When did you hit R&ID and then Grading? Seems like roughly a month wait before hitting both right now, hoping it’s fast after that.

My first bulk order took a month to get to order prep. This was mid january. Its still in research and ID

My second bulk order arrived early March and hit order prep April 1st

Dont get overly excited for your order back. My higher tier returns this year have been brutal. Just prep yourself and lower expectations

Definitely an anomaly haha this is what I am working with which I think is more reflective of the standard right now:

Yeah I have one that looks almost identical to this, and I also have one that I snuck in in the same package as an Express order, it hit R&ID after a few days but has been stuck there since mid March.

Seeing orders close out gives me hope that they move very fast once it hits Grading but their recent communication (re: speed/pricing) makes me expect multiple more months of waiting.

Add in the month before they input it into the system and its now a 4-5 month service (The 65 business day one) .. Thats crazy long.. Almost worth spending the few extra bucks for higher service if it’s only a couple cards.
