Last week I asked for a shop (online only) with my fee. I did not get any confirmation form the company at all. Today early morning I browsed all shops they offer and accidentaly discovered the shop (not online) in my to do list with date that was yesterday. I was able to reschedule it for 6/5. It seems like a new feature from MF: not sending confirmation at all.

Over the years there have been a few times i didn't get a confirmation email, though usually I do. I'm glad you were able to reschedule it.

I have encountered this every time a MAO is offered. Sometimes I forget to check also. I wonder if they really do not want us to receive the shop for an increased fee, hence, the almost secret way of salying we need to counter with a $3 differential or just assume someone else got the shop.

yes, I did. But with such shop they silently changed the subject. There is a big difference between online shop or visit. I will never apliy for visit shop because such place is far away. An hour overall driving.

Interesting they can't fill delivery shops near me at their bonused amount. And the new month they start at base.

My latest peeve with MF is the daily solicitations for shops I don't qualify for.

You'd think MSCs would effectively apply data they have at their disposal.

Oh. Wait. What the hell was I just thinking?!?!?

I still have not figured out how to accept a counter offer, which is always an amount that does not align with that $3 rule.
Example:
I offer $30
They counter with $29
Maximum I can resumbit is $27, with no way to accept the $29.

Is there a secret trick I'm missing? Has anyone been successful with this? How? Thank you.

they posted it for $22, and I asked $28. Seems lke they approved it without sending me email about the shop They silently changed the shop from online to in person.
