When I attempted to manually add people already subscribed to my mailing lists, I got this error for 3 of the 14: "Please review the fields below and correct any issues." There are no highlighted fields, and no errors that I can see except Constant Contact being pretty awful at what it does. Please note, we run a 14,000+ person event annually, as well as 5 other smaller events throughout the year - this list I compared today was a list of 153 upcoming event participants it took me a good 90 minutes to compare the two lists (the list constant contact created vs the csv file I used to upload the new contact list) and then manually search the subscribed/unsubscribed lists for each of the 29 people who were not added to the new list, and add the folks I was able to from existing subscribers. To sum again: 3 of 29 had unsubscribed 14 of 29 are actively subscribed, however, I was unable to add three of these folks to the new list, even manually. 12 of 29 are still not subscribed, were not added from the .csv upload 8% of the contacts (12/153) were not created and added to the list, and they are NEW contacts. 9% of the contacts (14/153)are already subscribed to some of my lists and were not added to the new list, despite being existing contacts, of those 21% (3)/14)of them still are not on the list because of an unspecified review error. 2% of the contacts (3/153) had previously unsubscribed, that's fine, I guess they don't want important and relevant event information. 19% of the contacts from the uploaded .csv were not added to the list, of those not added to the list 41% of them are NEW CONTACTS. What happens when I create a new list with 2,000 people on it, or 14,000 people? How can I trust that Constant Contact is actually adding all of my contacts correctly, without me doing HOURS UPON HOURS of manually checking up. If the ratios are the same, I'd be looking at nearly 20 hours to compare a 2,000 person list; and over 137 hours to review the 14,000 person list. This is an unacceptable number of contacts that were "skipped" by the upload by csv system, especially NEW contacts that paid to participate in an upcoming event and will now miss out on important details and information going forward because Constant Contact has issues they need to fix.
