Hi,
What is the average review time at Shutterstock and Fotolia in these days?

Shutterstock has been under 24 hours, Fotolia 3-5 days.

Switch that for vectors. Around 2 days at SS, usually a matter of hours at FT.

At FT usually a couple of hours (or minutes sometimes) for vectors and a few days for photos 2-3 days is what I usually see. My last batch at SS took round 36 hours give or take.

wow, you all have some quick times with fotolia. i usually get 3-4 days. would it matter that i'm new?

I've always had incredibly fast review times at Fotolia. Images are often approved before I finish uploading them to other sites - maybe because they have separate reviewer teams for vectors and photos, and the queue for vectors is smaller?

Shutterstock, anything from 1-5 days. Latest batch was 1 day
