Outstanding PSA Orders with Ludkins Collectables USA

amcgl58 · 2022-12-19T14:29:52.117Z

So I got my order back this weekend and the cards I chose to not grade after recieving my pregrades weren’t included in my return. Has this happened to anyone else?

Finally got this response from Peter after a couple weeks of asking for an update on my orders:

Here’s where we’re at: we have less than 100 submissions in total that have not yet returned from PSA. Half are being released this week, and we will be getting them back soon after. Less than 50 subs will remain at that point, and we’re working to get those back in the upcoming weeks, as soon as possible. Please keep in mind having them returned is simply one part of the process, and an immense amount of work goes into processing and returning submissions to customers after they are returned to us. We sincerely appreciate your patience so far and ask for just a little bit more as we finish out the remaining submissions.

Hopefully this is finally almost behind us. Meanwhile my Fukuda autos still aren’t on the POP report so

I have 2 of those remaining 100, curious if I’ll get any emails on Thursday. If not, I’m hoping by the end of January.

I never got this email, I have 3 of my 4 orders returned. So 1 order left with 300 cards in it

I never got any email like the ones shared earlier in this thread either, it seems they don’t send you the “here’s where we’re at” emails unless you’re actively emailing them to complain/inquire.

I have 4 in there, hoping to at least hear about one pretty soon. The email seems to suggest that processing at “Ludkins” will take a long time, so I’m not confident we’ll hear about returns of the 50 being released this week until the new year.

Peter loves provided excuses any chance he gets, like he’s the only one in world facing a high pressure job right now.

Pretty maddening reading some of his emails.

Here are the pop changes for Fukuda autos I’ve been tracking the past 1.5 years or so…

Mew Gold Star has been stagnant at 13
Mewtwo Gold Star has gone from 9 to 11 ~~(Down to 10 as of 2/3/23)~~ (Back up to 11 as of 2/12/23)
Celebi Gold Star has been stagnant at 8

Also LC Box Topper Charizard has gone from 1 to 4 ~~(now at 5 as of 1/9/23)~~ ~~(now up to 6 as of 2/3/23)~~ ~~(Up to 7 as of 2/9/23)~~ (Up to 8 as of 2/12/23)

That’s for Ludkins UK, not Ludkins US. US has been returning orders and are almost done.

You should post that link here:

Ludkins UK Middleman Service Bankrupt? Grading

No and the worst part is i dont know if PSA has my cards or Ludkins UK ran off with them as PSA got mine jan 2021 And registered them june 2021, i feel like PSA has them but they cant put their finger on them because of so many cards.

Woops - thank you!

boogus · 2022-12-22T13:50:02.814Z

don’t scare me like that again!!

defluo · 2022-12-29T19:01:55.207Z

I got an email from Peter asking for my return address finally! Part of PCDL-1 which I believe was my feb 2021 group submission.

UPDATE: Paid return shipping costs, got my tracking number and spoke to Peter who was willing to hold off on shipping my cards back until I returned to town!
Just 1 more group submission to go!

Returns incoming email for 130G-O

Things are still moving and the end is near!

How long have people been waiting to get their order back once they receive the returns coming email?

teraz · 2022-12-29T19:26:12.265Z

For my single order about a week average for my last two orders that recently returned. Group submissions may differ since intake processing probably takes a bit longer.

kpod · 2022-12-29T19:36:00.026Z

By the time they email you, they already have the cards back and sorted ready to go. As long as you pay shipping charges fast enough, a lot of times your cards will be shipped same day.

I never mentioned it, but I got my Ludkins order back about a month ago and I got an order back from polaris at the same time from July. Seems like Polaris has a good rhythm. I think Charlie and Peter with ludkins/polaris have done a pretty good job all things considered. Nice to see they have a well oiled machine currently.

redsticktcg · 2022-12-30T03:48:08.647Z

Charlie has not been with the ludkins/Polaris for some time. Probably almost 2 years

joer · 2022-12-30T03:54:52.931Z

Whoops, you are right about that. Been communicating with Peter throughout the process though. Last correspondence with Charlie was right as the pandemic was kicking off.

Just got return tracking email from Ludkins today, on my Feb 2021 order. Glad this will finally be over soon.

umjammerdanny · 2022-12-30T22:04:48.764Z

prayer ignored…at least a bunch of other feb subs are coming back

Devise13 · 2023-01-02T04:01:28.532Z

Hey I just recently found this forum and I read through it the last few days. I have an outstanding order from Ludkins from 2/19/2021 (not sure when psa actually got them). I never recieved any follow up emails besides paying invoices etc. I never got an order id/number, I never get any update emails. Is this common I’m basically just waiting but should I do something to make sure I’ll get an email when the time comes?

trevcatchem · 2023-01-02T04:27:32.191Z

Just hurry up and wait. I was in the same boat as you. I had a submission from that same period that I got a returns incoming email from Ludkins email this week. If you’re using the same email as you did when you submitted, I wouldn’t be worried.
