How long must I wait?

Here how it went:

#1) Sent coins on 5/14. (3 separate invoices)

#2) NGC recorded receipt 5/16.

#3) Checked online 30-40 times per day!

#4) 5 of 6 coins QC Dept. 5/19

#5) Checked online 30-40 times per day!

#6) 5 of 6 coins Finalized 6/2

#7) Checked online 30-40 times per day!

#8) ASE 08/07Rev. still in QC.

How long do moderns take in QC? I realize that they are probably up to their necks in ASE's but how much longer do I have to wait? I know that by the schedule I still have until mid next week for the DUE date, so I'll just hang in there and wait. According to their chart, this ASE was a designation, not a grading scenario. That turn around time is now 10 days, I think.??

If someone has any valid reasons that I am not aware of,(there could be many things on THAT list!) please help me to learn and end the state of confusion I am in.

On an off note, I had to put my dog of 14 years down today. I was ready for it, but truly you are never really ready.

Thanks for letting me rant for a while fellow coiners!!!
