostly older MtG and Nintendo stickers.
