Flake citations from SeeLevel

February 22, 2021 06:11PM
I've basically been snowed in since about the first of February. On the 8th, I received an offer for an urgent, last minute, past deadline shop for SeeLevel. Checked road conditions through the state website, which said "normal driving conditions", so accepted it. Printed it out, got in my car (had to dig the car out of snow), and headed south.

I made it 20 miles in an hour, realized I could never reach the town before the shop window closed (it's 60 miles away, usually a comfy one-hour drive; at 20 MPH on ice-covered streets, would take 3 hours to get there -- and 3 hours to get home! ). I pulled over and took a photo of the ice and snow covered street, covered with ice and snow as far as the eye could see, and immediately sent the photo to the scheduler. Texted her I couldn't make it, too hazardous.

My reward for my efforts?

FLAKE CITATIONS!!!

Just OMG. OMG.

Call them. That should not have happened. Glad you are home safe!

Was this the same Mexican fast food scheduler that the other person had trouble with due to winter weather?

No. I have had problems with the same scheduler as the other shopper, though. I just don't shop for that scheduler any more.

SeeLevel is kinda UN pro, that way. I had a shop rejected and was cited because the client told SeeLevel that my location was closed. Well, the photos and the shop (with business card and brochures, all time stamped!) told a different story. Despite laying it out for SeeLevel, I never got paid and still got cited. Ah, well....

Bob comments--I experienced the same situation with Trendsource; my solution was to terminate our agreement. I have not been a success in business since 1963 by permitting others to mistreat me. That attitude has certainly cost me money, but has allowed me to maintain my self respect.

I am rarely shopping for SeeLevel these days, partly due to threads like this one. My favorite scheduler used to schedule for them but I don't think she still does. There are definitely some schedulers there that I tend to avoid. They have been scheduling for many years and I have a long memory.

They sent me an email a few days ago to do a financial online lending shop. I applied and got an email that they approved my request. I went to complete the shops and there was nothing on my job board. So I sent an email to the scheduler and was told "sorry we sent you that email by mistake" ok no problem. Then I get another email saying "oops we were wrong and assigned the jobs to you." Okay, I go to complete them and their instructions make no sense whatsoever, I contact the scheduler and explained that I had spent 30 minutes just trying to figure out what they want me to do and it still was not clear. I then tried to start the project but their website did not work. I was given a flake citation for asking them to reassign it to someone who has more time to spend waiting for the website to work since I did not want to keep going back and forth with it. I just deactivated my account and removed them from my saved contacts.

They take forever to pay.

Apparently, my Outlook e-mail account keeps bouncing their e-mails because e-mail alerts keeps getting turned off for them. It might have something to do with the security warning I get every time I try to log into their website.

Folks, copy and paste cindycribbs' post to read whenever you feel you are being maliciously used . I am very pro-business, but not tolerant of abuse.

I'm paid by the 15th of the month every time. No payment problem with me.

Only MSC I have ever de-activated. They seized on a technicality to stiff me for a stinking $3 on a phone shop. Wouldn't shop for them again on a bet.
