Jill Morgan Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 They must really be on the ball at QC. Last night submitted 26 photos. About 3 in the morning UK time. By 11 a.m. my time, they had passed QC. 12 hour turn around. My fastest ever! Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Morgan Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Even faster today. Uploaded 11 p.m. last night, were already passed when I checked at 8:30 this morning (my time). So that's 9.5 hour turn around time or faster. This is very unusual for me. Maybe my good QC record is paying off. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually its always a couple of days, sometimes up to 5. Not sure how I got so lucky twice in a row. Just got in the right queue I guess.

Jill I also have an excellent QC record but still seem to have to wait until Saturday morning to pass irrespective of when I upload. Pearl I used to be a fully paid-up member of the Saturday Morning Club, despite not having a fail for a couple of years. I am now usually cleared in a couple of days at most. Still not sure how it works, but even a week has got to be better than a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arletta Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 OMG! I hear that song in my head everytime I do edit Thanks for explanations Edit, My files passed after less than one day which is not usuall Very fast, very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Given all the trials and tribulations involved in just being human, I'm really surprised that people still get exercised about QC times Despite an excellent QC record (at one point 5 years of continous passes) I've never had a batch go through in less than two days, and the norm is three or four. I really don't care as long as they pass. Sales have completely dried up anyway so I don't suppose an extra day or two off the shelves is going to make any difference.

John Mitchell Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Two days is usually the longest I have to wait and within 12 hours isn't uncommon. As mentioned in previous threads, it could sometimes take months for stock agencies to get images up for sale in the "old days." Very s..l..o..w month for sales for me as well.

Pearl Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 For those of us who have to wait longer it is probably because Alamy's editors are spending time selecting lots of images to go into Creative. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerinF Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh dear, been waiting since 25 Jan, admittedly a Sunday. Always depressing to read about quick turn arounds! Can't think what in this batch could be to blame. Wasn't anything I thought was marginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm wondering if you have a good record and the batch you submit is of a size where none of the pictures are subject to random manual inspection, then perhaps the batch just gets passed automatically (no point in delaying the batch). If, irrespective of reputation, some shots are scheduled for checking then you are queued along with the rest. That might account for the wild inconsistencies. Alamy?

If, irrespective of reputation, some shots are scheduled for checking then you are queued along with the rest. That might account for the wild inconsistencies. Alamy? Can't think why it might be, but I am in the club along with Philippe and Jill (I'm the quiet guy at the back ). Things started speeding up in mid-Nov and since mid-Dec nearly every submission (17 total) has gone through in 8-24 hours: amazing! Individual submissions in that time have ranged between 2 and 11 images (exc. News). I also have only one fail in 375 submissions. So I'm guessing small, regular submissions with a good record is the key here? OTOH, it could just be totally random! For those of us who have to wait longer it is probably because Alamy's editors are spending time selecting lots of images to go into Creative. Pearl You could be right! Can I join your club?

KerinF Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 So 25 Jan just passed, my slowest ever...re Saturday Morning Club - it is Saturday morning here, but still Friday most places. Is the SMC a broad church and welcomes all time zones? I eas going to go hiking today but now will hole up in a dim room and code photos? Do I get a membership pass for that?

Lynn Palmer Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Two small batches from the 28th (evening of the 27th in my time zone) still waiting for QC. Pretty normal for me so I'm not alarmed yet. Edit: They passed the following morning, early on the 31st. No complaints from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This is getting silly. Just checked my 25 and 30 January submissions and they've passed. E-mail advisory timed at 23:48 (GMT). India office will be too early for anyone to be about, UK office well abed, US office - who's doing overtime on a Friday night? Is there a secret Australian or New Zealand QC bunker we don't know about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 My 4 uploads starting Sunday 25th have all just passed QC. I don't understand why some of us have to wait so long whilst others sail through the next day. Passing the next day allows a much smoother and more efficient workflow but i wouldn't mind if we all had to wait, it's the discrimination that I really object to.

Abiyoyo Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I do not know why but since last month I am part of the next day passed QC. Maybe for having good CTR? Definitely not for sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arletta Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Uploaded batch yestarday afternoon, approved today morning, one more time very fast (is it actual norm?) and no email with info as usually so need to check personally (or notice it by accident ). Btw, I have small problem - where will I find all my model releases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
