eCommerce Study Wave 7 online order and pick up at a grocery store

August 20, 2025 05:47PM
Thank you! I sent three screenshots of the digital receipt to the editor. I was unable to upload all of the info she was asking for in one picture. This is very frustrating. This was the fourth one I have completed with this particular grocery chain and have not had this issue. I wonder if they hired a bunch of new editors.

I either print and scan or take a snapshot on my laptop to capture the complete receipt when they are too long and attach it to the report.

I finally submitted as a PDF. I have not had to do that for the other shops, but this time I had to. I had to prove that the store address was not on there. Im glad that the editor was nice and fair and communicated.

Yes, I had to use a PDF for one of the receipt as due to the length, the screen shot could not capture all of the information.

the shop I did for such program on 7/16 was approved on 8/13. 3 days shy from a month.

I did one eCommerce shop and never again! I submitted on 7/14 and was edited around 7/16.

@cubbiecat why never again if you submitted on 7/14 and it was edited 2 days later? The shop was very easy and from home. Mine took almost a month to edit, but all of mine have been approved and paid. I will do these again if the opportunity arises.

Not meaning to philosophize, but if the aggravation exceeds the reward, unless a financial need exists, skip the shops in the future.

On a related note, when an offer with which I am ignorant of the MSC and/or work conditions is offered, I only select one shop. After submission and, if the MSC is new to me, payment, I consider proceeding.

Unless the situation is one where a shopper has been misled, I recommend completing accepted jobs; it is a matter of discipline.

I think what @jusa is saying is that the situation with editing may have resolved ttself. I have completed several of these with no issues, except for this last round and editing took around 1 month. Im glad to hear this new wave has gone smoothly. I appreciate the update, @Jusa. These are not in my area yet. @shopperbob for me, these shops are well worth it. The reward exceeds what little aggravation that is a result of a backlog of editing. They are completed in the convenience of one's own home and at the time that works best for the shopper. $35 grocery delivery and $8 shopper pay. The report is very simple.

The pay has increased to $25 plus $35 reimbursement for delivery shops. The first round they were $8, the next ones after were $15, and now they're $25.

I did 2 yesterday and 2 today, all 3rd party delivery shops. The two I did yesterday were both reviewed and accepted last night and were paid today. The 1st one from this afternoon has been reviewed and accepted already.

Getting paid that fast is amazing for a holiday!
