Has anyone done this shop? I found it to take a ridiculous amount of time for the measly $10 it paid. I thought it was a good deal to be able to do a shop from home, but it took me hours to go through the instructions and perform the shop

it wasn't as bad before you had to upload screenshots.. now? not tempting at all.

I did one and cancelled the second one I accepted after I completed the first one. I liked doing the ones without the screen shots, but the new requirements took me a ridiculous amount of time. Not worth it as they are now!! They used to fly off the board as soon as they were posted. Not anymore.

Ditto. Between 1 1/2 -2 hours. Even with getting efficient with it. They allowed 5, I did 2. Now it's 2 per round. Not interested.

Thanks for the heads up about this. I had considered doing one, but not now.

They sent out a survey, maybe they will change the requirements and/or pay......

Ditto. With the requirement of screenshots the time to complete the assignment doubled. I won't do it for $10.

If you open a tab, find the product on Amazon, then copy and paste into cognito mode on Walmart to see if it exists in the first place, it's a little easier. And you can grab your screen shots for prices. Then go in and start doing searches in regular mode to see when and how it pops up. I can get them done in about 40 minutes now. I grab one when I see them to kill some time in the evenings with all this snow we're getting hit with and this lazy streak I have.

Thanks for the heads up.
I had never seen this shop before, so it sounded okay when I read the email. Meant to grab a couple, but they were all gone. Glad I missed out.

You are a better shopper than me MountainCacher88; it took me triple your time

they were nice a few month ago but now it is a mess..not feasible time spent for $10.00 I spend an hour to answer the first line and canceled it after that..

Glad im not alone in these. I scooped up two and cancelled halfway into first one. Incredibly time consuming and n0t worth 10 bucks. They will figure it out and eventually adjust.

I do not find the shops difficult to do, but the most recent one took me almost 2 hours. The products were obscure assembly parts only select people would want or need. It took a long time searching to realize Walmart did not offer the products. When it comes time for screenshots, I hit "print screen" on my keyboard and paste into Microsoft Paint (an application that comes with MS Office.) I label the screenshots 1a.jpg, 1w.jpg, 2a.jpg. 2w.jpg, etc. and save to my desktop. It is not too difficult. I have not completed the jobs any other way, so this seems natural to me. I wish I were allowed to do more than 2 per month because [usually] it is easy breezy money in my opinion.

Any shop that requires the use of the dinosaur that is Microsoft paint should be worth atleast $50

I open up Incognito mode and my regular chrome browser. I then open all 8 Amazon products in the regular chrome browser and take a screen shot using the snipping tool. I label them A114 (for the date) through A814.

I have a sheet of paper marked A1, 2, 3, etc through 8 beside me. I then add all 8 to my cart to see the earliest possible dates of delivery and if Prime eligible. I mark Y/N on my sheet of paper and note the price of the product and dates.

I then go to incognito mode and paste in the exact title into Walmart to see if they even carry the item before I start searching fruitlessly. If they do, I screen shot and save it in a similar manner as W114 to W814. I also have a column on my sheet of paper that shows the price and if 2 day delivery is available and make notes on that. Once that is complete, I go back into regular mode and begin typing in how I would look for the products on Walmart's webpage. If they didn't have it, I use terms anyway just to be double sure and of course, the last search is almost verbatim the title if it hasn't came up.

It knocks out a huge chunk of time. It isn't exactly the way they describe to do it -- open up an Amazon page, screen shot, add to cart, find Prime, then open up Walmart, start typing 6 things, find it, do the same but it does completely do the same process and it cuts out a lot of time due to copy paste and knowing if the actual product is sold by Walmart or not.

I think I deserve $5 just for reading thru your steps.whoa

Candidate for 10-ft. pole shop. I found simply finding the right product took the most time. The products I had products that looked very similar; it took forever to find the exact one they specified.

I am pretty sure the requirements only allowed one item in your cart, did that change? I too took little pleasure when screen grabs were not required. When I saw the new requirement for them, I moved on.

I signed up for two. After going through the guidelines, I decided not to move forward. Nah...

I just did one and it took almost two hours. Not worth $10!!

Has anyone tried the new Clickstream version on your mobile device? I consider myself very good at the other ones, but when I started to attempt the new version that just came out with "clickstream".. It was very time consuming. I think I'll have to bail, which I never do.

OMG. Just download one of the suggest screenshot apps (I chose Nimbus) and it's so much faster than yours sound like. I'd done three of them before today when I had to do two. Even with a learning curve, it takes me at least 1,5 hours per shop. On days when I don't have anything else to do I enjoy them. Due to my away from home shopping today, I was rushed to do these when I got home. Are they worth more than $10, sure, but at the end of the day I'll be happy to do two a month.

The snipping tool is way easier than pasting into Paint and it is included in whatever Windows I have on my computer. Yeah, it's late so I have no clue which one it is anymore

I just did two and the first one took about 45 minutes but the second one went faster. I get tripped up on finding the right color/size combos. But the screen shots are easy (I'm on a mac). Hit Shift, command, 3 and it clicks a pic and it saves right to my desk top. Then I upload on the survey. Takes about 3 seconds to do.

The two that I have done require five searches for the product. for 6 of the 8, copy and pasting the title worked. It did not work for the other two. Both required considerable time coming up with search strings and to evaluate the results.

And just what would you use to do the assignment?

I did a couple of these in November and one in December...took me awhile but I managed to get it.

I only will do one a night though and not two....

These shops all run together in my mind and I'm sure this newest one is technically different, but it wants 15 items searched on both sites, and still the same $10. Heck, the last 10 item one took me forever!
