Hi, passing by, here is an example:

I had certs on a ticker and deposited them into my trade account and they sat. After a week or so, I called my broker manager. He called the regional operations manager for the firm (in my case Scottrade) they had been holding on to them pending final verification of authenticity from the T/A.

In my case the T/A was no longer with the company and the voicemail to that extension sat un checked by management. So thrift dude that I am (if ya want it done ya gotta do it yourself kinda dude) I called phone numbers similar to the T/A extension ie 7203 and 7204 and whammm I found a real person at the company, I said that my broker was going to return my certs to me in another day or so if the company T/A did not verify authenticity (yada yada and a few grey hairs later) I got the company to do the verifiacation and the share were put in my account. It only took 2 weeks from the time I deposited them. Remember your broker will take the certs, place the phone call and leave a message for a returned call, then put them aside and move on to something else, ya gotta follow up and keep track of your dates, names, numbers etc.. ya gotta stay on these people like a cheap suit...its your money!! Best to you...
