Is MF the only company you shop for

. The reason is for the past year you have been a member of this forum, 95% of your posts have been about MF payments and about "where is it?" MF is one of the better "paying" scheduling companies out there.(low or not

)

MF generally alerts their Shoppers when there is a problem. If you have preform a shop for MF, we can find out within 24 hours or less if OUR shop was approved. Once approved, the payment is on the way, so just wait for it.

If you haven't sign up for more companies with "fast" pay turn around, then do so. Alta360 research, Ipsosus.shopmetrics, MaritzCX, SeeLevelHX are a few that PAY within 15-30 days of shop. If you are living MS check to MS check, there is something better. You just have to find out what it is.

If you ask the same question each month, your estimated responses will be the same. This is a learning curve.

You just signed up today and already insulting this forum - not off to a good start. Please tone down your responses.

I think sojo is reacting to seeing the same complaint almost every month from Sidejob. Basically, although sometimes MF pays as early as the 10th via DD, they don't promise payment until the 20th. Here's an idea: change your expectations. Instead of counting the days until the 10th, and immediately complaining, start counting on receiving it by the 20th, which is what is promised - that means every month you will likely be surprised when you receive it "early!"

Here's what the MF website says about payment:

“All compensation will be paid in arrears via check or direct deposit around the 15th - 20th of each calendar month, which covers completed assignments received in our office during the previous month.”

As a courtesy to our Shoppers, to encourage direct deposit sign ups, we pay them earlier in the month than those receiving checks, but all payments will be made by the 20th. However, it could take up to a week after the 20th for people to receive their mailed checks. "

It's not really a complaint. It's just in inquiry. Okay? I just wanted to know if anyone else has been paid by MF. I just need the money. Okay? I thought the forum was in place to make this type of request.

I will try and stop posting inquiries.

Okay?

Sidejob, MF's website explains their payment schedule [marketforce.desk.com] They pay between the 15th and 20th each month. Direct deposit might be earlier than that, but you can't count on it being early every month. So the 21st is the soonest a shopper should hit the panic button

...unless you receive payment by check, then you have to allow another 7 days to receive the check in the mail.

ANSWER: NO! NO PAYMENT RECEIVED. While sometimes MF pays early, payment is not due yet.

Albert Einstein said it best : " If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got."

If you begin asking every month before payment is actually due, the answer will be the same. Other posters will quote the payment terms, believing you have not read them.

If you are concerned about payment from a company *before it is due*, whether it is Market Force or any other MSC, the best inquiry to make is to the company. Until payment is due or overdue, inquiries on the forum are pretty pointless.

Goquin, everyone answered the question by saying that MF doesn't pay this early in the month. Two of us took the time to look up the pertinent information that specifically answered the OP. Additionally, MF states on their website when they send payments. It's the old adage of give a man a fish versus teach a man to fish.

Also, my credit union makes payments available to me 2 business days prior to a commercial bank. So if I got paid today doesn't inform OP about their payment.

No need to be hostile when others are politely going out of their way to provide useful information. A better response would have been "thanks."

ChrisCooper, MF does pay this early. Not being hostile either.

Oh and thank you to roflwofl for actually answering the question.

That's what I meant. MF will often pay on the 10th. That's all. I've read many past posts in which others had posed the same question as did I and others responded that they had been paid and then I got my payment a day or two later. I paid out about $300 in purchases for the shops and I just would like to know if the money will come by the week's end when I need it for an emergency health expense.

I ask the same question because many times the responses ARE different.

Yea, that word 'complain' when you're just asking a question blows.

I haven't gotten paid yet and I have alot of money in their pot.
The last time I looked they said they were going to pay on the 11th, which is tomorrow!

Thank you Spicy. That is exactly the response I was hoping for.

The Op has asked the same question and received different answers then the only MSC with the same answer is MarketForce. The MF written word is the true answer. The 10th thru the 20th is not the same day every month, but the days of the week do exist. While the electronic transfer probably happens more quickly there can be glitches in the system. That goes for the postal system also. Sometimes we must wait. If the check is not in "your" hands by the 20th, then worry.

