I really wish there was the "sorry I was being cheap when I submitted my books, can I just send you the extra money for fast track... Because I don't want to wait 4 1/2 months" form I could submit...

Usually CGC gets their moderns back to 2 months during this time of year when there are less conventions to attend.

Four moderns received 6/23/15.

 

Two weeks ago they said they're in Encapsulation/QC and to check back in two weeks.

 

I called back two weeks later and they said they're in Encapsulation/QC and to check back in two weeks.

 

 

22 weeks and STILL waiting.

Last time I called was over three weeks ago and they said my books are almost ready would "go out" in a few days.

CGC.... THIS is why you don't get very much of my business.

Why would they care? They're swamped.
