HI, I'm Brandy and I'm new to this. I was wondering if a shop can be done and submitted before the due date scheduled?

Hi Brandy, no shops can be done /completed until the day stated on your assignment instructions. When you choose your date to do your assignment, that's when you should start. Read the instructions carefully as to how and when to submit your report because they're all different. Good luck!

Thank you so very much Ms. Tara. I truly appreciate your help and support. Best of luck to you as well in your journey of success.

Thanks Brandy! Good luck to you too.

A lot of the shops have a date range and the shop can be completed any time within that period. If that is the case you will see a reschedule button when you open the shop and it will give you the dates it is available to be shopped. My experience has been that it will only allow you to do this once so choose carefully.

It depends on the company. For example - Wendy is correct for In Touch as you can reschedule but Goodwin you can't reschedule. You need to cancel your shop and request it again with the new date.

Good advice all. I just had one that I had to make a purchase one day, fill out that part of my report. Return the item within the next few days and finish the report.

So DO READ the guidelines carefully and don't assume that a shop you did once is going to be the same next time.

All these posts are excellent! I also just wanted to add that recently (thus past Friday), I had a phone shop where I had to call and get info and then fill out my report and send it in for review. However, the location wasn't open that day due to weather conditions. What I did immediately was contact the MSP and let them know what happened, so I wouldn't be penalized for not completing the shop on time. I guess they made an internal note regarding this, and are allowing me to complete the shop tomorrow (Monday).

Great advice folks!

A lot of shops have the option of rescheduling them by yourself, and even those that don't can often be rescheduled for an earlier or later date - you just need to contact the schedulers and ask :)

Yes, always good to stay touch with for the MSP regarding shop dates. Happy shopping
