Cirrus Marketing

If that "Swedish furniture shop" is at the large box store I think it is, I decided a few months back never to do one of those again, too. I had done two of these shops before, and they had totally exhausted me. The third one, which I did a few months ago, was several years after the last one, so I had forgotten what an ordeal the shop was.

The shop itself took me 6 hours to do. The report took me somewhere between 5 and 6 hours. The pay was $60, so I was making less than minimum wage.

I told the scheduler that I would be unwilling ever again to do that particular shop.

You did the shop in March, and according to their guidelines you'd be paid 'after June 16th" and you just got paid. That's 3.5 months not including the time in March.

A class action law suit sounds good to me. IKEA should be ashamed for letting a rip-off organization like Cirrus represent them. I tell everyone I know to stay away from IKEA and Cirrus.
I have done 5 shops for them since April and have not been paid a DIME (I am also an IKEA victim)..I don't think that I will do any more for them, its not worth it, and they hardly ever have any jobs.
Wow, I just logged into my account an noticed I wasn't paid for the 5-6 hour shop that I performed on January 21st!. I just sent an email requesting my payment. I'll see what happens.

Cirrus sent me a response this morning. They gave me a blank invoice to fill out and the name of a person to contact for payment inquiries. Well of course I filled it out and submitted it. Now I just have to sit back and wait.
Don't bother with the email. You can call them directly at 1-888-899-7600. Ask for Bristin Herbig.

April shops are supposed to hit your paypal at the latest by next Tuesday. Anyone with an outstanding April payment please post when you get paid. I will be back when I'm paid !
Please, don't just throw your hands up - fight for your money. If you cave in to Cirrus, they will continue their un-scrupulous tactics. Not shopping for them any longer is a 'given', but don't let the bastards get you down!

I quit shopping for them for 2 reasons:
1. the furniture shop takes much longer than it's worth
2. the length of the payment time is unreasonable.
I just got paid!
