Turnaround Time

Unread post by santiman21 »

Please excuse the question as I am still very new to this.

I see some people post about successes to some celebrities that I have also sent to, for example:

Someone says they sent to a celebrity in July and received today

I sent to the same celebrity in March and didn't receive anything back.

Should I give up hope?

I've had similar situations, where someone sent something to a celebrity more recently than I did but received a response months before I did (Henry Winkler, Betty White and Jon Voight off the top of my head, but I did eventually receive responses). I wouldn't give up hope yet, but it's hard to say for sure.

If you forget about it and it arrives, it shouldn't be a big deal, maybe try again after 3-4 months would be an idea if it's an autograph you really want to get from the person.

Henry Winkler took 3 months to respond to me, if that helps. The longest response time I've had so far was for Bernard Fox, slightly less than 10 months.
