Fully boxed and packaged like for mail?

Just cardsavers and the forms?

Thanks.

I emailed psa yesterday about 3 orders that were delivered as per USPS 6/8 but still not logged yet. I wonder if I will receive a response...

Unlikely. They are buried.

Anyone else stuck in QA2? Been there for over a week, usually it is at most 2 days in my experience, but who knows what normal is these days..

as of this writing my grades have STILL not popped on a November '19 bulk submission. seeing all these 2020 orders come through is just so strange considering how many months my bulk order was in before. what an absolute clownshow to take 9 months and counting to fill an order.

Still nothing. All of our cards are pretty much being held hostage by PSA.

Why? Takes up to 3 days to get, more reliable than USPS. Win-win

Priority usps always came in 2 to 3 days. Been that way for 10 years.

So far, not impressed

Probably a covid thing. I ship about 30-50 packages a day. Using USPS was very unreliable, had to switch to Fedex. I'm not a fan of USPS even if it means waiting an extra 1-2 days

This is new. FedEx ground was supposed to deliver on Fri, 7/3. I figured it was a holiday and expected delivery today. When I track the package, it says "Delivery exception. Future delivery requested." and no scheduled delivery date anymore.

Thanks.
At that time in February just card savers and the forms. I went in and saw Sean S., read off the cards on my form, and he went through and made sure they were all there, and in the correct order and that was it. I made an appointment about two weeks ago, and got an email with a list of instructions about 3 pages long. Basically said to pack up your cards as if you were shipping them yourself, in a box completely sealed with tape, forms, etc. They gave a number to text when you got there. Then wait for a call, then wait for someone to come outside, wait for another call, etc. I cancelled after reading all the instructions and just shipped them myself that time around. Also, a few days ago I got an email about NJ drop-offs where they now require you to sign a waiver basically releasing them of any responsibility if there's an issue/damage with your order. I'd rather just pay the $25-$30 and ship myself now.

Thanks! I agree with you... if it was like your first experience I would have done that. With what you describe now, I'll just ship myself.

I feel fortunate to end up with 67% Gem rate. Was dreading the possibility of a sub 30% grader. The order is 74 ultra-modern cards mostly Bowman Chrome.

Order Type: Bulk
# of cards: 100
Order shipped: 2/7
Order received per PSA: 2/18
Research & ID: 2/18
Grading: 6/26
Assembly: 6/27
QA1: 6/28
QA2: 7/6
Shipped: 7/7

PSA = 98 days
Calendar = 152 days (estimated return shipping days)

I have a bulk order logged in 1/3/20 that is still showing in research. I finally called today and they were helpful in trying to break my order out of research jail. What I found interesting was today is just day 100 in their system given Covid delays being taken out of the count.

They told me last Wednesday that my 1/7 bulk order was on day 101. They are really clueless.
