PSA Express Orders

redgem · 04-19-2021, 10:36 AM

I submitted some Express orders that were 'checked in' around March 10th. They have not yet been marked as "entered" as of today, April 19th. Back in December, they were entered within a week or two after being checked in. Is this happening to others as well given the March 1st tsunami of submissions?

Mine was marked arrived on March 16th and it is not entered either. I suspect they are working through the tsunami of submissions before the price increase.

Mine was marked arrived on March 10th and just went into grading this morning.

mjnyc888 · 04-19-2021, 11:30 AM

I heard they were opening packages for express that arrived on March 3rd as of last Tuesday.

Promethius88 · 04-19-2021, 11:34 AM

I have an express the arrived on 3/16 that was entered on 4/9

Also have an express that arrived on 2/24 that was entered on 3/25 and is still in grading.
The value of this card keeps dropping by the day, lol.

Yes they emailed me same thing, Mine was checked as arrived on 3/12 so hopefully they get to it this week.

I sent an Express order that arrived on Feb 28, was entered on March 10. It went to QA2 last Wed, where it now sits.

nyisle · 04-19-2021, 12:09 PM

Same here. Mine was marked as received on Mar 10th.

Turd Ferguson · 04-19-2021, 12:16 PM

Shipped an Express and Super Express in February - both arrived 2/17 and the Express was entered 3/9. It got moved to Grading but I can't remember exactly when (maybe around 3/19). That's where it is as of today.

RufussCkingston · 04-19-2021, 12:36 PM

I think that they seem to "enter" orders about 1 month after they arrive except for Super Express and higher. Though that would seem to add an additional month onto the CTD for express making it a 3 month wait, as CTD is from entered, not arrived I believe.

alphaomegas · 04-19-2021, 04:22 PM

my express arrived 3/8 so I'm expecting movement this week but as of today nothing but arrived

kabrune2 · 04-19-2021, 07:04 PM

Better buckle for a long wait on express because it's just going to get worse as my express arrived right before the increase, I had 2 different express arrive on 2/23 and here is their journey so far...

I have a 2 card express order that was received and entered on the same dates as yours. Still in grading as of today as well.

SleeperCards · 04-19-2021, 10:10 PM

I feel like those of us that sent USPS are going to be waiting a while.
I have an Express and Value Modern that "arrived" 3/10, would be cool if they get checked in before April is over, but not counting on it.

gaslania · 04-19-2021, 11:10 PM

I have an Express order that arrived via USPS on 3/15. No movement since.

Just moved into Assembly today.

OP should just check the PSA Order Tracker thread?

I just checked my status and mine is also in assembly. Funny that these subs are on the exact same schedule.

redgem · 04-22-2021, 03:07 PM

My Express orders arrived on 3/10/21, still no movement. My guess is that after the March 1st price increase, they got a ton of submissions under the pre-March 1st prices (mine as well), where the order form had been completed prior to March 1st. Mouse in the Snake unfortunately.

BudKing · 04-22-2021, 03:48 PM

My express orders were received 3/10 and no movement.
My value modern was received 3/11 and entered in 4/21

towerymt · 04-22-2021, 05:01 PM

I sent a 2-card Express order at the end of Feb. before the price change. I just realized today it does show "Arrived" as 3/8/2021 (I didn't know the date showed up until I clicked "My Orders"). But really, no movement.

The package is in the building, but I don't think they've opened it.

Pizza tracker:

"My Orders" detail shows the arrived date:

This happens to be a crossover, but I don't think they would take longer to enter it. But I do think it may take longer to be completed than a typical Express order with raw cards. Time will tell.

dunkindutchmen · 04-22-2021, 08:25 PM

In late Feb. I sent a 2 card reholder and 4 card express. The reholder has been entered, nothing yet on the express.

Same here. My Express orders arrived 3/10/21 no movement, but my ultra modern arrived 3/17/21 checked in 4/24/21. Weird...

DiamondDonovan · 04-26-2021, 02:39 PM

Did a combined order with two service levels (9 card regular and 2 card express). Mailed them in January and both were marked as "arrived" on 2/5.

Both orders were in grading for the longest time (of course lol), but I got my grades back for the Regular order this past weekend. The Express one is still in QA1.
