Genius Veggie Pills shop?

I hope you've all been well and safe over these crazy few months! I've only started doing a lot of MS'ing since the first of the year, other than bank jobs. Fees in my area seem to have been going up. So that's good.... I don't know if some area shoppers have just dropped out or if the MSCs have to pay more to get people out of their homes (that's how I am these days!).

Has anybody done the purchase shops for the health supplements? There are still several left on the board, and normally I wouldn't do a $3 + reimbursement shop, but I'm into natural supplements and stuff like that, so it sounds interesting. The pills are pricey, but the cost is fully covered. The shop seems easy, and I'd like to try the product, but not if it's a hassle to get the shop accepted and/or to get the reimbursement,

1. Sleepy me skipped half the thread title and thought this was something about Vitameatavegamin.

2. Other me took another look. Are you talking about the shops where you order online, on a specific date? I intended to try one of those, but I was not available for certain dates. I, too, would appreciate more information about this shop type.

I did none that sounds like it, but it was for a powder rather than a pill. The shop was easy if something of a nuisance because of screenshots from Amazon. Alas, the powder tasted horrible. Because I was (and am) largely sitting at home, it was easy money.

I think they're doing a series of these, because I saw one a few weeks ago, but the product didn't appeal to me. But, yes, I think this is that one. Thanks!

LOLOL! We're showing our age with that one! Or it could be a vegemite sandwich!

I think you're talking about the same shop. I'm gonna go for it!

I noticed that in cities with a large university there are more jobs available than usual, in the wealthy and upper middle class suburbs the shops disappear quickly. I think it has to do with students staying home and working professionals staying away for the time being. Kids are at home so parents have to stay in as well. Also, the inability to make a profitable route due to a smaller selection in a mall discourages people to travel to a far destination for a day trip. In large cities if the restaurant is pick up they disappear quickly. For dining in primarily when it is at the outskirts of the city, or at suburbs go fast. Eg a restaurant that caters primarily to 20-35yr crowds downtown, same chain, 4 miles distance, stays on the board forever. (Mind you the restaurant is full as much as it is allowed by state regulations). The outskirt one dining taken immediately-there are multiple shops per month. Inside the city delivery for dinner stays on the board, lunch taken quickly. (We are talking $30-$80 with nothing out of pocket.)

In my market it seemed like there were an assortment of products at different times. I chose not to do them due to the screenshots and now I don't even remember which msc it was. so if anyone found them easy to do I will check my msc's and find them again.

I did a similar shop with a different MSC. While it was easy, the screenshots were a bit much.

I thought the screen shots were fine (there were only 4 of them), but it took soooo long to find the different competitive products and do all the assorted things with each of them. The product you have to choose and find a review on had *no* reviews on the exact product, so I had to pick a new one. Anyway, I thought it was easy, but really time-consuming. I really do want to try this product, though.

Thanks, Honny; good to be back!

It took a long time before shops showed up in my area that I felt comfortable doing, so now I'm taking advantage of what does come up and is bonused. I'm not doing anything at base fee, unless the fee is good to begin with. And I'm not doing anything where I have to be in a crowded place for more than a few minutes!

I did the shop for the Genius supplements that were quite expensive. The shop was very easy and I wanted to try this premium product for free anyways, so I took it. I am happy with the shop and actually very happy with the supplements. Too bad I can't afford $125+ a month to afford them regularily.

On that note - the report is really easy if you know how to do screenshots as it is mostly screenshots. Didn't take me long at all. I'd do another of these shops if the product interests me in the future.

Agree on all points. I'd do this again if there were another product I was interested in. I got my veggie pills in lightening fast time and think they're helping already.

Next time I'm not going to spend so much time hunting for and assessing the competitive products!

I did the shop for a different product in December and the one you mentioned in January. I still haven't been paid for the December shop, which should have been paid in January. My emails have been ignored. Never had a problem getting paid from them before.

Did you ever get paid? I don't want to carry that sum on my CC for a long time, but I don't feel like advancing the $$ to pay it out of my regular funds, either!

I got paid for my shop (about $130) within the MSC's standard pay dates.
