Just signed on. Read the guidelines. ON and on and on. Email, phone, target. My head exploded. Recorded, do this not that. If everything is not exact, no pay. My head still hurting thinking of reading it. Geez,

I feel your pain! I did a shop for them a while back and remember being put off by all those warnings. I thought it wasn't the best business practice to threaten shoppers even before they agreed to complete an assignment. The report ended up not being too bad, and I was paid within the stated timeframe. I still decided to limit my assignments with that company because of those inappropriate warnings.

Good luck to you! Let me know how the shop went smiling smiley.

You mean they are worse than EPMS?

I recently completed a shop for this company. I agree, there was a lot of written information and instructions. However, once I understood the process, the shop was not bad. I did not see those warnings about no pay. I liked that they offered a bonus for my MSPA Certification and a bonus for getting the report completed within a 12 hour window. The owner was there to assist me when I needed help. I would work for her again. @cirmi2000, glad to hear about the pay turn around. So, I should receive my pay in about six weeks?

In my area, Remington pays more than EPMS. Both the shop and report is easier. Detail is required, but to a lesser extent. Also easier, is Remington's reporting platform. I agree that their instructions are very heavy-handed. I was put off years ago when reading them. Subsequently, I pay no attention to their threats, as they don't apply to me.

Remember to invoice Remington following completion.

Luciccham - I just checked: I received payment five weeks after submitting my report! So, you'll probably have a week less to wait than expected smiling smiley

Thanks cirmi2000, that is even better. This would make my pay arrive right before the next holiday. I submitted my report on November 15, 2012. I had a follow up call today for the community I shopped and just sent an email to the scheduler.
