CX Group Website Issues
Anyone else being limited to competitor's Pick up shops? I have scheduled two and now I get that I have to email the Scheduler. Instructions list 8 as maximum for the period.
Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Same. I'm wondering if they're just throttling the system so that it doesn't get overloaded? Idk.@whosear wrote:

No competitors here, at least not yet..
I saw the competitors earlier, in the middle of the big mess. They are all gone in my area!
Odd. I was able to sign up for 4 competitor and 7 Kroger pick up shops. I'll wait and see if any are removed.

Help, please? Where can I find the instructions that list 8 as the maximum for the period? TIA

No competitors shops ever posted here, at least not that I found. I've been re-signing in every 15 minutes since they fixed their glitch.

I just had a scheduler strongly encourage me not to do more than one pickup on the same day. They indicated this could out me as a shopper and make me no longer eligible to shop.
I believe their old guidelines/recommendations said that three locations were possible per day and the scheduling itself is limited like this (if you try to do more, the date is not available). I have been doing three per day for over a year. Has anyone else only been doing one pickup per day? With gas and far distances, there's no way I could do one a day and have this be profitable.
Would love to hear if others have also received this warning.

Limits are listed in the Overview.

Overview states 8 per period. There’s no per day mentioned.
There is a warning that more than one shop at a single location (pickup, in store, fuel) will be allowed on the same day starting in September.

Thanks. I see them now. I don't think they were there when I self-assigned my shops. I could not even self-assign more than 4 shops. I can now.

Just for clarification, it seems that starting in September, no more than one type of shop per location will be allowed. That is, one Fuel, in store or pick up shop allowed. This is to reduce the chance that a shopper is ID as a mystery shopper.
Thoughts on how this will affect your shopping of these shops?
I'll probably shop the ones closest to me, but it will be more difficult to shop a route. Additionally, there are two or three locations that have difficulties in being shopped that I anticipate having more bonused shops. We'll see.

I was also strongly encouraged not to do more than one pickup per day. If you can only do one pickup in a day and can't pair it with an in store shop, it's going to get much tougher for these shops to be profitable. I drive kind of far and wide for these and can't justify driving to these far flung places on several different days for a single pickup. I'm definitely concerned about these changes.
The manner by which the grocery shops work for me is (A) to only accept locations I will either be driving by or no more than a detour of two miles round trip. or (
to visit stores with a bonus of at least $20 AND forming a route in conjunction with non-shopping business. B worked well until May, when the locations began being taken at base.

I do full routes of grocery shops. Many of mine are in areas where there aren't other shops to do. I have never seen a shop bonused in my area other than a couple of very remote coastal areas. The jobs are basically completely wiped out in a day or two. Glad you found strategies that work for you.

This will have no effect on me. I've never seen any fuel shops in my area or any pickup shops except for competitor ones.
My son and I have been talking about it. I think we need to send an email to the scheduler and get specifics so that we know what we need to do next month so that we can afford our groceries.
Has anyone done the Compliance shops on CX for the Breathalyzer client? Are they worth the trouble for $25?

Do you use the breathalyzer, then drink several beers and use it again to see if it's calibrated right? Wait, I think they already have a way to calibrate it without the consumption of alcohol. Never mind.........

Yes and yes but it was partly because the rep. didn't do a good job.
Has anyone had any luck interacting with someone other than a scheduler at this MSC? I'm having an issue and potentially having a (mis)communication issue with the scheduler.
I'm trying to work it out with the scheduler but it regards a shop scheduled for today and I have not yet heard back. I would prefer not to have to go above the scheduler but also don't want to have to pay out of pocket for this job if there's any way around it.
Thanks for any advice.

Try this phone number -- it was Second-to-None's number, don't know if it's been changed since they changed names. Follow the prompts to get to your department: (734) 302-8400. HTH

Wow, the queen of the nicely-bonused grocery shop! Thank you, I appreciate it!
