Image in QC for a long time

[Loren44 0]

Hi, it's been a long time I notice a lot of slowness in checking the images send. The situation has probably worsened with the pandemic, in my case I have to wait up to a month to be approved.

If the images are not approved then I have to wait another ten days before uploading again. In my opinion it is too long time, we both waste time and money.

Thanks

I have been with Alamy since 2008 and I am still waiting up to 5 weeks for submissions to pass QC. There is no favouritism shown to any regardless.

That is concerning and not good for you or Alamy. 

My QC rating is 3 stars and I am only waiting one day for images to be passed with submissions going in every few days so not sure why you and others are experiencing long delays.

I understand the frustration.

I would take it up with Alamy via email to contributors@alamy.com

They are helpful and may be able to tell you if there is any reason.

Good luck.

Same here, 3 stars a no more than a day usually unless it's a weekend.

Whilst the delay may be unwelcome Alamy have worked to this qc standard for a long time so they don't think they are wasting time and money.

 

Learning the qc standard and working to it is not that hard.
