    Default Streamate Checks?

    I'm just wondering how long it usually takes for your streamate checks to arrive? I chose the regular mail option, and I get paid weekly. I know the checks get sent out every Wednesday, but now today is Wednesday, and I still haven't received the check that should have been sent out seven days ago. I live in the United States on the east coast. So I'm wondering if it's just me or if everyone gets their checks this late. So yeah, how long does it usually take for your check to arrive?

    It really depends on how mail runs in your area . for me when checks are mailed out on wednesday I get them the following tuesday or wednesday as long as there is no holiday.

    once you find out what day it come it come pretty regularly
    I would check to make sure your address is right.
    and if you changed recently did you do by the cut of time?
    \Monday is paid day for me

    I live on the east coast though, so I'm sure that factors into it. I decided to go ahead an email them asking them what was up. They responded with this:

    "We can reissue the check before 45 days for a $25 fee and after 45 days for no fee. Please let us know if you would like to pay the $25 fee to have the payment reissued along with the check # in question. If you want to wait the 45 days, let us know after 45 days. If you would like the payment issued to a new address or through a new payment method (payoneer or wire transfer), the $25 fee will still apply regardless of the age of the payment."

    I'm more than a little upset. I mean, my address is correct, I haven't changed anything, and there is absolutely no reason that my check should be "lost" in the mail. I have never had a problem with receiving mail in the past, ever. Nothing has ever been lost. All of a sudden there is mail missing? I'm definitely stressing about this because that money was for rent which is due by the fourth.

    I guess if I don't receive the check by Friday I'll have to ask them to direct deposit it. =\ I just think them charging $45 for direct deposit is ridiculous. For MFC it's free, and there's no reason a company should charge that much for local deposits. Not to mention I'll have to pay $45 + $25 for the fee. That's $70! And hopefully they don't take that money from that check, and they can take it from some other money I have at streamate, because if they take $75 from my check I won't have enough for rent. =( I'm very upset because so streamate has been great for me with money, but my first check is lost.

    Sigh.

    West Coast SM girl here. I still do paper checks. I get mine every Monday or so; but when I was waiting on my first check it took about 3 weeks to arrive. So I'm behind by a week or two at this point. Like, my earnings from last week came on the check I got earlier this week. Patience is a requirement for SM. lol

    I get mine on Friday (two days after they're issued). Just wait a few days, maybe call the post office.

    And do a search. There are lots of threads about the same thing.

    yes and they will never cop to it, and those who opted for the $25 fee wont be reimbursed either. SM is a wonderful company to work for, if anything ever goes wrong your just screwed.
    That being said this is the first time its happened. typically on time or early for the most part.

    i had this problem about a year ago..a check went missing and never arrived.

    And then it happened again, and again, and again. suffice to say i was way behind on my bills and almost got evicted because i was not receiving my paychecks.

    so i bit the bullet and just started getting my checks deliverd via FedEx.

    Yes, it takes $30 from my total earnings...BUT...for me it's worth it because:

    i get my checks like clockwork EVERY FRIDAY. . .even on Holidays so there's absolutely no waiting.

    Streamate has always without fail paid us. It arrives every Monday like clockwork. We used to be on Live Jasmin and they were good at first.. Then they missed 3 checks in a row and pushed us into their Payoneer program. Hate that. Get nickel and dimed everytime we used the damn card.

    Are you saying the $30 that's taken from my checks every week is tax deductible and i can claim it at the end of the fiscal year?

    Yes, that's what I'm saying. It's a business expense. It should even be on the 1099 you receive, so there's your documentation.

    ^^Actually, the 1099 SM sends you DOES NOT include the $30 fees. I was going to do this last year until I noticed the amount on my 1099 was the amount AFTER the fees were already taken out.

    So if you claim all the $30 fees it is not going to add up properly because SM is showing that is NOT being paid to you already. So basically they are already "claiming" it for you by not even considering it as being "paid" to you.

    Which is fine really because it's the same either way regardless if you write off all the fees or if they just don't count that as being paid to you in the first place, the number is the same in the end. HOWEVER, it won't be if you deduct all the fees after they have already deducted them from your total at the end of the year. So be careful.

    Sorry, that's actually what I meant. You have all your checks and that's one total. Then you have your 1099 and that's another total. The difference is the fees. I paid fedex fees a few times last year and it actually threw off my account until I'd realized what they did.

    Now, someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't this what that "Adjustments" page is for? I no longer have that page and I don't have any "adjustments" for them to show this year. But do your fees show up on there? If so, you can just print that page for your records.

    I guess all I'm saying is that you can choose to report the same amount that SM is reporting (your earnings minus fees) or you can choose to report your actual earnings and then deduct the fees (I think my accountant chose to do the latter).

    But thanks for pointing that out, Sarah.

    I'm in Canada, on the West coast, and I usually get my checks around Thursday...but some weeks it's been as early as Tuesday, and once or twice it has been Friday or even the following Monday!! I wish it was more regular for me...
    I take cash, debit or credit. I just don't take shit.
