Sprinkled throughout this entire 12 pages are ideas of what to order that MAY be accepted for the liquid non food item. I used to think the all purpose spray or tub and tile spray were good but am disillusioned now since it comes out of the bottle in large foamy batches targeting just a small fraction of the area I want to clean. They are hard to clean up and use up almost a whole bottle just on one time in my shower. The alternatives I am considering trying are the body washes. I have a 10 year supply of dish soap from Costco and don't know about how the shampoo compares. After a year of testing these items what do you shoppers now consider the best items to order in this category?
Right? I found it drying and the smell was not like pear.@ChuckandJack wrote:
I hate the pear scented hand soap.

I’ve purchased fruit and vegetable wash. I wanted to try the Mrs. Meyers dish soap in geranium but it’s always sold out. I didn’t care for the seventh generation dish soap it had no scent to me.

For my last order, I purchased Dishwasher Rinse Aid. This next one will be toilet bowl cleaner. I've also bought glass cleaner. I hate the pear scented hand soap.

A scheduler just sent out an email to stick to the first choice products and only choose alternatives if the first choice is not available, adding that other items might not be "properly" reimbursed. I'm interested to see what properly means to them.

I may have been the cause of that email you got as the email came right after I suggested widening that category. I assume we all have the same scheduler but maybe not. It would be interesting to know if all the schedulers are sending out the same email. After doing this job over and over for a year I think they should give some leeway. But I will stick to the rules and continue doing the job.

Oh, you're the one who ruined the party! Kidding.
Did the schedule respond to you personally?

Yes, my scheduler responded to me right away and then sent the email out this morning. I just basically suggested adding a few more items that seemed to fit the pump or spray liquid category to the list. Not sure why some of those items are not already on the list as they seem to fit what they are getting after...plastic bags for packaging and make sure they are not leaking... It was a suggestion on my part, not a demand.

Sorry, what I was getting at was did the scheduler instruct you not to order items not listed.
In the past, I asked about ordering a different item and the scheduler told me it was fine as long as it was the same size.
I haven’t had any issues or responses about items I’ve ordered so far.

I would think ordering the same over and over would attract attention in so many mystery shops especially since we are not allowed to order anything.
@sandyf wrote:
Yes my scheduler told me the only acceptable items to order were the cleaning spray and the dish soap. He said that the other shoppers are either doing a different shop or they are doing it wrong. Then today he sent out an email to at least all his people on this project as several others have said they got the email. I do not know how many schedulers they have on this project. His email reminded everyone that they are only allowed to order those two items (although there seem to be 2 different cleaning items so three items.) He said there were no alternatives allowed in that item category. His email indicated that if someone orders something else they may have issues getting reimbursed for it.

I have been admonished for ordering an organic version of meat, when regular was OOS. The price was still in spec so it was stupid of them to complain. I also got specific orders from the scheduler to add a specific produce item. Then the reviewer kicked back my report because there was no produce on the powerpoint instructions. I sent a copy of the scheduler's instructions and never heard back from the reviewer. My report was accepted though.
