I think the clarity here really makes express unappealing
Unless your concerned about grading notes, express is double the price of regular but offers very minimal card value add and cuts only 5 days off
So why even use express?
If they want to keep the tier interesting, increase the insurance as $2,500 isnt much of a leap over the $1,500
Also, mega ouch at bulk tiers. 95 business days is effectively a 5 month turnaround
This is a value order with an estimated completion a month away while my value max with an estimated completion date of yesterday is still in assembly…
i wonder if the packaging a bulk order with a value plus/express order trick will still work
Too many horror stories of PSA “only receiving 1 order” when putting multiple in the same box. 1 box, 1 order is the safest method
yikes, I’ve done it as few times , guess I’ve been lucky
It worked for me last month. I sent a bulk and value with a super express order. Cause of the super express R&D started two days after it arrived at the facility.
Just curious is your order still in assembly? I’ve have one of my orders stuck at this stage for at least 2 weeks.
The value max had grades ready last wednesday and then did not ship until yesterday due to Thanksgiving.
Here’s a snapshot of a few of my recent orders. So far, the estimates shown have been spot on in regards to when they actually arrived at my home.
My current value plus sub just made it’s first move since arriving in early November! I have reached out to support for clarification on my updated estimated completion date, because I was pretty sure the new PSA turnaround times were just additional transparency about time spent in arrivals, plus I submitted before they implemented the change.
It’s probably just a website error, because I can’t imagine a $40+/card tier taking 3 months… but who knows. Will update once I hear back.

I have 5 orders via psa drop off that i dropped of end of oct still in arrived phase haha
I’ve sent two submissions off with my store, one last year in October and another this year in April. I doubt they were sent on time as the owner tends to drag his feet, but is there any chance they were sent off at all? He claims the cards are still “In grading”
Genuine question, how would any of us know? 
If you dropped off cards over 1 year ago and they aren’t back yet, that shop owner is scamming you.
It is completely reasonable for you to go to the store and ask for proof that the submission with your cards is still in grading mode
October 2024?? He ripped you off man. PSA is behind but not a year + behind.
Do you mean October 2024?? Most submissions were finished in 6 weeks around late 2024. You have been scammed unfortunately
This is the first time I’ve had two PSA submissions processing at the same time.
Is it normal to have a later submission hit grading before an earlier of the same tier?
I assume probably, but I’m a “worry-wart”
Yes no need to worry. PSA doesn’t follow the FIFO process, it’s mainly a crapshoot of when they will get graded but I wouldn’t expect two orders to be graded simultaneously, even if they were in the same box
