Is Maritz no longer handling the blue home stores?

Sometimes I'm slow to pick up on things, but it just occurred to me that I haven't seen any blue home stores available to shop since the end of 2016. Do you think they're sitting out the quarter, or has Maritz lost the account:

I'm in New England and there are none here. Other shoppers have reported the same thing.

Someone posted here under another topic that this job can now be found with a company using an app.

They corrected themself, as it was not the same shop. It was for a product in that store.

So, apparently, no longer shopped.

I only did one of these with a big bonus. Geez, it was a huge document to read to figure out which scenario you had to do, etc. No thanks.

SoCal, Thanks for letting us know about the correction. I myself also only did one of these for Maritz, with NO bonus, and thought NO MORE!! So I don't miss them.

The client has "shops" if you can call it that on an app. I don't know the name, but a friend said she had to inquire about pricing and rentals of rug cleaners and that it was paying decent enough for the work. $8-$15 per app "shop". I didn't ask for any further details, but I have been trying to keep an eye out. I haven't spotted anything in Field Agent or Gigwalk that seems similar so I dunno.

Just to clarify, I corrected myself, but did not mention an app. The one I saw was not on an app.

Which disappoints me because if I was patient, I could often snag one here or there for a good $40-50 or even $60. Now that's gone with nothing to replace it!

I've never done one because of the guidelines it seemed like it was a lot of work. But, more then that, every time I've gone into that store there is zero customer service. At least when I go into the competitor's store I may get a nod or sometimes just a glance but nothing at all when I go into the blue one. I can't imagine 'waiting' for someone to approach me. But my general area seems to lack customer service except at the fine dining restaurants.

I realize that I'm responding to this question 2 months late, but I have the same question as you are there no more blue hardware shops? I was reading all of the posts here and I can't seem to find an answer. So did anyone ever really answer that question, does Maritz offer the blue hardware ships or not any longer?

There have been none in my area since late 2016.

The blue hardware DIY home improvement store is still shop but not by the MSC in the topic. They seemed to have lose the contract at the same time the "Not for a penny less" grocery store. was cancel. Sorry to see them go, for they were my jam and jelly shops.

I have only seen blue and orange home improvement combo shops with a different company and not in my area.

I did them with Maritz in April but initially they were scheduled by KSS and Maritz pulled them at the end and called shoppers themselves.

These have moved to another MSP -- separated out too -- the way they should have been... they are actually worth it at the base pay now

How could the shops have been separated for this store? Are you sure you are not thinking of another big box store that changed MSCs a few months ago?

The ad I saw had the blue and orange both with the same company, the same guidelines, BUT when you applied it was only then that you found out whether you were shopping blue or orange.
