So I just had my first PSA order listed as completed today and my CC was charged. Was just wondering how long after completion it takes for them to ship (I'm in Vegas if that matters)? I'll be out of town on the 24th for 2 weeks and feel like I'm going to miss the delivery. I would have access to mail where I'm staying while out of town (it's my families house so if it got delivered there even after I left it wouldn't be a big deal). Can I still change where my order is shipped at this stage of the process? Thanks in advance for any advice!

It typically only takes a business day or two for it to ship from my prior experience. It also usually arrives the next day.

Thanks for the helpful response Dereth! I think I'll try and give them a call tomorrow (I've heard that is a nightmare). In the spirit of most posts in this thread it was a 22 card value bulk order that PSA picked up from their P.O. Box on 3/2 and was marked completed today on 4/15

My last Assembly green check mark took two weeks to get to complete, and then another 3 or 4 days after that to get to shipping, then 3 days in transit (it was over a weekend). So 3 weeks from Assembly being "finished" to me actually getting the cards in hand... On an Express order of all things!

Had a 50 card order in Grading for a few weeks, then all of a sudden in less than two days, hit Assembly, Grades Ready, and Shipped!

Grades were more than disappointing.

50 Card Order -
9 - 10's
18 - 9's
14 - 8's
2 -7's
6 - 6's
1 - 5

These were mostly 80s and 90s cards. Thirty of these I pack pulled myself and looked over.. They were seemingly flawless (I've done this two other times with the same box and have gotten mostly 10's and some 9's (an occasional 8's)).

The 5 and one of the 8's weren't graded in a previous order. I resubbed them and now they're good?

Some of these are getting resubbed.

I had my grades pop today and an hour later I received my Tracking number.

Assembly completed a few days ago for a Value Bulk order but still no grades. Guessing there is a billing backup? Not sure what else needs to be completed before making grades available.

MLB Special
44 cards
Arrived to PSA 3/2
Grades popped 4/18

38/41 gem - 92.7% (3 N9 no grade)
2/41 got 9s, but one was expected to get no better than 9.
1/41 got an 8, as predicted.

1 card graded lower than predicted (got a 9 instead of a 10)
8 cards graded higher than predicted (predicted 9, got 10)

If you have anything slabbed mint or worse and you think it should gem, crack and send in one of these specials. Grading seems to be on the lenient side.

Considering it has an expected completion date of 5/31 that is lightning fast. Plan to take advantage of this and send another this month since they extended the modern discount to April!
Grades posted and shipped today. So value bulk took around a month.

Perhaps you're right about that and I've been fortunate with my previous submissions. It just seemed low to me when a lot of the 7's and 8's were pack pulled and seemed like 9-10s all day.

I'll just resub some.

Appreciate the insight.
