Have you ever had a MSC change the start date after you accepted a job?

Has anyone ever had a MSC change the start date after you accepted the job? Yesterday that start date was 12/20/2019. I completed several jobs today and came home to input the jobs and I couldn't input the jobs because they changed the start date to 12/27/2019.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
I already emailed the scheduler but I haven't received a response.

The Source just did that for two of my scheduled grocery shops but they sent me an email advising me of the change. They said it was to avoid the pre holiday rush and gave me the opportunity to cancel the shops if necessary. Did you check your junk mail folder?

I have had emails asking to change the date and emails to announce the change of a date. I have never had it without some sort of warning, but then I review the shops same day or day before to make sure I'm going on the correct date because I may have entered it incorrectly on my spreadsheet.

They did this to me as well, but I told them I could only do the shops today and they moved them back for me.

Intelli did that to me once. The scheduler realized it was erroneous dates; accepted my report; and I got paid. He discovered the mistake and alerted me to it, taking the blame. There was about a 30 min time period where I thought I would have to re shop, but after clearing things up on his end, it was all good.

I had a lot of respect for him after that.

Trend Source has done that twice to me. They sent an email and stated it wouldn't go against me if I had to cancel. I was able to do their new dates.

Probably 50 times in 20 years. If you can’t shop during the new dates, just tell them.

IPSOS does this every now and then. They almost always send an email but occasionally it's after the start of the original due date window.

I got an email from Trendsource telling me that my shop was due today. I had scheduled for the 29th and received an email yesterday reminding me that it was scheduled for the 29th. Checked my account and it was changed to the 23rd/24th without any notification. I called to see what was up. They had no idea why it was changed and changed it back to the 29th.

A few times, merch clients have changed the project dates after the initial scheduling period. For me, it has not been an issue.

I just checked my account and the shop got changed to 12/24-12/26 without anyone notifying me... Have to contact Trendsource again...

Ugh.

I'm so done with Trendsource. I called a few days ago and was informed I couldn't do it on 12/29 due to a last-minute client request/requirement. I got it rescheduled it to 1/3 instead. I just got an email tonight from the scheduler with terrible grammar and spelling begging me to change it back to 12/29.

I got an email saying thst the client did not allow shops on the date we agreed I would complete the shop. Without asking or telling me, the date was changed to the next day. I just happened to log on and saw it. I told them I could not do it, and that the original day was the one I could complete. I do not want this MSC to think that I will go along with such nonsense. This would have been a multiple hour report and a shop that would require 1.5 hours of driving each way and 2.5 hours at the location. I cannot just reschedule that.
