Not getting paid by IPSOS
Warning: For Full Access Please Log In or Create an Account (Free)
Does anybody have any experience with payments from IPSOS?
I only did my first one for IPSOS in March, so because the ICA says it takes 45 days to get paid (if you don't screw up), I haven't yet learned if I'll be paid on time (that'll come in a couple of weeks).
I do know that when I log in to their Shopmetrics site and click on "Pay History" it shows "OK for Pay" under the status of that assignment. So I have an expectation of being paid on time. We'll see.

Thanks. I was told by a scheduler it would be 3 weeks and it's been over that time frame. All my shops say Ok to Pay I just haven't been paid. No one with their company responds. I've sent several emails to their "contact us" email address with absolutely no response.
My first shop with them this year was on March 27th, so I am expecting payment (according to the ICA) around the middle of May.
Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
I just got paid today for a shop done on 4/8.

Speaking of most MSC's. It is XX weeks from the time it has been edited, sent to the client and the client accepts the shop. Your shop is then approved and payment comes AFTER that agreed time.
I did my first shop with IPSOS on March 31 and I was paid today via PayPal.
I just did a product eval through them through a 3rd party company and got paid. Is there a phone number you can call? Sometimes calls get better results than emails.
I got paid by IPSOS for a series of cell phone shops this week. They paid on time without a hassle.
dobsgirl,

Hi all, it looks like most of the posts here indicate that payments are coming on schedule, but if anyone has outstanding issues please email me directly at judith@summitscheduling.com and I will look into them.

My two shops, one from June 28 another from July 3rd still both say Pending Validation, I sent an email but have not heard anything back... How long does it take to go from pending to ok to pay???
aayaey,
With a long holiday weekend in there, it's no surprise for things to run a bit late.

I forgot to check back in - I did get paid on time.
My July 3rd shop is now ok to pay but the June 28th is still Pending. I've emailed the company so we will see...
Does anyone have a contact number to call? There are so many numbers on their website now my email has been forwarded to i-say panel, even though i just responded to the IPSOS support email.
I guess I need to speak to someone in the accounting department.
They're on my list of companies to ignore. If you've been working for a year and work for enough MSCs there's no reason to deal with them. Not as bad as BMA but equivalent to ACE... I put them lower than Intellishop and even Maritz.

I certainly have had no issues with IPSOS in a long time. A shop I did in the second half of July was paid before mid-August. My previous work with them had been paid generally in a couple of months--some times shorter, some times longer.

I've been at this more than a decade and have worked with a lot of companies and personally see no reason at all to ignore IPSOS. There are more than enough companies out there to ignore for cause.
Are they in the process of changing reporting platforms?

I enjoyed the shops I performed for them in the past.

Flash, do you have any explanation for why the shop is not showing at all? I performed it and submitted it on time. I have the report saved as a pdf file. I have the original acceptance email. No contact follow-up emails. It just disappeared.
Are they in the process of changing reporting platforms? Or are they one of those weird companies that has some shops on one platform and other shops on another platform?
They certainly have me confused. Their SASSIE website lay dormant for a long time and suddenly there are a lot of shops there. Hmmm. Anyway, shops there should perform in the expected SASSIE way of going to your job board once you select or are assigned them and then remaining there for eternity as they go through the summission, complete, paid process. The Shopmetrics platform, for all companies using Shopmetrics, has the shop disappear once it is completed. Go to 'my settings' in the upper left and choose 'Pay History'. You should be able to see your 'statement' for each job or see the job in their version of a 'pending' status.
I am very familiar with the shopmetrics platform.

Hello, Is this resolved? I work for Ipsos and if you can PM me, I will try to find out the details.
Does anyone know when the shops with the new client will appear? I got an email saying these new round of shops were for October and will be posted in September. I keep checking....but nothing.
Most current information seems to be being posted to [www.mysteryshopforum.com] thread by the schedulers.
I have been paid on time by Ipsos. I have only done shops on their Sassie platform. Stated terms, on both their Shopmetrics and Sassie platforms, are that payment will be within 45 days of accepted shops. In my experience, payment has been closer to 30 days.
From what I can tell, both platforms will be used, for different projects.
