A five-day shopping window is actually quite generous. As far as them not always scheduling right away, I believe their office is closed on weekends and I am not sure if they use outside schedulers who work on weekends.@wintersilke wrote:
Does anyone else wonder why Ath Power appears slow to assign shops? I've have several successful shops with them and would like to do more but the due dates began yesterday and end on Saturday. My previous applications for their assignments were assigned within 1 day.
August 1 and 2 were weekend dates and I am 95% sure that their office is closed on weekends. Shoppers need to remember that just because some of us work on weekends, not all people, including schedulers do. I very rarely work weekends because that is my fun time with friends and outdoor activities.@fyrekittyn wrote:
I have had a similar issue. I applied for shops on 8/1, then I'm assigned late in the date on 8/3 for a shop due 8/4. It's getting silly.

I agree. That is what Monday mornings are for!@CaliGirl925 wrote:
I don't work on weekends for my day job either. But I understand that work may have come in on the weekends and that anything with a due date within the next day or two after a weekend needs to be triaged and handled first. This seems like common sense.

I hope so, too! For this shop you can be assigned to one of several companies. On the survey there are specific questions for most of the companies...but NOT the one I'm doing. Does that mean I'm off the hook for that question, or whoever designed the form forgot to put it on there (and I'll be penalized because I couldn't read their mind and know what to ask)?
