GapBuster communication - Need Advice!

Has anyone done any work for them? I need to contact them for clarification and they haven't responded to two attempts. This is my first job with them. The store's name is not anywhere in the job description and the address doesn't match any of three wireless stores grouped together. The job is focused on a particular phone model. I know for a fact that one of the three doesn't carry that type of phone so that leaves me with two carriers. The instructions have a street number of 7260 and the other two stores are 7258 and 7264 so I don't know which one to shop! I've rescheduled it twice now waiting to hear from them. I can't find a direct email and the only mode to contact them is throught their online "Enquiry" form and they are based out of the UK.

LOL! There is another thread here about Gapbuster and my posts are almost identical to yourssmiling smiley My shops are in a mall with no less than 5 carriers. Even based on your logic (which is sound) it still leaves at least 2 and possibly 3 choices. You did notice we're supposed to check the carrier's website and then call them prior to going, all without knowing who the hell to shop. I sent them another "enquiry" this morning stating since it had been over 48 hours without a response and there was only 24 hours left to please either respond or cancel the job.

I originally posted this in a different section and it was moved over here. I literally just read the other thread. It's frustrating because it's close to home and pays well. I hate to cancel! It's definitely not the third store because it's Ntelos and they don't carry that smartphone. Maybe I could just go with the one with the closer number and report that? LOL
There are several of these close to me. The report looked great and reasonable for the pay. The lack of communication is a huge disappointment and I'll be danged if I'm going to shop the wrong store and not be paid. If you want to just pick one and give it a shot please let me know how that works out for you, LOL!

I'm going to do the shop tomorrow. I wanted to clarify before doing it to make sure I would get paid, but all the Google search results using the address they gave me come up with that store, NTelos (only a couple), or the Hollywood Video that used to be there so I think it may be the correct one. Maybe the numbering on the glass door is incorrect.
I am following your threads - if you were in the area that GapBuster shopped the FF chain then you know if the shops don't get done they will start bonusing them like craazzyyy. Even though this pays well I am not taking any of these shops until I see your problems are resolved (and I am thinking by then it might be time they start calling and offering $$$$)

Thanks girl! I'll keep it mind if they don't dump mesmiling smiley

jersen8v, did you go to the shop?

I finally got an e-mail from shopper enquiries. It was a notice that my results were late. I sent another message and at this point I don't think I will ever hear from a real person.

Yes, I did it and apparently the store I thought it was was correct. I got a follow up email to clarify something in my report. If it might help you, it was from Elizabeth Day from this email address: followup.usa@gapbuster.com
Glad it worked out for you. Thanks for the contact. I will give it a shot right now. At this point there's nothing to lose.

Doesn't anyone find it very odd that Gapbusters does not even have a contact number to call them? The remove you from the system after you have been offered a huge bonus to do a job for them. You do the job, enter the results and then look for more work and voila! You are kicked out. they refuse to return my emails and I have lodged a formal complaint with MSPA. I am MSPA Gold Certified and do not think I deserved this as a member. This is not the first time Gapbusters has kicked me out. It happened twice before and they said it was a glitch in the system. Yeah right. It really appears they do not want to pay what they owe and trust me, I did a whole months worth of work and they owe a good $500.00
There are other companies who don't provide phone numbers and since Gapbuster is in Australia a phone number might not do any good. The only time I've been able to speak with them on the phone was when they were pulling some all-night shifts near the end of the month. I've also done some jobs that each had a good bonus and I can still get into the system and assign jobs.

You said you are a member of the MSPA, did you mean that you didn't think Gapbuster would do this since they are a member of the MSPA?
