Printer Audits for Trendsource

July 13, 2009 02:24PM
I accepted one of the printer audits, against my better judgment. I don't trust Trendsource very much. They remind me of Market Force in many ways, so I am a little leery of them. Has anyone ever done one? I took a look at the form and it looks easy enough. I am accepting jobs I normally would not take because I need the flexibility (and cash) for summer.

Opinions?

They are easy.

I have done literally hundreds of audits for Trendsource. Some of them are printer audits, some are ink, tone, and paper audits. I have never had any problems with Trendsource. I do a lot of shops for them. They are among my top three companies in jobs and payments. They pay regularly twice a month on approximately the 5th and 20th. I love their BVA assignments. They are easy and pay very well. I highly recommend them.

Yes, both are reliable, in that they pay on time per their stated schedules. One is easier to deal with than the other, and one pays faster. But, except in bonus situations, neither pays particularly well. I do more shops for one than the other, as I prefer some of the kinds of things they do.

I have been working with Trendsource since April with no issues, and Marketforce for a month or so. I have done ink/toner/printer shops for Trendsource, as well as several other types of shops. I have done several different types of shops for Marketforce also, and my only gripe would be that some of the reports are tedious and lengthy for the amount of pay. Overall, I like both companies and wouldn't hesitate to refer someone.

I did a paper audit for them and months later had to ask for my pay. I got an apology and have received funds within a few weeks of asking. I don't feel that the pay was worth it. It took me over an hour and then I had issues with pictures which I sent to several email addresses and they kept asking for them. Eventually they got to the right hands and the shop was complete.
