CHC Solutions

Is CHC Solutions out of business? I have been googling them and they seem to be gone.

I just recently received an email from them so I am assuming they are still in business. I noticed most reviews are about 2-3 years old. Does anyone have any recent experience?

be cautious, scammers use old logos and such from mystery shopping companies to trick folks into doing stuff that will cheat them out of money.
What kind of mystery shopping company would be in business but not have a website?? Danger, Will Robinson, danger.

If your path dictates you walk through hell, do it as though you own the place. -unknown
I just declined an offer for a casino shop after reading reviews of how much work it would be. It sounds like a legitimate company, but not worth the time and risk of losing the reimbursement if your report isn't 100% perfect.

Yes, we do have a website, the URL is [chc-solutions.net]

You should have your website updated on the master list of companies elsewhere on this site, as the website listed there appears to be inaccurate.

Also, your website does not appear to have a shopper application/portal. How would someone apply or find available assignments?

Doing assignments since the days when reports were handwritten and faxed to the MSC.
Mellifluy shares--I just declined an offer for a casino shop after reading reviews of how much work it would be. It sounds like a legitimate company, but not worth the time and risk of losing the reimbursement if your report isn't 100% perfect.

Bob comments--The above could have easily been posted by me several yrs. ago. After reading the guidelines, I knew I lacked the ability to provide the required information; I immediately notified CHC of my withdrawal. To my recollection, this was the only occasion for me to flat out cancel a shop.

In fairness to CHC, it is possible the requirements have changed, as that was 10 to 15 yrs. ago. In addition, other shoppers certainly could have superior recall and fly through the job.

A final comment: IF one has the slightest aversion to extensive narrative and/or would suffer from a rejected shop's non-reimbursement, take heed.
The thread is too old to bump. Just search CHC and you’ll find it.

Difficult to work with (owners).

If MickeyB won’t work with them, neither will I.
I've done many casino shops in Maine for chc up until 2020 before the pandemic hit. The instructions are clear and the interactions are many however if you list them as a text you won't miss any. My reports have been returned for revisions and I never have been denied. Mandy, I've moved to Florida and would love to do them again.
It was a pleasure working with you all those years ago. I have shops in Broward County if interested.
I you are going to say something negative, then use your real name. If a shopper attempts to submit false or incomplete information we don't submit to a client. We do our diligence.

read; please make it easier for us to penalize you for saying something negative. Apparently positive comments from pseudonyms are welcome?

Seriously though, do the required diligence to understand why many have decided not work with you.
For the far greater number of shoppers, I agree with Steve, but not for me.

When in 2003, I entered the business and found the Volition forum, it did not occur to me I should employ an alias. Soon after, there was a post directed toward me that since I had chosen to be overt, I should temper my comments. Having been an independent contractor all of my adult yrs., I elected to remain opinionated.

I never flake and possess the ability to submit a report for the most demanding of clients. Any MSC undesirous of a relationship with me has merely to pass. This is not me being contrary; it it me being me. I choose not to type shrouded in anonymity. Even knowing then what I do now, I probably would have spurned the cloak.

Having used Bob Engleman on Volition, when I joined this forum, Shopperbob seemed a good fit. If, though, the money one earns from shopping has even the slightest importance, REMAIN anonymous.

Are you reading a different thread than the rest of us here?
Nobody suggested that false or incomplete information would be submitted.

Bob, I literally never made the connection the connection between your Volition name and this account, so I guess it did provide some anonymity!

My pseudonym provides a bit more geographical info, but back in the Volition days I was working as a scheduler and most people knew my last name from that anyway.

I can definitely say that knowing shopper identities on Volition affected how they were treated by me as a scheduler, but mainly in giving them opportunities. I don't think I ever overtly mentioned it, though.

(feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I am getting older and my memory of that time is fading)

These days, you have to hide your identity more as protection from vindictive forum members than MSC staff. The MSC's should understand the need for anonymity, since they are continually harping on us not giving away our identities.
