Since there is very little on here about this MSC I thought I'd post about my first time shopping for them. They have a client which is an Asian eatery which I believe originated in the UK and is generally found in large and tourist-friendly urban areas. They used to be shopped by the UK-based HGEM/MysteryDining.net. (As an aside, I was recently visiting an area in the UK where HGEM has shops and discovered they had deactivated me because I didn't log in for six months, and apparently I can't ever get my account back. Oh well! I don't think they have had any US shops in quite a while.)
When I needed to make a slight date adjustment the CX Orlando scheduler got back to me right away. The guidelines and survey were clear and reasonable. On the day of my shop there was a small change to the purchasing requirements and the MSC proactively emailed me about it. (A pet peeve with ACL is how guidelines will change post-assignment without any notification.)
About I submitted the survey the shop was quickly approved and I was paid the full amount due within the promised time frame.
The only detractor was that when doing the survey in Gigspot I found that I couldn't upload the photos on my phone, save the survey, and then finish the narrative on my computer. The survey won't save unless every field is filled out with the required number of characters. I've never encountered this before, although I often have other frustrating issues when trying to toggle between my phone and computer in Gigspot. The next time I shop for CX Orlando I'll just email myself the photos, download them to my computer, and do the entire report on there.
