I still have not been paid. I'm owed over $500 for four shops last year. I've emailed Joan again.

Let's be fair. Joan posted on April 13 that all overdue payments would be current by the end of April. There are 4 more days.

On May 1st, I hope Gatorgirl and all the others who have posted here are able to come back and tell us they were paid. Please, each of you, come back and let us know what happens.

I am still following this closely and will provide an update on May 1st.

I have received payment. Thank you, Joan.

Glad (and quite impressed) that they are getting everyone caught up!

I am glad this company is doing the right thing.

I was just paid last night -- the full $525 that I was owed. Thank you Joan.

Joan, I applaud your and IE's efforts. Up until fairly recently, shoppers could still log into the old platform, despite the website closure message. Are there plans for IE to relaunch on a new platform or is the company now defunct?

Perhaps I should not meddle in this thread since it does not concern me. However, that "euphoria" everybody is feeling is just relief. Thank yous and praise are not warranted, in my opinion. Waiting a year for reimbursement is unacceptable. The MSC finally getting around to paying shoppers is just the right thing to do, but they are not doing us any favors.

I'm guessing you have never owned a company. At least one that had both clients and suppliers and had to manage cash flow between the two. 95 times out of 100 cash flow issues are not a result of mismanagement or unscrupulous behavior. It's usually just something happening to upset the cash flow and then it snowballs. I'm guessing (and honestly it's just a guess as I have never worked for Inside Evaluators, do not know any of the principles or schedulers, and honestly not even sure I'm signed up with them) that cash flow issues were the problem with them as well. Normally when a company experiences cash flow issues that have them 6 months behind paying suppliers they just fold. Coming back from that is almost unprecedented.

So yeah, I believe they are indeed doing their shoppers a favor. They would have been within their rights to just fold, and while many people can't understand that it's just something that happens. If a tree falls on your car and it's uninsured and you don't have the money to buy a new car then you just....can't buy a new car. If your cash flow goes and you're trying to run a business you just can't continue to operate. It's like the old saying getting blood from a turnip. If there's no money to operate the business just goes away. So yeah, they fought through that and appear to at least for now have everyone back on track. To me that's a lot of work to pay shoppers and save a company from dying. That's REALLLLLLLY hard to do. I know this from experience. So yeah, they are doing shoppers a favor and thank yous and praise are warranted.

I'm sorry but this is completely laughable.

Please explain why this is laughable

Hardly.
G3 folded instead of fixing things. They left me hanging for over $1000. Lots of other shoppers as well.

This, specifically, is not laughable and demonstrates the ethics of the people behind this company IMHO.

I can name a dozen companies that got behind in the past decade and left shoppers holding the bag, but none that recovered and paid the shoppers so they could continue doing business with the respect of the community.

It's not great to be that late but you have to applaud people who do the right thing. I respect that.

For the record, I'm also paid up current with IE.

I've received payment. Thanks!

I agree with Linda. If you want to offer kudos to the company for powering through their problems, so be it. That is not the same as thanking them for merely fulfilling their contractual obligations.

From what I am reading, do you even know if they are even on their way to solvency? I see squeaky wheels on a public forum getting paid. How about all the contractor's who do not participate in forums?

I received payment on 4/28. I sincerely hope IE overcomes problems.
