Shop ‘n Chek is a good company to work with. They are reliable and pay on time. They also have a wide variety of assignments all over the world. Many shoppers report that this is one of their favorite companies to work with. As with most mystery shopping companies, if you wait until the end of the month to accept assignments, you have a better chance of getting bonuses….because the companies have deadlines that they need to meet!

NSS - National Shopping Service

NSS is another well established company. Their pay isn’t always the highest — but they are very easy to work with. I remember when I first registered with them, I recieved a phone call just a week later with an offer for an assignment. That’s what makes them stand out — they are very good at communicating with you, and very responsive to your telephone calls. If they ever have an assignment listed that you want…call them and ask for it! Many shoppers report getting every assignment that they called and asked for.

About National Shopping Service:

National Shopping Service first opened its doors in 1972 as an organization dedicated to private investigation before being acquired by Paul Bingham in 1985. Bingham’s family – which included his wife and six children - handled most of the mystery shopping duties, and operated the business out of their home. Clients quickly began to hear about the successes other companies experienced using National Shopping Service, and the mystery shopping took off. Before long, business was booming – too much, in fact, for the Bingham to handle it alone.

In 1990, National Shopping Service once again changed hands as the Business Index Group’s Matt Wozniak acquired the organization. Wozniak continued to provide quality service to his clients, and the company grew exponentially. Throughout the 1990s, the reach of the National Shopping Service began to slowly begin creeping across the West Coast and eventually spread throughout the country. The Internet boom of the 1990s added to the success the company enjoyed, and before long National Shopping Service became synonymous with quality mystery shopping services.

In 1999, the company made a physical move, leaving behind Los Angeles for the tranquility of Northern California. National Shopping Service began developing relationships with companies and Europe, and continues to operate on an International level. Today, thousands of mystery shoppers make up the company’s pool of mystery shoppers.

About GAPBuster Worldwide:

GAPBuster Worldwide was established in 1994 under the direction of the company’s current Group Managing Director, Phil Prosser. Eager but unable to find a retail company with a successful means of monitoring its customer service, Prosser decided to launch GAPBuster in New Zealand. The idea behind the company is geared at eliminating the “gap” between the company’s service goals and the actual service customer’s experience on the sales floor – hence the company name GAPBuster.

The company transferred its corporate headquarters to Melbourne, Australia in 1996, and continued expanding its market throughout the Pacific area. Within a few years, GAPBuster began serving clients throughout Asia and into Europe, and still working hard to “bust the gap” between the sales floor and the client’s service goals.

Today, GAPBuster serves clients in more than 35 countries, and employs a full-time staff of 250 employees. GAPBuster’s mystery shopper force tops 250,000 mystery shoppers around the world. In addition to the corporate offices in Melbourne, Australia, GAPBuster also operates regional offices in the following locations: Cumming, Georgia (USA & Canada); Hampshire, United Kingdom (UK and South Europe); Copenhagen, Denmark (North Europe); and Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo (Japan).

The company maintains at “Quality Philosophy” aimed at provided clients with the same quality the clients themselves are seeking through the use of GAPBuster’s mystery shopping services.
