Service Evaluation Concepts

Is any one doing any work with Service Evaluation Concepts. They have a lot paper work to sign up. I am just wondering if it is worth it.

I signed up with them about 5 years ago and have only done I think 2 jobs for them. Their one major client in my are my vehicle wasn't eligible for and now that client is gone. Their other one was a no reimbursement that required about $80 of purchases and the fee on the shop did not justify a second trip to return stuff to 4 or 5 different departments in the store (even though no report was required for the return).

I have done a few shops for them...and they paid per contract. But I am not up for huge purchase and return shops, which is the majority of what they have here, so I rarely apply for any, and usually turn them down when they contact me to ask me to do them.

I haven't shopped for them in quite awhile, but I routinely did over $300 in shops for them every month back in the late 90's!

I have shopped for them, but not often. The shop in my area really is a fun and easy shop - but the pay is really low. Their real incentive to get you to shop is the required product purchase reimbursement which is much higher than the pay. Since I don't really love the products, it is not worth it to me unless I'm at the mall anyway. I found that the schedulers were easy to work with and they pay reliably. But, I think this is the company that pays you twice. Once for the shop fee and once for the reimbursement.

(I so hope I am not confusing this company with another one. It is nearly 2 a.m. and I am relying on my sleep deprived memory.)

They are a good company, however, an expensive purchase return is always required, just not doing that these days. if you don't mind, they are a good Co.

I signed up with them over a year ago but the only shop I have seen requires a big purchase/return. I don't like purchase/returns, especially for large amounts. So I haven't done anything for them.

I like them. I get a chance to put on the ritz.The purchases however can be extreme, rarely do I have a nest egg large enough to support purchasing an European designer purse. If I did would I be mystery shopping? The fees are good and I like the fact that reimbursements are itemized separately- should I be paying taxes on monies I advanced ? They pay in a timely fashion, another plus.Additionaly their account managers respond quickly. Got my husband to shop for them. A systems analyst he doesn't like, and I agree, their computer glitches or peculiarities. Nothing gives you a headache faster than an entry that dissapears!
