Reviews taking over months now I present the 'Monthly Shame Award' to DT.

P.S.
If you want Christmas your images to be available by October of this year you better start uploading them now. Thanks DT for being so caring for its contributors we love you

I'd vote a couple of agencies above dreamstime in those stakes.

I agree with you.. pathetic review time.

And to add more, they are rejecting a lot of designs.
Designs which gets approved by shutterstock, fotolia, depositphotos, iStock, 123RF is rejected by dreamstime.

Many thanks dreamstime for doing so, you and your review team for doing such a great job, I love you people.

Yes, "File not processed yet. "

Batch of images uploaded on the 11th to top 5 excluding IS
SS and FT approved next day
DT approved today (10 days)
123 still pending
Last time I uploaded to IS it was about 2 weeks

DT not the slowest then

This thread reminded me to check my DT sales.
And yes, there has been sales. More than usual even.
Thats good.

Review times? Who cares?
DT... I cannot really be serious with them. They are some I check the downloads from, when Im reminded and upload to, when I have nothing else to do.
Untill now, they have not annoyed me, so I havent pulled my port.

not too worried about the actual review time but I'm having a lot of files upload with lines through them.
Also when I upload there's like 3 copies of the same file trying to load.

Yes, can't really think of a month when DT would win this particular competition with some of the others out there.

DT is reviewing faster than CS at the moment though.

Try using stocksubmitter software, Julie - it will take the pain out of submitting entirely. If only I had it 10 years ago! I probably would have at least 25%-50% more images online.

Mac version coming soon... but for now you can install an old version of Windows XP if you have a copy laying around, using boot camp or parallels. Kind of a pain, but it will be worth your while. Or, just be patient a few more months for the Mac release.

My uploads show pending 150+ hours until review for weeks without changing and lately half of what I upload never makes it to the unfinished files stage at all. If I go into upload images I see files trying to upload with those little hourglass icons from weeks ago. Tried every browser too. It's very frustrating.I've written to them but haven't heard back yet. I was thinking I had better upload my new Christmas shots soon or they'll have to wait until 2016.

Sales on DT have been climbing steadily over the past few month, so it's particularly frustrating since these images could be earning if they would just review them.

So review time seems to be about 10 days - the etr is pretty meaningless. FTP upload seems to be ok but I only produce small volumes.
