What do you guys/gals think of In Touch Shoppers and A Top Shop based in Colorado?

I did read about a negative payment issues with A Top Shop. However, that was in early 2011.

I am owed money by A Top Shop, only $20! I contracted with them via iSecretShop

I emailed them this past week, and received a response from Lori Reeve, the owner. She apologized for the delay in payment and promised to pay me via PayPal that day. I never received payment. I sent two follow-up emails which have gone without any further response from her.

It's only $20. What gives??

I will NEVER complete a shop for this agency again.

If I do not receive payment, I will file a complaint with the BBB.

For my assignments with A Top Shop I was always paid. However, it was late both times and the second time the PayPal fee was passed along to me. It is a shame because the owner seems like a nice woman and she had a great scheduler. Once I was willing to deal with, twice was two times too many. The first time only took one reminder, the second involved me sending numerous e-mails.

I can be very understanding about issues that might cause her to pay late. I just expect prompt clarity and honesty.

However, I have no tolerance for being lied to and subsequently ignored by her.

If I had acted like this in the completion of my shop, I would have been penalized.

Doesn't seem just for an MSP to treat their shoppers in a way in which we sign a contract agreeing never to act for them.

I like In Touch Insight. I did a shop back in April and for some reason missed that I had not been paid. They contacted me after 90 days to get my information so I could be paid. They could have just skipped asking and I would have missed it. They actually pay much sooner than 90 days but guess that's a cutoff for when a shopper doesn't have the pay info. on their profile.
