I’d say 90 days is accurate. I sent three cards for reholdering in mid July and just received them back in mid October. ---

Just had my BGS sub finish. Was only 2 cards but I subbed when they lowered their prices. Standard with subgrades: 10/25 received 11/8 graded/shipped Pretty happy with the turnaround time. Was 14 calendar days, 10 business days ---

Just moved from qa check 1 to qa check 2, so 12 days. I believe qa check 2 is taking 1-2 days. ---

Nice. Mine arrived the same day, and the “review order” notification went away today, so hopefully mine will be done soon then too. ---

My $18 order just finished. It was probably one of the last ones in because I sent it near the last day and it took 15+ days (!!??) to deliver despite being a 3 day guarantee ---

Wait whut? There is a shadow step between qa check 2 and shipping? Sounds like qa check 2 has two steps. Qa check 2 (while review order function is still showing) Qa check 2 (with review order function missing) Then a progression to ‘shipping’ status as the next stage. ---

Thats what it seems like. Guess we’ll see if its actually an indication that its about to hit the shipping stage. ---

My guess it’s when QA2 is actually done and the cards are waiting to be picked up or sent to the shipping department. ---

How long were you in QA Check 2? I’m trying to guage if this particular stage has it’s own ‘micro’ turnaround time that applies regardless of the submission tier. ---

My personal feeling is that QA2 with review (ard card list) disabled is when they’re done with your slabs and start preparing your invoice. If your order ran into any of these situations, they will put your order on hold and (in the first two cases) notify you through email: 1. They’re going to upcharge you 2. If your card was damaged during the process and they’re going to negotiate a compensation 3. If your card was damaged in a previous order, and you agreed to have PSA compensate you by applying the amount as discount to your current order Your order will be moved to Shipping once the issues on your invoice were all cleared. ---
