Should I cut ties with PSA and just ask for my money and cards back?

[BrandonG]

This is why I'm glad I live 15 minutes from the PSA headquarters. Every last Friday of the month they have a walk in day, with one day turnaround. I drop it off at 10am, and my items are ready at 4pm.

I wouldn't be against helping some of you out by taking your items to the walk in day if I'm going there anyway. Just a matter of you getting your items to me.

Do they still have psa Friday? I thought they abandoned that idea

Be patient ....and sell me the cards after PSA gets them back to you!

PSA is odd. When you think they will come back quick, they don't. And vice versa. At least that has been my experience.

Turns out all of my complaining resulted in being told my cards will ship on Monday. I'm happy about that but feel like PSA shouldn't keep their customers in the dark about the status of their orders. I don't think it's too much to ask that I am kept in the loop.

I sent in some World Series autograph balls along with a bunch of other stuff. It took 2 full months for me to get them back. I called 3 times to just be told that they were still being processed. I finally had to demand that someone tell me where my stuff was. They finally sent them back with a free $50 voucher for taking so long. World Series balls are rather time sensative to sell and 2 months of waiting really hurt the resale value. I also had an Ichiro Suzuki ball that I watched get autographed at the 2005 All-Star game not pass. That was $35 well spent.

"you're asking too much. they don't have enough staff to keep everyone "in the loop"

I sure hope this was sarcasm.

I run my own business repairing and restoring fly rods. It is something I do on the side to supplement my income. I also have a full time job. In winter, I have a lot of rods coming through my shop. If someone called me inquiring about their rod and I told him/her I'm busy right now, I can't tell you anything about it( and I can guaranty I'm busier than anyone at PSA), I wouldn't have a business. I understand their business is a lot bigger than mine, but that is no excuse for poor customer service. Maybe I'm just old fashioned and still believe that the quality of your customer service is just as important as the quality of your work.

no, it was not. unlike you, psa is not a one man operation. the CS person can't just run down to the basement and check on the order. and it wasn't a "we're busy right now, can't take your call". the order was in process, that's their SOP. if he wanted the cards back faster he shouldn't have used the minimum service and encapsulation, then get mad when it didn't pop on time or them having more info (for a 2 card/20 business days order). don't be unrealistic, you get what you pay for.
