Hmm, my express order was moving along nicely at 1 step per day last week but now stuck in QA2 since Thursday. Not a long time, but definitely not hitting the 5 business day turnaround

Did you put the barcode on the outside your package? If not, it will take over a week to process as they say.

Sent in some more of my press passes so they have to do actual research to verify, or so I assume.

I also wonder if they just have fewer people grading tickets.

One of my recent submissions was delivered on Feb 27th and did not get entered until March 20th. I have a feeling submissions with this big of a delay are being shipped to the New Jersey office. They possibly sit around the California receiving center until they get a sufficient amount to send to NJ and then they send all those at once. Just a theory.

Packs are moving quite slowing... I don't think they will be done in the 90 days estimated by PSA.

Is the first view option working for anyone who had recent submissions entered? It's not working on all four of mine that are in the grading stage.

Yeah packs are moving much slower than normal grading. The last one I sent in a few months back took close to 3 months. I have a value pack order there now that was entered on 2/1 and is still sitting in research and ID...

Checking in has been slow over the last week. I have 5 orders (2 bulk, 3 value) that have been on "Arrived" since last week.
