How long does it take to process an order?
Existing clients find it only takes a few minutes to submit press release or EDGAR Connect filing requests. If you are a new client, there may be a slight delay because we verify all information provided. We will also be waiting for appropriate paperwork, including your free membership application and faxed payment confirmation. Clients who do not use our electronic submission process and send requests through email will experience a longer delay in processing and a handling charge for entering the submission into the system.

My release has not yet been sent out, but the date that appears on the release is the wrong date. What's wrong?

What if I want to make changes to the content of my press release?
After a press release has been uploaded, our copy editors begin reviewing your release. If you wish to make changes after you have uploaded your release, but before it has been distributed, you will need to direct an email to copyedit@eworldwire.com with the details.
We do not permit changes after a release has entered the review process because it would be difficult to track what changes you have made to a release after it has started the review process.
