It could be as quick as just 48-72 hours from when you place your order. Usually, it’s within two weeks of placing an order, because we need to source the best shoppers, verify their availability, and educate them on your specific requirements. Your specific geographical location(s) will also affect this – those in outlying/rural area may take longer. Even though we have more than 1 million evaluators in our proprietary panel, the panel mirrors where the population is, but rest assured, we can cover any geographical location.
No way! But, you can easily re-order, and you can also place a recurring order.
Only if you place a recurring order, or want to easily re-order. If you are placing a one-time order, you can check out as a guest without creating an account.
CustomerOptix has more than one million independent shoppers who have signed up in our panel throughout North America, and we have extensive demographic information about each of them. We assign them based on the quality of their past work for us, geographical proximity to each location, and the general profile of your typical customers.
Shoppers are provided with a combination of videos, written documents, and online instruction on your requirements.
Before it is sent to you, every report is read word-for-word and score-for-score by one of our specially-trained employee QA specialists. They make sure that the shoppers have followed your requirements, complied with our quality & performance standards, and performed great work. They also provide the shopper with detailed feedback and grade them on each report, so that they know how they've done. Shoppers must maintain a minimum grade average to continue to receive future shop offers, and the higher-graded shoppers receive more shop offers.
We're obsessive about quality. Though our system has many automated checks in it, every report is reviewed by an actual human. Our robust QA process includes a 28-point integrity-validation checklist. Included in this is geo-coding on reports, requiring receipts to be submitted when purchases are made, and more.

We've designed each survey to promote high submission rates, but this will still happen. Usually the information they do submit is still valuable, so you'll receive all surveys that a customer begins, whether fully-completed or not. That's one reason we created an all-inclusive, unlimited-surveys pricing model.
Because these are survey responses from your actual customers, the reports you receive contain exactly what your customers submit.
