A. MONTHLY CONSOLIDATED BATCH DISPATCH

  Howayte dispatches consolidated grading submissions to PSA once per month the beginning of every calendar month. Cards submitted at any point during the current month are securely vaulted in our facility until the upcoming official monthly batch shipment is dispatched.

B. TURNAROUND TIMES & ORDER PROCESSING DEFINITION

All turnaround times provided by PSA are strictly ESTIMATES AND NOT GUARANTEED TIMELINES. The estimated completion timeframe (business days) begins ONLY once PSA formally enters and starts active processing of the order in their system—NOT from the date Howayte receives your cards, nor from the physical delivery date of the package at PSA facilities.

C. INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS & POTENTIAL BARCODE / SORTING DELAYS Howayte utilizes premium express shipping couriers (such as DHL) for high-security transit. However, in rare instances during transit or initial receiving,PSA package submission barcodes may become damaged or torn. In such events, PSA places the shipment into an internal sorting & troubleshooting facility prior to intake, introducing an unavoidable delay of 4 to 8 weeks before active grading processing can begin.

D. CARRIER CONTROL, PSA UPCHARGES BAHRAIN CUSTOMS - OPERATIONAL CONTROL: Once cards are shipped, Howayte has no direct control over courier transit times, customs clearance procedures, or PSA internal grading capacity and turnaround pacing.

- PSA SERVICE UPCHARGES: Howayte staff will do their best to assist determining the appropriate grading service level based on estimated post- grade market value. However, PSA reserves the right to re-evaluate card values and issue service tier upcharges. The customer is solely responsible for covering any additional PSA upcharge fees before cards are released.

- BAHRAIN CUSTOMS DUTIES: Bahrain Customs levies duties and import taxes on incoming commercial shipments from PSA. Any customs fees assessed on a batch shipment will be proportionately distributed and billed across all card owners included in that specific received shipment.
