I too share your frustrations on time. I have been under the understanding that once packages are dropped off, they still have to be scanned individually as they are processed to leave that facility. From what I've gathered, the Post Office is overwhelmed. My belief is that a GM representative drops off packages daily and the PO gets to them as quickly as they can, which isn't quick, unfortunately. I'm sure the sheer volume is nuts. But there are other sellers who do heavy volume that don't have this problem.
One of the things that led me to believe this is what's going on, aside from my wife formerly working for USPS... I had a package sit for 8 days waiting on the Acceptance Pending scan. I got typical BS about the Post Office being slow from GM so I opened a case with USPS. I got a call from USPS, explained further the package had never made it out of LA, and magically within an hour, the package was scanned and on it's way to the LA processing center. That couldn't happen if GM still had the cards.
I'll also add, I am a big fan. I do think their "grading" has slipped some recently. But overall, it's still a positive. One thing I don't like to do, but have on a couple of occasions is return a card. Again, one of the benefits of using them is they have a no questions asked return policy and will even send you a return label. I have bought a ton of cards from them within the last year, and will keep doing so. But the shipping and sometimes off grading has slowed me down some. Ok, just a little. ha ha
