Still nothing at all. No movement. No nothing!

Curious if anyone has waiting longer than that for your Regular order to move from Arrived to Order Prep?? Thanks!
I have a Value Ultra Modern order that arrived 3-5 and a Regular order that arrived on 3-9.

The Value Modern hit entered and stage three a couple days ago and the regular is still not entered.

Had an Express order move to QA2 the morning of 4/19, list disappeared that afternoon, grades popped last night at 10:30PM ET... so a little more than a day after the list disappeared.

I was sweating it a little yesterday, after reading all the posts from folks with week or more gaps from list disappearing to grades popping!

Was a 3 card order that I expected would all be PSA 9. Only one of the cards did I honestly expect to have an actual shot at a PSA 10.

In perfect alignment with how my 2021 has been going so far... I got two 9's on the cards I knew would be 9's... and of course, the one card I thought had the best shot at a PSA 10... got an 8

I had a express order and a regular order that were entered 4 days apart. The regular order stayed at the exact same pace as the express order. My express spent 5 days at QA2 and my regular spent 18. That was the only difference in the two orders.

QA2 seems to be the difference here though. Mine spent 18 days in QA2 in a regular order and someone just mentioned their express only spent 2 days at QA2. It’s possible that express order could hit QA2 and ship before that regular leaves QA2.

To be fair, I only expected the Express to get out of grading by mid to late week. So the Regular is way ahead of schedule. Just makes no sense why a two card Express with a 90s card and a 2000s card fails to get through grading faster than a Regular that would have had to go through at least three graders.

My two cards were sent at different levels in early Februrary. Last Thursday, my 5 day express updated and there is a check mark for grading. On Monday, the 10 day was updated with a check mark for grading as well.

My question is, does anybody know how long the assembly and QA checks generally take?

Thanks in advance!

Varies. You could go through it quickly or be stuck in QA2 for 3 weeks following this thread.

The dates are so weird. My economy order was received by PSA 9/16, a few days before yours. Mine hit research&ID 10/16, one day after yours. Mine hit grading 11/16, months before yours. You hit assembly 4/7 and 4/9 and i'm still stuck in Grading.

At least I have hope i could see movement any day now.

For real lol. Sent 2 Bulks and an Express in the same box and they arrived on 3/8. Both bulks were entered last night and yet the Express still sits there untouched. Needless to say I shot off an email.

Sorry man...hopefully the two 9s make up for the 8 a little bit in terms of overall value.

Grades popped just now. Really strange order. First four are what I thought. The Jeter Stardates likely got dinged for the peeling right border, but every copy I've seen (including my 10) has that, so who knows. MJ Planet Metal is overgraded by 1-2 points. Guess I can see the MJ Ultra Gold as a 7, but pretty harsh IMO. The Kobe Shoetime is right, but wow they screwed up on the MJ. It has a large area of paper loss on the front that should have brought it down to a 2, maybe even a 1? I bought it for the scuffed up shoe piece and it's PC, so doesn't really matter, but certainly feels wrong.

Regular order "received" by PSA on 3/16 hasn't been logged yet

Hoping to start seeing some progress on that soon given the lack of incoming submissions

When grades “pop” where do I find them on the order page? I am reading off an iphone. I have had a 2-card express order in QA2 since 4/15.

If grades popped, there will be a little green check mark to the right of the order number, on the order screen. If so, click the order # to see the results.

Anyone have an order go to completed but not see grades? That's where I'm at right now, 1 card order that I had to do that way with a remaining CC Membership voucher. My card hasn't been charged yet so my guess is either an upcharge or something weird... Not sure what to think.
