Title: IS customer service
Post by: fotoxalia on September 03, 2008, 06:03
After ten (10) weeks and i haven't receive my check from istock...
So i have contact with them either by their ticket system and directly by email (support mail address).
Guess what: two weeks have been passed but not a single word from their side!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
What can i say? Generally i like IS but their customer support service sucks.
Hope to find a way to catch my money.

I had an issue once with them. Rather than going through the long process of emails and support tickets, I called them on the phone and resolved the problem in 3 minutes. I don't know if this is feasible from your location, but it worked for me. Sorry you are having trouble with them.

I discovered one time that the Istock support emails was in my junk mail and I never see it with hotmail, until I look at this folder. I realised that I was able to receive the usual acceptance and rejection e-mails but, because the support was a different contact I suppose, hotmail putted it in the junk

i found out by using their forum that a few other members had the same problem.
So they decide to answer our emails and support tickets really fast!!!
They suggested two solutions: cancellation of the old check and repost a new one, or to transfer the funds by PayPal.
Im glad that their forum works this way.
Happy End!!!

Glad you finally got a response. 

If you have paypal, it is worlds faster than waiting for a check.  On average when I was waiting for checks from istock it took about three weeks.  I've never had paypal take longer than one.

I tried calling them three days ago about a Payoneer direct deposit that's been missing since Aug. 13th, and still haven't had my call returned.   >:(