I don't feel the OP was complaining, but had pose the same question frequently over the year. All MF Shoppers need to HEAR or READ the true answer. Because that is where the payment problem exist

As a mystery shopper who has also worked in Accounts Receivable for a well known company, let's just say that MF would get 10 stars out of 10 from me based on the consistency of their payments. Someone who can't accept a day or two from an MSC would never survive in real world A/R. OP, remember you're an IC not a payroll employee.

Tcurione, I agree that MF is very reliable when it comes to payments. Also, they post a message on the home page of their website letting you know what day the payments went out. It's easy enough to look for oneself and see if the money was sent. No message; no money (yet).

I didn't see the shopper message about the payments yet. However, I have a Direct Deposit check date of 5/11 listed in my payment history on there web site.

OP
Maybe you should learn to read the payment guidelines and understand them on MF's site. If you can't do that then it's probably best to seek other employment as you will never make it as a mystery shopper. If you can learn and comprehend what you read then try this--

As you do lots of shops with several different companies you will after a few months see money roll in regularly throughout the month.
I am sorry you had emergency medical issue but if you explain to the doctor/hospital/clinic they will usually work with you on payment.

Shopping Western NY, Northeast and Central PA, and parts of Ohio and West Virginia. Have car will travel anywhere if the monies right.

MF is doing their payments differently this month. I was paid last night and still, there is no message on the MF website stating on what day payments were made. This is not a complaint, just an observation that may assist in forecasting when future payments will be made. I invest a lot of money in paying for food that will be reimbursed.

It's smart that MF uses the language about not contacting them about late payments until after the 20th. That way the company has a window to work with in distributing payments.

But most of the shoppers who work for this company each month know the company typically pays on the 10th, or a few days after. It seems to me that posting an inquiry about this topic on a forum specifically for those who regularly mystery shop ought to be acceptable.

Receiving payment today really helped my family out of a tight situation. And I really appreciate the way MF pays with such reliability. What I have noticed is that MF payments vary among shoppers within a few days. That statement is not a complaint. It's an observation.

I appreciate all of the positive comments.

Sidejob, MF posts the payment date on the Payment History tab [www.marketforceshopper.com] on the day that the money is sent.

They also post it on their home page, but might not post it there until all payments are sent, so checking the Payment History tab is best.

My payment is posted on my Payment Tab, showing today, 5/11, and my payment has been deposited in my bank. I feel incredibly lucky that MF consistently pays BEFORE the date they promise payment. They often pay through direct deposit on the 10th or 11th, sometimes the 13th or 14th, a few times as early as the 9th. But it still isn't due until the 20th.

Now that many posters have clearly posted when the actual payment due date is, perhaps we will not need to have this discussion in future months unless payment has not been made by the 15th or 20th.

But most of the shoppers who work for this company each month know the company typically pays on the 10th, or a few days after. It seems to me that posting an inquiry about this topic on a forum specifically for those who regularly mystery shop ought to be acceptable.

If I want to post an inquiry in future months I have a right to do so.

No one is a boss on this forum.

If you don't like the post don't read or respond to it. It's petty.

When you're crusin' through Mystery shopping companies jobs you can pick and choose what neighborhoods you go into based on the danger there. Here everyone can come into your neighborhood and bring their habits with them. You can't really say "hey, we don't throw our cigarette butts on the beach here" and expect them to understand. I've found that they are much better at arguing than I am, lots of practice.

You are correct that no one is a boss on this forum EXCEPT the owner and the mods who act for him.

I agree, you should post whatever you want to post whenever you want to post it. But remember, Albert Einstein said it best : " If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got."

Whether you believe responses that you do not want to hear are petty or not, other posters have the same right you have. Other posters have the right to make any post they wish in response to threads that you start. Maybe your posts are petty, maybe theirs are petty. It doesn't really matter. Anyone has the right to make whatever posts they choose.

Mine is in there as of today, May 11th.

Got my payment today, too!

I learn something new every day, but not everyday!
I've learned to never trust spell-check or my phone's auto-fill feature.

Paid today, direct deposit, within stated terms.

thankfully, my calm, cool and collected demeanor doesn't allow for "going off" on posters whose skin is thin.
yep, you know who you are.

thank you, i'll show myself out now.

bu-by
