I looked at the hiring shops and it is WAY too much work for $50. You are going through the entire hiring process - application, background check, onsite event for a couple hour, then backing out of the job.

At $15 Total, no Reimbursement.

100% they decide the pay. I took one just to read the guidelines. Learned:
1. They copied word for word the guidelines from the former MSC.
2. They ask for a copy of the box receipt purchase - but are not reimbursing you for it. So why ask?
3. #2 leads me to believe they are misleading the client on reimbursement
4. They want exterior pictures, so more work for $0 fee
Oh well. I think everyone came to the conclusion a month ago that this program was over. And it still is, in my opinion. No one should work for free. This MSC most certainly doesn't work for free, and in fact is demonstrating here they are fine with taking advantage of others to earn a buck. Someone earlier said this is business, and thats correct. But this is not good business. Might feel good to the MSC right now as they gleefully start counting the dollars they steal from the ICs, but it will not end well.

Where I live you can get a po box from the post office but there are also private places providing po boxes. So the zip might depend on where you have your po box. They even, at some of the private ones, call them suite numbers or apts on the address instead of po boxes.
That was useful for parents who were trying to get their kids into a better school district without living there. They got a po box called an apt and gave that address to the school. Also businesses who want to impress get a suite number type po box in Beverly Hills even tho their business is in a less desirable zip code. Most of the high class school districts have caught on to that trick.

Be careful about using the addresses that are PO boxes by covering them. My city has special zip codes for POs. For example, 87107 is a real zip code. 87197 is the PO box zip code for that area. So the 0 is replaced with 9. No other address types are assigned the zip code with a 9.

Thanks for the description Cassiespark. So far is there only one type of job listed? I guess it is the old regular mailing job. If so hopefully they will have a bigger variety as I found I was able to mail from the non post offices to zone 8 and stay under reimbursement.

So there really is no fee. Priority starts at $10.50 but averages around $13.80. I guess you could consider the remaining $1.20 a “fee” if the item you shipped had no value, you paid nothing for a box and shipping tape, you walked to the post office and your time is worth zero.
I was able to complete the foia request. Will be interested to see if the Mac’s fee is $1.20.
I wonder if they were taken by someone who had done these in the past and didn’t notice that the fee was gone? There has been a fee for the last 20+ years. Life didn’t get cheaper all of a sudden.@JSuing wrote:
There were three posted in my area a few days ago. The next day, they were gone. Someone took them. For those who had them posted in their area, are they still sitting or were they picked up?
