Goodwin payment issues

Was just checking up on payments and realized I haven't been paid for a LOT of goodwin shops going back to November of 2013. I emailed them, hoping I get a response soon. Has anyone else had issues recently?

Edited to add:issue resolved, got paid 1 day later, after I submitted a w-9 that they needed. Love it when things get resolved quickly!

Wow. Not recently I haven't... I *used* to, but they had been paying me on time and without "reminding" for the last several months to a year now. I'm dismayed to hear you're having payment issues with them ~ I thought they'd resolved all of that some time ago now!

I haven't shopped for them in a while for this exact reason...they used to be horrid about paying....then I "hear" they got better for a while...not worth it for their low payments

I haven't had any issues, in fact I just got paid two weeks ago for shops I did in January.

I did one early Feb. I am assuming Goodwin goes by the same mantra as most: don't even ask until 45 days have passed?

You will get an answer-sorry server issues... we will check on it. There are several threads about them on here. They need to be "reminded" a lot!

I have had issues, but find that they generally pay promptly once prodded.

My personal policy is that I won't shop for them again if payments are overdue. Once they pay me out, I'll do another shop for them. I'll probably do our local shop again soon. I'm considering, though, asking for an extra $2 any time the last payment was late........

Time to build a bigger bridge.

I haven't had any problems with them in a while. In fact, the last couple times payment came in before 45 days was up. But, they are one of the MSCs where I only shop places I'm likely to try out anyway.

I used to have problems, then started sending them reminders about it and it's been fine since. Here is their "reminder" site link:

Thanks everyone! I heard back from them promptly- they needed a W-9 from me. Just sent it in so hopefully I will get paid soon!!!!!!

Got paid today!! So happy this got resolved so quickly

I have not had any problems with them in the last year or so.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.

This company has reputation for not paying on-time and then often needing a reminder. Then, they started to clean up their act and I took a shop seeing how they would do by me. They were late with payment and only after I had to chase the payment. So, realize you will have to check for and sometimes chase your payment. Good luck with this company.

Got shorted the bonus today. Thank goodness I keep my emails referencing this. I truly don't know why I work for them! Thought they got better. Totally my fault!

Looks like they are going back to their old ways and the excuse will be "accounting problems"

I've always received Goodwin payments on schedule... just got a payment a few days ago.....they are up to date with me.
