I submiited a coin & paid for express service on the grading tier. Submission was acknowledged on 1/23/25 as an Express order. Status Updates from the NGC site:
1/27/25: " Grading, Encapsulation, Imaging"
1/30/25: " Grading / Quality Control "
As of 2/26, status still shows "Grading / Quality Control" -- so it has been in the grading / QC queue for 18 business days.
I plan to contact them next week if no news today or tomorrow. . .
Asking those with NGC submittal experiences if this seems normal. Thank you.

NGC and PCGS are backed up. Some submissions are taking 30-45 days. I've had stuff graded in 10 days and as long as 45 days.

3 weeks seems a long time in quality control. It wouldn't hurt to call them, especially since you paid for express service.

Yeah, if you are paying extra for a timeframe, they should either keep that timeframe or refund the difference.

Paying for express I would've already contacted them.

Contacted them today. Submission was completed but "on hold"; their "system" said I didn't have a CC on file (even though I provided one in the Payment & Signature portion of the submittal form ). . . The CSR I spoke with was polite & professional, so there's that. . .he did explain they no longer offer the $5.00 upgrade to scratch-resistant holders.
Submission should be shipped out next week.

NGC return shipment notice (via email) received this morning.

FEDEX says it will arrive on St. Patrick's Day

You are correct, jbuck. . .
Before submission:

After:
