Did Postal shops change MSCs?

I'm NOT asking for the name of the company, but I used to do these all day long as my bread and butter. I quit shopping for a couple of years and now I'm not seeing them listed on that company's boards. I realize that it could be for a number of reasons, including that the MSC I shopped them with no longer has the contract. I'm signed up with 100+ companies and I'm not seeing them anywhere, so I'm wondering if maybe they are no longer shopped in SoCal?

USPS and Postal Annex are still shopped. I haven't seen FedEx shopped in a few months. Last time I saw FedEx shopped was back in May. Not sure if they stopped or switched MSCs.

From a couple years back, yes, I believe it's a different MSC now.

If you're signed up with the "top 15", you should see them.

i am signed up to do a fed ex pickup at a nationwide discount store. it on one of the major ms apps. i do not know if its fed ex or the store doing this

Thank you all for the information. I was encouraged to keep looking and found them. I hadn't tumbled to the fact that the MSC uses 2 different platforms, and I was only looking one one of them.

for reason lately when I sign in to the double msc I am automatically taken to the site that is the newer company. I have to try to hit enter very quickly before it automatically switches me over to the right side of the page when I want the shops on the left.

Whatever you do, don't do any shops for the former company, who just jerked me around for days concerning a postal vendor closed location and how to submit it.

Guidelines said give a photo to the scheduler. She wanted to me to give a series of answers to every question on the survey just to hand over a single photo. When I said, no, the she deleted the shop and I am sure took the photo anyway.

After YEARS of successfully shopping for these folks I'M DONE. And their pay has gone down, not up? Think mystery shopping is no longer even pocket change.

Yes, It think was about two years ago that USPS changed companies.

I have the Shop Metrics side bookmarked so I never even see the Sassie side.

I am using the same url every time unless my computer is finishing what I enter and changing it without my knowing. This kind of stuff does happen. Sometimes I get just shopmetrics and sometimes I get both. I need to start paying better attention! I am using my password manager which used to go to shopmetrics and now goes to both filling in both passwords but always opening sassie on the right side of the page.

Yeah, I don't type it in, I just click the bookmarked link. Always takes me straight to shopmetrics.

If I flaked on some shipping shops, could the MSC block me from seeing current shipping shops that are available in my area?

Also, I just recently saw another MSC where you ask for a shipment to your home address and then go online to have it re-routed to a semi-big box store instead for delivery.

Possibly. But keep in mind it's near the end of the 4th quarter and the year, and getting close to Christmas. There aren't going to be a lot of post office shops available until January.

If they were planning to block you I would think it would be for shops outside your area too unless something happened at a particular location in your area where you were outed. Many shoppers do routes of these shops and go out of their area to do them so blocking just your immediate area would not make sense, So expand your area a bit and see if you see any. I still see several in my area but I am in a huge city so it covers sooo many post offices. I should grab some for sending holiday gifts today while they are left.
