TeeCee Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Way back in June I sold a photo (via a distributor), four months on payment is still awaiting clearance. Previous distributor sales have cleared in a fairly reasonable time scale – I’m guessing this is just a lousy distributor who’s a little tardy about paying their bills. Anyone else have similar issues? And just a thought, personal use licenses by their nature won’t be purchased on an account, they’ll simply be paid for by credit card, so how come (Alamy Finance Team please jump in here) these don’t clear within 24 hours?

spacecadet Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Don't hold your breath (or rather do) for a distributor. Allow 6 months. No doubt PUs do clear, but the contract says 6 weeks, so 6 weeks it is. I suppose it allows for chargebacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmj Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I've waited 11 months for a distributor, and it wasn't worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 I also have a distributor sale from May, not yet cleared. I checked with Alamy and they say it takes a while for these to clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeCee Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 Well, in my case, it's purely academic anyhow, as by the time the distributor gets paid, and Alamy have their commission, I'll be someway short of being able to buy a pint of Doom Bar. Don't think much of the distributors credit control systems - what are they doing - going round on foot asking for a cheque? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnie5 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Maybe the Alamy distributors collection departments look something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
