Gone for a year and all my MSC have changed up

I know we can't say what MSC shops stores but can someone help me figure out who's doing the Lowe's stores? I took a break from MS and see the old company doesn't do them.

Shell shops ring a bell?

the most recent MSC I know of was only paying about $10 with the $1 reimbursement...not the $25 I used to get with the last MSC. and word is they can be difficult to complete (finding an OOS item, associates in the departments, etc)

The current MSC pays $12 and $1 reimbursement. I enjoy doing them when the location makes sense for the base pay or bonused pay.

I'm not overly thrilled with the new company. I had a severe family emergency, emailed half a dozen times, called half a dozen more, and didn't get any replies until the day after it was due. The reply was rather nasty so my response was detailed and curt. I completed a response with phone call logs, voicemail times and summaries of messages left, and emails forwarded with date and time stamps showing I tried adamantly and received no reply or response and now I can't get those shops in my area. I get them outside my usual area, but honestly, my father was in the hospital with clots in his leg and lungs and a risk of throwing one to the heart. Tried to be courteous and give a 4-5 day notice that I was half way across the country, but no one felt it necessary to reply. Eh, $12 I won't stress too much about. Seems the shops rarely get bonused at the location I had to miss out on.

Rucker13, The current MSC is one that does not use e-mail, proactively calls shoppers begging them to do shops, and pays by check.

Here they pay $12 plus the $1. They are too much work for that amount even if I am in the area. Fortunately, they get bonused often.

It's one of the few that requires you to invoice them. Also, they do a lot of gas station audits and a certain blue bank.

Thanks for the help! MS sure isn't what it used to be. The original company that had the contract for them would start w/ smaller pay outs but get up to $50. I miss being under 30 years old so I could do the gas station ID audits.
