Hi everybody!
I have noticed some delay on SS approval time. I have batches been in queue from the 8th of January. And my "batches" are usually of no more than 3 photos. Has anyone else noticed this delay ?

Thanks.

Nope. My batchs are 20~30 files each, and Editorial take less a day, and others around 1-3 Days.

Actually what happened was that I emailed them the problem, all batches were approved in an hour and after a couple of hours they replied that they don't see anything in the inspection queue (naturally) !! Well, I swear I am clean for over a year !!! Wink

Thanks for your input.
Cheers!

To me it looks like they're reviewing in record time. Some recent batches have been approved in under an hour lately.

Yep. Mine have been piling up. Very odd. Some have been in there over a week. Must be all those iStock ex-exclusives flooding the cue. Wink

Speaking as a very recently iStock ex-exclusive, there isn't much point loading up the queue until the 30 day notice is almost up otherwise your images will be 30 days old when they become active. I'll be loading up my queue starting around the 15th Feb to make sure I have plenty of fresh files once I can make them available. Between now and then I'm only uploading a few here or there as "test" files to see what works and what doesn't at SS. I realise reviews and reviewers vary, but I have learned a few things alreayd in terms of differences between iStock and SS. Some rejected on iStock have been accepted at SS and vice versa.

So in answer to your post, they could be iStock ex-exclusives but they have had to quit iStock mid December.

ETA: As an aside my last batch inspected took a bit more than 3 days. I have a whole 13 images in my portfolio now!

Uploaded a batch on the 22nd and it was approved within hours. Uploaded another batch the same day after the approval and it's still sitting there. Very weird.
