Thing is its still 5 days to the promised pay out date to plan on the basis that will arrive earlier than promised is not good practice imho.

I never plan on getting paid before the 15th. However, I also never plan on getting really drunk and losing more money than expected in Vegas... but these things happen. As a result, I was looking for solutions, possibilities and eventualities that might result in me getting hold of some money before the 15th. And although they say the 15th, it's usually before the 15th, so it's not like it's a pigs might fly/hell freezing over kind of situation. If I'd divided my money and put twelve equal bets every month, on SS paying out before the 15th over the coming year, then I think I'd be onto a winner!

Fair dos at least you didn't get married while you were there (I hope!). I don't keep records and to be fair I think this is very late for SS

Please don't ask questions on here or risk offending the wise and get accused of "freaking out." Especially if you are new. You should just know this stuff without asking. That's not what forums are for.

In 10 years, Shutterstock has never, ever, even once, paid on the 15th, or the 14th for that matter.

in the last 26 months, SS has paid on the

5th  2 times
6th 5 times
7th 16 times
8th 3 times
They paid on the 9th last month and the 10th this month.
Both of those are the latest I have ever seen.

In Copenhagen now. It's not any cheaper, but at least there's not a slot machine in sight!

We were all on the edge of our seats waiting for the answer to the question, when exactly does Shutterstock pay out? And the answer is when you're in LA time. Now I can go back to watching paint dry.  ;)

I think they pay out in some other time zones, but maybe a little bit later. Or earlier.

I also got my money in my Skrill account on Sunday. It was my first payment from shutterstock so I am very excited :)

dbvirago, new or not, ss is very clear on when you get paid, before the 15th, any moaning before the 15th is just that

Who's moaning?

Astonished

My experience is that SS is very consistent with payouts. No need to open topics when they haven't paid out before the 15th. I understand people are used to being paid out before the 15th but really, SS doesn't need to pay before the 15th

It seems there is also a problem processing US cheques directly into Italian bank accounts.  Just can't be done for now...they say...so March payment still sitting around.
Be warned!  >:(
