thanks so much for the replies everyone...although I'm super irritated about this whole situation, I've decided to go ahead and complete my remaining shops; the actual shop itself isn't that bad and the flat fee is reasonable in my opinion for what is required...unfortunately I pulled a rookie mistake, applying for a bunch of shops when you are brand new to the company to test the waters first, so at this point instead of losing a a small amount of money if I refuse to do this job, (If I had signed up for just one) at this point If I pull out now I'm out over 100 dollars.
@SoCalMama-actually no, when I applied in late June, early July-time frame job was listed for August 2018, and fee and bonuses were included with the posting.
@BirdyC-thanks for that point, believe me, I'm extremely jaded with this company now, looks like I will have to start using my attitude towards mechanics with the msc's. If I use a mechanic and I figure out later, they charged me too much, etc. I refuse to your services again and I will tell anyone who will listen to stay far away from your company..
@shopperbob-I will keep it in mind moving forward,thanks for the input...I just hope they aren't doing this to other shoppers...once the dust settles and at least the flat fee is in my bank account, I will share who the company is so other people know to avoid this msc if they choose to of course..
@Lauraphx-appreciate it thanks...
@ceasesmith-unfortunately there just isn't enough time for me to renegotiate with the scheduler, Since I signed up for so many at once I had planned to knock these out over a 2 day time span, today and Friday, and took time off work to make that happen (although they are paid days off thankfully)..also there is one additional one very close to my apartment I will knock out on Saturday, but the ones for Friday are about an hour from my apartment, on top of that time is limited because it requires a pre recorded phone call that has limited hours, and very short time span for a morning visit.They also have afternoon times allowed but trying to knock these out so I can be done with them and this company Aargh!!!!
I do appreciate all the feedback though and I will remember it when shopping other companies, on a good note I went to go see Mission Impossible today and really loved it, it was in a new theater and in a huge mall I wasn't aware of before and very close to where I live which means more shopping opportunities, definitely adding this city to my list when I'm searching for shops..
Shopping Idaho and Oregon/Idaho border region.
