I am doing a baby mail shop to my home address. This is my second month. I received a package my first month and nothing this month. Do I still get paid for the month ($20)

Yes but you still have to fill out the report whether or not you get mail.

@jazzyid You betcha!

Yes

I intend to live forever. So far, so good.

I'm so sad, I just got this notification today:

"I am informing you that as of October 1st, you will no longer be assigned any more monitoring duties for our baby formula project. This is because your assigned "baby" has officially aged out of the savings programs"

I only got one piece of mail (an envelope with coupons) in about 2-3 years of being in the project, I lost count.

Can I sign up again at my new address and a new e-mail address? Or have a new baby?

Thanks all and it sounds like you have a toddler on your hands wrosie but it looks like they are still recruiting for the project on the messages page so it couldn't hurt trying to get pregnant again.

I appreciate the sentiment, but you don't need to have one to do the shop.

@wroise Were you using a home address or PO boxes? I use PO boxes and have opened many (using unique Gmail addresses). Phantom aged-out babies are not a problem.

I am amazed when I see you and other shoppers got so little mail. For almost all of my PO boxes over the years, I got at least several flat pieces of mail and usually at least one box (two sizes).

That has been my experience as well. Several pieces, usually 1 sometimes 2 boxes at each P. O. Box. However, I got nothing at my home address. I have used 2 home addresses, as I moved after starting the project. Maybe 1 piece at both addresses, and no box.

Wrosie -- I didn't mean actual pregnancy unless that is something you enjoy practicing...I am guessing that part of the reason behind these shops has to do with the fact that the USPS isn't great at delivering non first class mail,

When I signed up, I had to turn over an email account to them. I am guessing that the baby mail is like everything else things days and moving to an increasingly higher volume of email and less and less actual snail mail. So, there is also that.

Curious about those using P.O. boxes--don't they cost nearly $20 a month?

P.O. box fees vary based on not only size but also location. For each 6-month period, my cheapest box costs around $50, and the most expensive ones are about $120. The MSC reimburses for the fees.

RIP

Doing assignments since the days when reports were handwritten and faxed to the MSC.

Yep. RIP. Saw that one coming for a while now. It was very good while it lasted.

If any of your boxes still have 3 or more months left, you should get a 50% refund when you close the box.
