I don't live in So Cal, but I surely don't want those other shoppers that shop my area to give away the names of the schedulers that I have worked so long and hard to cultivate a positive relationship with (yes, I know I ended that with a preposition.) It's not about greed on my end. I'm not the one who wants to enjoy the fruit of another person's labor.@Msaddict wrote:

There are 1000's of shops here. You must be kidding. Put Los Angeles into Presto Insta-shops and see what happens. That will show only the left-overs on SASSIE.@bestofbothworlds wrote:

Apparently the OP is concerned about the loss of shops in SoCal so maybe Cali is not as "shop rich" as you imagine!

Hi Folks!
I've been doing this for some time and noted my regular companies have severely limited their ops in Southern California for reasons unknown. Now I am considering other firms BUT I'm not willing to do the whole trial and error route again - you know, complete the assignment only to find the MSC doesn't pay what was stated, won't pay until two months (or more...) have elapsed or worst of all... they don't pay! PERIOD - Grrrrrrr!
So with that stated, I would like to know which MSC is truly the best to work with. And by that I mean:
If you do the work and submit the info correctly, they pay you (Hey, what a concept!)
They do not have ridiculous forms or guidelines (aka - designed to fail)
Pay is processed fast - 2 weeks to a month
Shopper support that exists and responds to queries
Paypal or direct deposit WITHOUT a processing fee.
I've read online reviews of many MSC's out there but need to get first hand info from you. Your time and response is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading!

....... These MSC's often have a limited number of shops that pay well. If they were to share these MSC's on an open forum they , in all probability, would find that forum members pick up some of the work upon which they rely. So, before you condemn folks who won't share, please understand that you are asking them to forfeit part of their income in order to honor your request. ... see the original post for what I have cut out of it.
Yes, I totally agree with MFJ. Even in my very part time life as a mystery shopper my very favorite shops which paid well and reimbursed well...the reason they were my faves, came and went. I discovered some of them early on by somehow stumbling across them and was able to do them monthly or bi monthly for a good while loving it but eventually word got out that these were great shops and after some time a shop that I could get every time I applied became a shop that would disappear quickly to other shoppers. I knew they were still being done but the competition was so high from shoppers who had discovered those gems that I never got them again. So yes, I have jobs I do not want to leak out to others. I am patiently waiting for the next one to come along.

Wow - I can see there are some on this board that are very sensitive to being asked a general question. I do appreciate the few positive comments that were posted and will discard the rest. It's clear that some in this forum do not think 'we're all in this together' or desire to '...add a positive contribution to the community' as the posting guidelines state
I had a death in the family and am tending to that. And sadly, the petty comments reflect more on you than anything else.
