How long is the average review time these days.

I have images waiting since 01/ 05. That means 12 days. I had a couple (from april) that were reviewed and tought maybe now images were reviewed in respect of their date.

But 12 days is quite long

That is a bit too long. When the review times slowed down recently it went to about 7 days. If it has been that long I would check with support.

I'll wait till tomorrow monday.

The images from 29/04 were reviewed only a couple of days ago.
I have images waiting from 01/05 ; 02/05 ; 11/05 and 12/05

11 & 12 is normal. 01 & 02 seems too long

But yet they send you the following email after you upload.

Quote:
Dear Shutterstock Contributor,

Thank you for your recent upload to Shutterstock, which we have received and are reviewing. For reference, your latest upload is batch #00000000 on account #000000.

Please allow 72 hours for your photos to be processed. In many cases we can complete a review in as little as 48 hours, but during times of high volume it may take longer. Initial review of new accounts may take 7 to 10 days.

Thank you for choosing Shutterstock. We value your creative contributions to our library.

Best regards,
The Shutterstock Team

And yet in another thread they tell you the following.

And i have Editorials waiting that usually are reviewed fairly quick and if they get to 2 days i will be sending out emails.

And there is another thread where people sent SS an email and they were told it could take ten days so anymore they themselves have no idea how long it will take!

I've been waiting for 13 days. Although this doesn't seem to be unusual, contributors are their bread and butter and they need to be honest with them about the actual time involved.

+1

It seems review times can take up to 7 days. But people waiting 14 days better email support.

Now the batch from 10/05 and 13/05 passed, but the batches from 01/05 and 02/05 are still pending.
That would mean they don't SEE the earlier batches, which means it is another bug probably

Stranged, I was almost getting used to waiting at least 6-7 days before getting photos reviewed, but I got one batch reviewed in 3-4 days yesterday.
