Where are the Fee Prices on NSS (Natl. Shopping Service) Website?

I've done several shops for NSS and it just dawned on me that I don't even know where to look on their website for the fees/reimbursements. Really. lol

I've always been contacted by a scheduler offering shops (w/ bonuses) and have only accepted a shop through a scheduler. Out of the blue, I was browsing their site to see what stuff was near me and I tried clicking on some shops to find out what they paid. Nothing. I tried all the clickable stuff on each shop and they never list a fee/reimbursement.

The only link I didn't click was the self-assign button or whatever it is, b/c I didn't wanna add a shop and then have to cancel if it turned out to have too low of a fee. So you NSS veterans, where do you go to look up the fee info?

Very much appreciated!

You have to drill down quite a bit to get to the payment information. First you have to search for available jobs. The list of jobs on the right side of the screen when you first sign on won't help you. Then go to the the Account/Scenario and click on the link for the shop type. Then click on "view instructions" and finally click on the link for the PDF instructions for the job. There is a section on the bottom of the PDF called "Payment" which tells you how much they reimburse/pay for the shop. Its not easy!

I have done 100s of shops for NSS over the years, maybe 700 or more. DO NOT self-assign any shops, as you have to negotiate with a scheduler for bonuses. If you self-assign you are usually going to get them for a lower bonus (whatever is stated on the website) or none at all depending on the time of the month (they deadline about the 3rd week of each month). You can call them at 1-800-800-2704. Once you get a verbal confirmation of the shop bonus, have them send you an confirmation email containing the details. Then save it until you get paid. I have never had any issues with them regarding getting what they told me that they would pay. But, the website does not contain these details.

Oh yeah, and they are rarely there on weekends except the deadline weekend...and they are on the West Coast so take that into consideration when you call (unless you are in CA).

Thanks you guys.

Absolutely go through the scheduler, but if you get emails from one in particular offering larger bonuses stick with them and try to email them. If you don't get a response, call. Sometimes if you call you won't get the same person and they will try to aim for a lower figure, so make sure you ask for the person who sent you the email. I usually do the best with Lacy and Hamaad (not sure about the spelling for Hamaad).
