    Candice Donaldson [A320RSR4CDN368] 10-minutes, 60 cents(~ 10 minutes) - $0.60 | PANDA


    Fair

    Unrated

    Unrated
    $8.96 / hour
    00:04:01 / completion time
    Pros: If you laugh at the overly dramatic Sarah McLachlan puppy commercials, turn on your speakers and take this survey.
    Cons: Pay is pretty poor
    Requester is estimating an absolutely horrible hourly wage (10min for .60)
    Requires watching a semi-short video (probably 50% of the survey time)

    Nope, and I've spoken to my own post man/lady plenty (they do deliveries in a pair so one drives and the other one drops stuff off) when they've dropped off packages before. The lady is peeved with me for ordering packages often, and basically jams the mail into the line of boxes without paying much attention.

    Bruh, it's not the US DONT DELIVER SHIT Service. People constantly get notes saying they weren't home for their delivery when they were, so it's a town wide problem. Our post office has a 1.5 star rating :emoji_joy:

    And most of the time it's just normal prime crap coming through USPS, most of the heavier stuff like chewy and my boxed stuff comes through fedex and that guy is super chill.

    PE: -$103 due to T-Mobile account in collections even though I haven't had T-Mobile since Summer '16. Pretty sure I paid it off last fall when it was $87 and not in collections but now it just popped up in my credit report.

    So, total newbie question - I've seen some of these where identical items are highlighted separately. Is it safe to use the same explanation and consequence for identical items, or do you need to vary the responses?

    (I'm new here, so if this is a silly question, be gentle with me and just slap me a little...)

    I varied my sentences. "They would be mad at you", "They would ask you to leave", etc.

    Dispute it before you pay. And if the dispute doesn't work don't pay it w/o an agreement to have it dropped from your CR.

    Try /r/personalfinance - I'm not super familiar with the process but I see those steps recommended there on like every single thread ever. My understanding is if you just pay up it'll ding your CR for almost a decade, someone more familiar with it all can correct w/e I said here that was stupid.

    AH HAH.

    I had USPS, back when I lived in a 3rd floor walkup, not bring the giant box of cat litter upstairs and instead basically kick it off the back of the mail truck down the street and drive off.

    They do not like packages.

    I feel this was also amazon's fault because who the hell sends 40 pounds of cat litter via the post office instead of UPS/FedEx?!?

    I sometimes try to vary the consequence. I usually alternate between a few of them.

    But you're a kiwi and so cute, I could never slap a kiwi. But I vary mine. I honestly have no idea exactly what they want.
