how long to wait for an article?

There's no general formula to apply to these situations, as turnaround times depend on a writer's workload, productivity, availability, etc. It could take one day, or it could take two weeks.

However, the writer or company from which you ordered your article should have informed you when you can expect it to be finished. I recommend you drop them a line and ask - there's really no other way to find out.

Out of all people you ask us? Why not ask the writer you just hired?

i think 2-3 days.

Each potential writer you may hire will provide a timeline for the service. And it will depend on many factors. While you may say is is only an "Amazon Product info article" there is still research to be done, as well as re-writes etc.

The writer should give you an estimated turn around time when you order. You're probably not their only client and they may have projects in line in front of your's.

I use a service called iNeedArticles and my wait time is about an hour...but that's because they have a large staff of writers and I only need a 500-750 word article. A 3000 word article might take a few days depending on the kind of service you're using.

The first person you should ask is your article provider but generally it really depends whom you ordered the article from, if it is a big firm then 3-4 days for a 3000 article is generally the norm. For freelance writers, it can range from 3-7 plus days.

It's difficult to tell exactly man. But i thought they have plan to delivered article and also display that for you, Didn't you see it?

You should ask the person who you ordered the article from.

By the way, I think that a 3000 word article is way too long and I am guessing that you will bore your readers.

You should go with 400-600 word articles.

Each writer will have a different length of time they need to complete their article, but you would think within 3-4 days max. And that would include time to research and what not!

I hope that helps and good luck!

3 days for 3000 words sounds rational. Or you can always do it yourself and save money, and time. AND you can get it done in 1 day. Well... 2 hours is a good amount of time. Do you live a busy lifestyle? Is it tough to write one 3,000 word article within 2 hours for you? Only once a day?

About 3 days.

It however depends on the writer. I have sure some can have it delivered in a day! There are some very fast guys out there

....and yesterday you posted multiple times ranting abut that particular service. Not sure why you aren't banned or why the posts remain - must be a day short on moderators....

ONLY THE WRITER you hire can tell you when to expect an article. Not a single person on this forum has any control over the timing. No one on this forum knows the writer's schedule, his speed or his familiarity with the subject you hired him (or her) to write on.

Just a tip, I went with WriteArticlesForMe and so far they've taken 3 weeks to do 4000 words. People on Fiverr.com can have a 3 day turnaround!

Your writer should be able to deliver a 300 word original article in four days.

More importantly (IMO) is to set all these expectations prior to doing business and before money is handed over.. have you asked the person who you are dealing with?

I am a writer myself and I charge a flat rate for all my work. I don't have a "standard" turnaround time. However, when discussing any job with a client and getting answers to my questions, one is that I ask if there is any deadline. That also may affect whether I can do the job.

I also work out what turnaround time I can offer and then get the approval before I do any work. 3000 words can be easy or hard. It depends on the topic, client expectations, the writer's knowledge of that topic and if he has to do research.

A tip for future - always ask what the TAT will be before placing the order. Then you know where you stand. For example, I could start a job today if I'm asked as my present workload is very light, unfortunately. But if I got 3 different jobs in the next hour, I would have to balance them out.

As for this article, (and others have already said this) only the writer can tell you when you'll get it.

I hope this ramble makes sense and helps you.

I use Iwriter.com for important articles, the cost is minimal, and I usually get the article written within a few hours. I've never waited more than 24 hours for an article.
hope this helps

Different writer has different delivery time.

What you can do is shortlist a few potential writers & ask each of them how soon they can deliver your 3000 words article.
