Beyond Hello

Beyond Hello
Overall Rating: A

  • Number of jobs/clients: Above average
  • Type of jobs: Varied, including retail and food service
  • Rate of pay: Average
  • Speed and method of payment: Paypal, 3-7 weeks (by 20th of following month)
  • Bonuses offered?: None known
  • Software: SASSIE
Advantages:

Beyond Hello has a very usable website (using the SASSIE software system), including a searchable job board and detailed shop log that includes past feedback and payments. They are also quite reputable about paying on a timely basis. Shops are posted often, and Beyond Hello does send detailed e-mail notification as well.

Beyond Hello offers a large number of shops, including some very large clients. Beyond Hello also has a good track record of timely communication with shoppers and fair treatment. The shop guidelines are clear and you receive good instruction as to how to complete the shop. Their schedulers are known within the industry for their professionalism and good treatment of shoppers. I would definitely recommend Beyond Hello.

Disadvantages:

Beyond Hello requires a sample shop to be completed and rated before you can receive shops. BH also requires the use of Paypal with no other payment option. One major shop (eyewear) requires nonreturnable merchandise that is only partially reimbursed, but may be appropriate for you if you were already planning the purchase.

I have done a handful of shops for Beyond Hello over the span of a couple years. Unless it is a new requirement, I have never been asked to do a sample shop for this company.

I've been registered with them since august 2005. I did this sample shop, it's not an actual store, just your story. ... But I can't get a shop from them. Every time I apply, store was assigned to another shopper. So....GOOD LUCK!

Beyond Hello is a great company to work for, as I am always recieving shops on the regular, sometimes more than I can handle. The first stepo is compeleting the Sample shop, which is quite simply, pay attention and be very detailed. The key to receiving shops with this company is to oay attention and be very accurate. Lastly I never have probelms with them because I do what both the client and the Comapny requires and I am rated as one of their top shoppers.
