They already came out a long time ago. Unless I am seeing it wrong, it looks like that thread was deleted. The 20 day grades were posted in it also.

It's 10 or 20 business days, but the day after Thanksgiving is considered a holiday.

I don't know what is considered the starting point, if it's the 20th, or if it's the first business day after that.

+1. Seems really slow. This stuff had to have been shipped to BGS after Thanksgiving or via bicycle. After a while I start wondering if it got there at all. Simply posting the tracking number here of the package shipped to BGS each month should be an extended courtesy and doing so would eliminate most of these questions/posts. It wouldn't take more than 30 seconds of time to quell all the submitters' anxiety.

Probably won't see anything on these until atleast the 20th because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Don't worry. He will post them when they come.

One of four things happened: This order did either not even get to BGS until at least a week beyond Thanksgiving (meaning it was sent via bicycle, registered, or simply shipped quite late) meaning the two days vacation for BGS employees is a moot point, this order was not shipped to BGS, the entire order was mistakenly submitted for 20 day service, or BGS is late putting out the grades. Life does happen. Simple communication goes a long way. Yet another reason to take 30 seconds and post the tracking number to BGS so we can all see when it got there and easily figure out when the grades are due. I'm hesitant to submit more stuff if this extremely simple step cannot be done or I can make payment via check directly to BGS. I'm certainly skipping December. I don't like the anxiety of not knowing where my stuff is and not knowing when it is coming back. If the stuff is shipped there two weeks late then my Paypal payment is also a two week loan I did not sign up for. The only reason I did 10-day service this time was to get the stuff back quickly. Had I known it would have been two weeks or more late I simply would have paid the extra $4/card and sent them myself. Time is money. My employer is shifting payroll from the home office to the California office and the California bastards will hold back a week of pay on the Jan 13 check. These cards will fill the gap if I get them sold before then. Tick-tock.

Ya well said...

Time is money and that is the truth...A very simple tracking # would resolve alot of issue's and questions.....I only had 1 card and not to much in a hurry...I can see some member's placed alot and I can see why they might be on egg shells..

It's going on 30 days soon...A very simple reply would of helped...Even if he couldn't get access I am sure somebody can post for him..

I talked to Phil today and the November 10-Days are on the way back to him. They have not been posted to the BGS site because BGS is having major technical issues. I guess we'll find out when they arrive in Phil's hands.

I have corroborated the BGS problems with my insider. No word on when BGS will get its software issues settled. The pop report is not updating either so that backdoor method of figuring out grades no good. #fail.

Yeah, most of the BGS site hasn't worked since October. Pretty pathetic for a major company like that to have a mostly unusable site.
More like hasnt' worked in about 4 or 5 years. Beckett's tech savy people either aren't that savy or Beckett is really really cheap.
