Ya know with a week or more on card approvals, a couple of weeks min to be picked up in the search system, then 5 days to a week or so for delivery -- you may be pushing it already for St. Patrick's. . . and I do believe that fast track is for custom orders or requests from customers, not just for pushing through cards for a holiday that should have been posted weeks before. Huh

Reply #5 - Feb 16^th, 2010, 12:18am I know this wasn't the original question so we've gotten a bit side tracked..sorry Peggy....I just hope no one is using the fast track for their own gain....that would not only be wrong but a shame too.

Have to agree here. Fast track is NEVER used for cards that have been created late for an upcoming holiday UNLESS Mindy posts and asks us to use the feature to fill a new category.

We really should be working on Mother's Day, Father's Day and Graduation if we have any hope at all in having the search engines pick up our cards Grin

Hold those tomatoes (I can't duck fast enough!) Shocked

I was asking because in the past Mindy has asked specifically for those (like me, starting late) to DO fast track. I'm submitting regular, I PROMISE!!!!! I NEVER Fasttrack unless it's a custom (and most of my customs won't work in my regular store, so even those aren't FT, they are private gallery/waive review).

(am I out of the Dog House now)? Wink

Reply #8 - Feb 16^th, 2010, 1:12pm No FastTrack for St. Patty's unless they are Photo Cards since we're trying to beef up this collection. Yep, at this point your sights are best set on Mother's Day & Father's Day, none of which would be FastTracked either unless they're Photo Cards. Peggy...I think it's safe to come out

Reply #9 - Feb 17^th, 2010, 9:31pm okie dokie ... other than a couple of St Pats to let my personal customers know what I can do for them (they don't look as far foward as we do dealing with SEO and all that) ... I'm onto Mother's Day and Father's Day!
