Support for Indie Authors discussion

I'm wondering how long do the usual processes take for KDP and Goodreads, respectively, because I was pleasantly surprised how fast it was for me today.

I started filling the forms for creating KDP account around 11:00 CEST, which took little time. I believe I uploaded the book around 12:00. The book was processed quite fast, listed mere 3 hours later and, 5 hours later, pre-orders were enabled. The estimate is 'up to 72 hours'.
On Sunday, of all things.

As soon as the book was listed (even though pre-orders not yet enabled), I filled in the request for Goodreads author account. This took ~2 hours (again, on a Sunday). The estimate here? Up to 5 days.

And, finally, enabling Kindle X-ray took... 10 minutes, I think? Sure, setting up the glossary will take a while, but there's some background processing that needs to run first.

It feels quite fast, especially as I would expect anyone with a slightly-spooky book uploading right now so it's for sure up before Halloween.
Is all of this so smooth most of the time and the 72hrs/5days is worst case scenario, or was I extremely lucky?

I'm glad the process was so easy...and fast for you, Tomas! I have found weekends are the best times, with KDP especially which was really surprising to me, too, being a WEEKEND! Enjoy!!

I've found they usually have things up and running long before the estimate they give. It helps.

Exactly! I'd be expecting most self-pun authors will upload during the weekend (because they have jobs during the workdays) and thus that it'll be worse than rush hour traffic.

My book was up the day I uploaded it to KDP. I was pleasantly surprised that it was ready so quickly.
