Title: Is dreamstime is the slowest in reviewing files for you?
Post by: lola on March 14, 2011, 21:01

Is it just me?  It's been over a week for a couple of images - no other site I'm with takes that long...

If that's the norm then fine - just wondering what your experience is.

No they're not the slowest for me (I'm on another site that took 2 months to review files I uploaded in January).  The longest I waited on DT was 2 weeks or so but that was during the holidays.  I would write support if it goes longer than 3.  I think I remember reading that somewhere on their message board awhile back.

DT is usually 4-7 days, depending on when you put the files online; they usually do not review on weekends;  I have other sites that are much longer

No, compared to Veer, PantherMedia or 123rf these days they are fast like ninja.


Edit: It seems that if you say "ninja" your images at 123 are approved within hour.

Okay, that ninja thing only worked once... but I can add that it amazes me how Canstock can approve photos before they even appear in your unfinished section at Dreamstime.  Sheesh... I uploaded 2 hours ago and they are still not there.

Fotolia are the fastest (of the 4 I use), then SS, DT pretty slow but these sites approve the vast majority of submissions.  IS take weeks and then reject virtually everything  >:(

interesting....

fotolia takes almost as long as dreamstime for me - definitely not the fastest.  The fastest is canstock and shutterstock in my case.

Wow - getty is 3 months - how can anyone want to wait that long - are sales that great there?

And IS - 2 weeks, I guess I'm spoiled with the under-a-week group...

Only iStock (2 weeks as has already been said) and Veer are slower for me.

ROFL @ the 'Ninja' thing.
