My value plus order that delivered on the 11th of last month is finally in QA.
so what tier level do they actually respect?
regular?
my express submission from last month arrived Sept 15 and I had grades the 22nd or 23rd. value max is a high tier though it should be opened promptly. Unless psa considers everything with the word “value” as junk tiers
Sent 3 PSA submissions through Fanatics in June. They all came back around 3 months later.
CGC is fast because Fanatics has CGC graders on site. For PSA I’m pretty sure Fanatics just sends submissions in like you normally would.

How long has assembly been taking? I had one go from order received straight to assembly.
Of course, the one with complete=false (this switched to true but after the other sub) popped on Monday and the one with complete=true popped on Tuesday
Weirdly, the second sub didn’t have any offers until 4-5 hours after the grades were revealed. I was starting to think this order wouldn’t get any offers.
The subs I dropped off at Worlds finished before subs that were mailed in and arrived at PSA 3 weeks before Worlds 
I submitted my cards in person at PSA Canada and moved to Research & ID the same day.
My Value Bulk dual authentication (card+signature) order has been in R&ID since August 14, so about 11 weeks. Pray for me
Shiiii what did you grade
just a moonbreon that got a 9. rip

Submitted October 28th
Value Max & Value are still in Research & ID
Value Plus and Express have both been moved to Grading
I am flabbergasted. As a reminder, despite what the initial image says, my cards were dropped off in person at PSA HQ on October 22nd. Checking in this morning, I have already hit assembly. All of this on a bulk submission. My guess is I still end up in Assembly / QA for a while, but dang, in assembly already after 10 days on a value submission is insane.
Maybe the price increases worked on getting their inventory down…
Considering how almost none of my value plus and value max orders from October have even entered R&ID, I doubt it

doubt it,
my value max is stuck in order arrived still. This was using the 10/10 special so yeah. My bet is that it still doesnt get checked in by 11/10. I’m normally not so antsy but I would expect at least order prep by now. This is their 5th pricing tier, not 1st or 2nd…
It could be, but I think its more likely whoever took my order in person placed it with orders that were getting ready to be processed. I dropped it off at their Santa Ana location, so maybe they have a better system of organization for in person drop offs?
Its my first time doing it in person, despite only living about 20 minutes from PSA. My shipped orders have always taken weeks to get entered, as I never submit at any tier other than bulk, so the speed of this one has me shocked!
Just received 2 orders back, both bulk. One was dropped off at Worlds, one was dropped off locally in GA around 4 weeks earlier. The one dropped off at Worlds shipped back from California, the other one shipped back from NJ.
Notably, I thought the local drop off was going to finish first, it hit QA Checks before the other. I wonder if it got shipped to NJ between QA1 and QA2 and that’s why it finished slower.
Currently waiting on another Bulk sub in QA, has been there around 4-5 business days so far. (EDIT: this sub hit QACheck1 completed=true on thursday, hoping it pops before the weekend)
