lucky one - i estimate 60% of the march sales, and this is 50% of my shutterstock income from quite the same portfolio ... lets see what may will bring.

this ETR thing also misses weekends, holidays etc. IMO you can add another 2-4 days to the first estimation - in 90% of submissions the result will be closer to the actual review time than this software ever was.

I only wonder why they do not add these 2 days by default; at the moment there is always at least one weekend between submission and approval.

StockXpert: amazingly quick (same day approval, ~1-5 hours)

SS: still very quick, but now half as fast as last year (~1 day now)

IS: depending on the queue length between 4-10 days ... I just got used to this ...

DT: once pretty quick (~3 days), now for most of the time the slowest in town (up to ~12 days in the last months). their ETR timer is both hilarious and annoying; it's simply depressing when  it decreases ~4 hours within a complete day 24 hourd day. a quite nonsense feature IMO.
