App Store approvals delayed?

I submitted a new app over a week ago, but it’s still stuck in “pending.” The developer documentations says I should receive approval or a rejection email within 72 (business) hours. I even submitted a question through the developer feedback form, and did not receive a reply. Anyone else experiencing approval delays? How can I “jiggle” something loose in the system, since there isn’t really a direct mechanism to contact Connect IQ store team?
