    Duh SM jerking us around on payments *rant*

    My SO and I have a couples account on SM.

    So we have had some issues with getting our checks via regular mail. The first check after our one week hold arrived the following Tuesday, 6 days after it was sent out.

    The next weeks check we still haven't received, and it was sent out 12/7/11. We asked them to resend it in 45 days for free since it was a small check.

    The week after that a check was sent on 12/14/11, it is about half of our rent, and it still hasn't arrived. We spoke to the mail man and he said there are significant mail delays, but I highly doubt mail is delayed to the point that we haven't gotten checks that were sent 20 and 13 days ago, respectively.

    Anyway, we went to the post office and there was easily over an hour wait so we left. I doubt they'd have it there anyway. I live in a condo so it's not like they have to deal with apartment numbers or anything.

    We had a check sent on 12/21/11 and a few days before we changed our payment method to FedEx. The check arrived Friday, 12/23/11 with no issues.

    So when I emailed streamate last Tuesday 12/20/11 to tell them I thought the postal service may have lost the check sent on 12/14/11 they said to email them if it hadn't arrived Monday and that they would FedEx it to us, meaning it would arrive 12/30/11 (this Friday) in time for rent.

    By Saturday the check still hadn't come, and with the Holiday I figured they had probably lost it so I sent Streamate an email asking them to FedEx it this Wednesday.

    We didn't hear back for a day, and they said they would 'forward it to accounting and let us know when they get a response'.

    I've emailed them 5 times and still haven't heard from accounting, problem is payment changes must be accepted by Tuesday morning to have a payment sent out Wednesday. Our rent is due the 1st and I'm worried they aren't sending our check. They emailed me back saying accounting department isn't open on the weekend and that they took Monday off for the holiday (which makes no fucking sense, Christmas was Sunday). Anyway, I'm pissed because if they are off until Tuesday how can they say the cut off for changes for payments is Tuesday?! They know it's a holiday week and people's bills are due at the end of the month.

    I'm so mad I'm fuming. If they jerk us around and don't send out that check as promised I am done with webcamming. This is such a huge hassle and they take too much of our money for me to be late on bills since the mail can't handle simple tasks and their accounting department takes extended holidays and can't simply reissue our check via FedEx.

    Keep in mind this check was issued 12/14/11! We STILL haven't gotten it and even if they do send it out Wednesday we won't get it til 12/30/11. If we have to wait til next week it won't arrive til 1/6/12!

    I'd rather strip at a club and feel degraded than bust my ass camming and take home 1/4 of what I make stripping AND NOT GET PAID AT ALL.

    /rant

    Any ideas?

    they were closed monday because everyone was closed monday. the mail didn't even come. it is the day that people get off for christmas since christmas landed on a sunday. sorry that streamate gave their employees a federal holiday off- God, forbid.

    you'll get your check. maybe you should get on dp so you don't have to worry about this in the future.

    lastly, i resent your stripping comment. i don't know why but it rubbed me wrong.

    I don't know what DP is, but we have our checks set to come through FedEx for some time now.

    And I don't know why it would rub you the wrong way, if you read what I say about my experiences stripping you'd understand why I say that. It's a personal experience.

    DP is Princess Jenny (who is a member here)'s service. DP stands for Daily Pay.

    Say you work today. You will have the money in your Payoneer account my tomorrow morning. It is the best. However, she does keep 5% of your earnings. To me it is worth it. I will find a thread with the links for more info.

    I highly recommend it and so do many of the girls here.

    I apologize for being so crabby. I am PMSing.

    Here is a thread that explains a lot about it. Please note that she has worked out a lot of the kinks that were happening in July. I have never been paid late...but sometimes I am paid early (one time 3 mins after the day ended!).

    Problem with dailypay is that you need a payoneer card.

    We signed up for payoneer, but guess what, THE MAIL LOST OUR PAYONEER CARD.

    HAHAHA this is a fucking joke. I hate the mail. I hate this day. Everything is screwed up.

    Did you request another card?

    If you go to "Other Work", Nissim from Payoneer has a thread where you can post your troubles and maybe he can expedite a card for you. He answers the posts regularly.

    I would suggest you get a payoneer card and pay the extra $30 or so to have it sent via DHS to you. That way there is some accountability (a tracking number and only you can sign for the package) for the mail even if it gets lost/misplaced.

    As for living in a condo, usually when DHS/UPS delivers to a condo they go through the security desk. I used to live in a condo and whenever I had things sent to me the security would always call up to my unit and ask me to come down. If you don't have security DHS will leave a note with a pick-up location in your box or on your door. What's also really good is that they call you 30 minutes prior to showing up so you know when to be expecting them.

    I got my payoneer card that way. Currently I live in an apartment building/house. It took about 5 days via DHS and the first time they attempted delivery I was not able to make it home on time. So they left a note on my mail box. Even if you don't get a note on the mail box, 24 hrs after ordering your card you do get a email with a tracking number that way you always know where it is.

    Its obviously a problem with your address/postal service man and not streamate if everything mailed to you is getting lost. Try getting a PO box.

    Do you have a doorman? Try writing "LEAVE WITH DOORMAN" or "LEAVE AT SECURITY DESK" as your address line#2 on everything.

    I love how they want to make cutbacks within the postal service when they can't even get it right with the people they do have.

    I've always had problems with them. I used to run an online shop and you wouldn't believe how many times they RTS packages to me claiming the customer's address "didn't exist" even when it was a Paypal-verified address >_<

    I'm glad to hear you are waiting on your MFC check too. Every day I get more worried that mine's not coming, but I've heard a few other people say they are still waiting for it too. I've never had issues with MFC or USPS, so I'm not super concerned, just want my money.

    I hope you can get it straightened out, Laurisa! I have had one time a late check from them (over a week) other than that they've been ok..
    Have you talked to your post office, see a supervisor, or emailed them? (I'm sorry I did not quite read thu your post) I had a mailing I sent out, & when I emailed about it, it got straightened out fast
    I sure hope it gets straightened out asap for you!

    I get my SM by FedEx every week because I'm paranoid to go through USPS since I had a check go missing. I had just started camming full time and I needed every check I got . It took me 3 or 4 weeks of constant emails until finally the original check showed up in my mailbox. I sent them an email saying to just forget about reissuing the check, I had already gotten it. I got a response saying they were glad I got my check and that it wouldn't be reissued. I cashed the check, paid my rent (which was late by now) and the next day I got an email from another SM employee saying that a stop had already been put on the original check and that it was going to reissued anyway.

    TL; DR My check got lost in the mail; cluster fuck ensued.

    December is always a crazy time all around. and most places even banks take the Monday or Tuesday off after Christmas. I couldn't make any deposits until December 28th, cause Canada december is a holiday.

    so if your really concerned about the payment schedule with stremate then I suggest switching to payoneer or princessjenny dailypay or wire transfer from streamate. Check in the mail in December is always a worry time.

    Yeah, I just like getting checks because then you get a paystub to keep for your own records. And no issues proving income, etc.

    When mine came through USPS, I almost always got my checks on Monday. Now that I go through FedEx, they come on Friday (so 3 days sooner, not 4 days later).
