BARE shop Scenario D??? 911

November 04, 2011 04:51AM
I have a Scenario D shop? Does anyone know if this is the same as Scenario A? There are no guidelines for D, just A...so I am assuming (do I really want to do that?) I have emailed the scheduler and have gotten no response. I am scheduled to do this shop nlt 11/5 and can really use some help. Thanks!

D is the Dim Weight shop. Different from A.

Shopping Bama and parts of Georgia.
I'm still learning 24/7.

C is the Dim Weight shop.

D is A and E is B. Haha, don't know why they did that.

Thanks for the update. I stand corrected...

The difference is simply that the D and E shops are randomly scheduled, rather than the regularly scheduled A & B ones. It was confusing to me at first because they didn't really explain it well, but it makes sense once you figure it out.

I have still never done a C shop and get grumpy when that's all that's on the board, which is what I'm seeing for the rest of this month! Too much outlay for me.

I always guessed that the "D" shops were make up shops.
Just a guess. But super simple.

So all joking aside, A is D? Thanks every one! I cannot tell you how many emails I have sent to the scheduler. I STILL haven't heard back! All these admonishments we get to be responsive, accurate, etc., geeze, I am grumpy today. These MSCs are plucking my nerves!

Have you tried to call them directly? If you call, there is a recording that their main office in Fairfax, VA is in the process of moving. It started last Friday and they are still having issues. I spoke to my scheduler earlier today and she told me that the main phone line had been disconnected this morning and they are having to use their cell phones. It sounds like it has been a frustrating situation for everyone involved. I got my direct response so I am a happy camper. I wish you luck.

P.S. My shop was not one of the mailing shops so I probably dealt with a different scheduler.

D is A but remember I before E except after C or when sounded as A in Neighbor or Weigh. That should make it all perfectly clear.

humor and mystery shopping. who knew! thanks! shop got done today, no problem. I was going to ask why the MSC has Scenario A and Scenario D when A and D were the same, but I realized--trying to figure out a MSC is like trying to figure out the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. LOL

I am scheduled to do a "Scenario E Ready Post" - sounds like it's a schedule A, however, do I need to buy a ready post box - AND will I be reimbursed for the package. Question D2 asks: Were you charged for your ReadyPost package?

Thanks!

Scenario E and B are ReadyPost...

Scenario A and D are pre-packaged, use-your-own-box.

It asks that question because you prepare your package at the post office and then take it to the counter. It is up to the clerk to ask if you need to pay for the box. I did one last week where I was the only person there and took about five minutes putting my package together and the clerk did not charge me for the box...so the answer was no on that question.
