Title: Very long pending time
Post by: SenjorPomidor on May 03, 2016, 09:37
Hello,
I am new to selling stock and I've recently uploaded some photos to dreamstime,istock,shutterstock and alamy.
Shutterstock and alamy are reviewing my photos in no time.to the other two it is taking more than 2 weeks and still,no response.
Do you consider it normal to those agencies?   :-\

Yes, for iStock, if indie/non-exclusive, especially at the moment (many inspectors were in Paris for a 'lypse).

Don't believe the Dreamstime review countdown. The number is based on something, but I've had images go UP in review time before.

+1 Month on P5 is worst, maybe that's why people are abandoning the ship there.

I have images pending for more than two month on Panthermedia…
With (only) two weeks I would be very happy…

All sites are getting slower in recent months. It would be an overall increase of sellers, and thus an increase in uploads?
