Did your 20 day submissions arrive approximately 20 business days after receiving the order received email? Or does my Order Received email, along with my CC being charged, mean that my cards are to be delivered soon?

Thanks for your help.

Just means your cards will be graded within a week.
We all would like that email within a few days after submitting (LIKE THEY USED TO DO!).

Sorry for the questions, first time and I can't seem to find the exact answers I'm looking for. Your information helps a bit, but can you answer for the time from when I would receive them after grading?

Should I expect 20 business days starting with 11/19/12 as the 1st business day?

If you hand them in at the show...expect that Wednesday/Thursday to be your first day counted. Then add the days NOT COUNTING WEEKEND DAYS OR HOLIDAYS to your grading service (10 days, 20 days, 45 days).
If you Mail them in count the NEXT day after your delivery confirmation says it was delivered.

20 days service usually takes about 1 month exactly.
Fed Ex ground usually takes about 3-6 days depending on your location.
Registered USPS can take up to 2 weeks because registered moves much slower (priority mail does not matter, it will still be slower).
