I did one of the IntelliShop assignments that require the $100 deposit and a somewhat significant out-of-pocket expense for the event. They tell you the $100 will be refunded as soon as your report is accepted. This was the beginning of May. My report was finally accepted a week later but I have yet to be paid or received my deposit back. The shop log says "Payment Pending" but it has said that for about a month.
I've never had trouble with IntelliShop before because I've only done the "Pays in 30 days," (which usually means 40 days).
Anyone else done this particular type of assignment and know what the time frame is? This seems a lot longer than their stated payment policy.
