I'm getting back on the Alamy horse again after about a year... what's the current Q like these days? I just uploaded a batch and they said can be up to 25 days! I sure hope not...

It has been at least 3 weeks for all of my uploads but some people are lucky and don't have to wait so long.

Always about 3 weeks for me.  My current que will be 3 weeks on Christmas

My last batch submitted at the beginning of February was approved today so the queue seems to be coming down.

They have indicated reviews within 48 hours by the end of Q1 this year.

As a side note Photoshelter are pretty quick too, although their disambiguation is like IS!

After my initial  batch of 4 was accepted in 3 days, I uploaded a batch of 33 on 13 Jan, and it was accepted today, 13 feb, so exactly a month. Glad to say they passed QC!!!
