FYI I got an upcharge email while it was still in the blue QA Checks stage (before the green check).

Looks like this is a new change.

What are we looking at time wise between getting the "review your order" and shipping?

The person that updates the orders was on a 2 week vacation and they are just getting caught up today.

Sent in a Value Max (15 business day) submission and was marked received and in order prep since 9/8. No movement at all since. I know the business day thing doesn't technically started until R&ID but seriously 2 weeks without hitting R&ID????

First time I've had a PSA submission come back on time via COMC. May be a positive sign

Looking like QA is the new assembly where #@#@#@#@ just sits forever before they bill.
Business day 64 and still hasnt moved to grades ready or been billed. Definitely won't finish and ship in 1 day, so appears they aren't hitting the 65 days either.

1 of 2 June 23rd orders just had upcharge email received. 4 upcharges all valid.

Per AI, 63 business days.

Still one more order from June 23rd that's in QA. Kinda frustrating, but alas, what can you do.

Will you be accepting any of the “PSA offers?”

Anyone else get their psa buyback offers removed? I had an offer for a card that said 16 hours left to decide, and I just checked and its gone.

There’s only one of the 9 that I like. The others, it seems to me that they like to offer when the last comp is on a steep downtrend.

Cancelled my automatic renewal on my PSA membership. What exactly am I paying $149 a year for??? Cards have been sitting there on a shelf since 8/4. I think I am done with grading after this batch finally comes in.

My latest order got there August 25th and still nothing. I just emailed them about it. Doubt they do anything but this is ridiculous to not even be in R&ID. August 8th ^ is even worse, sheesh.
