Is there any chance of getting them approved sooner? The #'s are 787917, 787918 & 787919 Thanks ahead! and I apologize if this isn't the right forum. I searched and couldn't find the posts.

It's more 'private', since none of us should really be expecting our cards to be approved over others just because we didn't create them well in advance of our need...I know, I've been there

Yes. it's not really fare to expect to queue jump. If we don't make them in time for a certain occasion then that is our own fault...shouldn't penalize other artists for it. embarrassed

We've all had it happen. I for one with Christmas cards that were too late for this year.

You might just have to use them for next year. Cheesy

Mary, I've been averaging about a 2 week approval time. Others have been reporting 3. In the run-of-the-mill POD world, it's a long time. In the editorial/print world, it's quick (I'm submitting now for next August's Dog Fancy magazine, and 2012 Calendars are in the middle of/wrapping up their photo submission process).

Webs - if you need them now, pop them into a private gallery and let your customer know the URL. That's how I used to handle client customs before the fast-track button came into being.

Please here re: Review Times and Holiday card leadtimes:
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/forum/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1234562095

Noting...fast track is not to be used to expedite holiday cards that have been submitted close to the holiday date.

Our 3 new review team members are getting up to speed and will soon be whittling down the pending cards queue on a regular basis

Thank you for looking into it Mindy,

I had tried first thing, to send a request to the review team but I'm still having trouble getting programs, (i.e.: my email) to work after my big crash. Sad

So I put my request up here. Sorry, I won't make that mistake again. However ...

I've been taught to, "Ask, you get. Don't ask; you don't get." I will not decide for a person or organization what they are willing to give me. I just ask for what I want and dash off to the next project. Can you really see me wringing my hands over a tax card? I'll be back later, though, to remind you that I am still waiting, just like some of the others.

In the meantime, I'll be cranking out other cards Wink

Have to admit that the looooooong process has taken the wind out of my sails and I've wandered off to other sites and put GCU on the backburner once again. I'm just saying!
