my two bulk submissions still stuck in order arrived since 10/21/25. I was expecting for them to process in about a month.

the bottom 2 are dated Oct 20th. The only one that felt reasonable was the express but even that was so much longer than I’m used to for that tier

Only a month. Received Oct 17, R&ID Nov 15, grading shortly after. Estimated completion date of 12/17.

Its been incredibly frustrating and I’m sending a message to customer service if no orders make any progress by early next week.

My bulk sub finally hit R&ID after 2 months and a couple days. Estimated completion early March.

The one box you sent 3 orders in on Dec 4th - do you pay return shipping for all 3 orders? They get you good on shipping

I split my orders up to hedge against harsh graders, so the extra shipping cost is just the price I gotta pay and is pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of how much I have to pay to grade.

Does anyone have info on CGC BULK tier? I’ve heard the Economy tier is as fast as 4 business days, so I’m curious to know how quick bulk is going and if its worth bumping up to economy

Taking this opportunity to once again toot the horn of the Fanatics/CGC service.

Shipped cards 6 Dec
Arrived 10th
Graded, and back in my vault by the 23rd december… around 400 graded cards and 500 on CGC AUTH.
The AUTH cards were finished already by the 19th.

It took another 3/4 days to be appraised to allow me to list them on the buy now marketplace..

Price; 10$/card grading, 3$/card auth
