This is directly from their web site. I do not do much work for them and they are always begging me to take more shops. I have never missed a deadline or cancelled a shop. So it looks like I will be negotiating longer report times along with more money if they still want me. Otherwise I have a lot of other options.

Reporting Times Alert!
In the upcoming weeks we will be changing our Reporting Times to reflect that your reports need to be submitted online as soon as possible after completing your shop. We will try to keep the shop open for 8 hours, but there is no guarantee we will be able to do that if deadline requirements mandate that we move quickly. Perhaps you can use this time before the change goes into effect to start submitting your reports earlier so that when the change comes, you will be ready! This new reporting time might also help you better select what shops are right for you in the event you use your work or library computer to report.
For those of you who have been long-time Shoppers with us, we realize this may take some getting used to. We are having to take this action to provide our Clients with faster turnaround of your shop data which will allow them to take faster action. This will also help to insure data integrity since you will be required to report the shop sooner while the experience is fresh in your mind.
Please keep an eye on your CPIs as to reporting times so that you will know when this goes into effect. We thank you for your support and commitment to maintaining Market Force’s leadership in the industry."
