Are the photos in pending?  They are the fastest site for reviews and very fair.  Perhaps they take longer on a first batch?  I would give them a few more days and then contact them.

If you have a new model release it can take a while and I got a good response when I first loaded MR and queried. If only I could sell more there it would be my favourite site!

Hi bartee,

I checked to see if I could find your unanswered support ticket,  but it looks like your username must not be the same on CanStockPhoto. We usually reply to tickets quite quickly, but have not got through everything from this morning.

Nevertheless, there are only a few possible reasons why images might be held up:
- New model releases. Each model release has to be approved by our legal staff first before the associated images can be released for inspection. This can sometimes take a couple of days. But once the release has been accepted, the images will no longer be held up.
- Videos. They go through a separate process and take a fair bit longer to approve.
- Specific keywords. There are some keywords that may flag the image for review by our legal team. Although rare, this can make the associated images take a fair bit longer to be approved.

I would assume in your case it's model release related. But if the above does not seem to fit your case, just contact us through support. If you've already done this, PM me the support link you were sent by email, so that I can personally check up on it.

I've been uploading a lot lately (more than would be typical if it was just a week's shoot). Although CanStock is faster than many of the sites, I have found the numbers given for reviews are completely out of line with how long my images take to review.

I have a batch of 100 images waiting since Tuesday, for example. No new model releases or property releases. I have been caught by the keyword thing - I used Olympic to describe the mountains outside Seattle in one shot and that got the image flagged for special treatment.

I put the delay down to the new site, but reading that other people have had quick reviews recently, it must be the larger batches? Over the last few weeks, as I've gone to the site to see if the images were approved (at which point I upload more) I've seen all these 4 hours, 5 minutes, etc. review times, and honestly, it makes being patient much, much harder than seeing nothing at all

Ok, I must say that after all, its still going slow and that 8/29 minutes etc is just a trick to get more submitters.

I got photos uploaded 3 days ago with releases that were previously accepted (so cannot say that it takes more cause of releases).

I dont have anything aganinst CanStockPhoto but u shouldnt advertise like that if u cant pull it off later.

For me ShutterStock is 100% great. They accept within 3 - 6 hours and its all going really smooth
