    Angry Streamate Mailing Paycheck Issues?!

    Anyone else ever experience this or similar?

    I received my first paycheck from SM in the mail as expected on time last month, on a Monday following a Wednesday issue date.

    Second paycheck was issued next, and never arrived.

    Asked Liz about the second paycheck after 9 days passed, kept getting the answer, "just wait and see," until 2 weeks later after I asked in the tone of one last time, "where's my money?!" ... Liz said my check was just returned to the office and that I have to update my address on file. Um.... my address is correct. My mailbox is secure. I always get mail here. I asked for the mail return code on the envelope to see what USPS supposedly said, and she said the envelope was thrown out.

    So Liz/accounting confirmed my address on file was indeed correct, and a second paycheck was mailed out again on June 2. Still hasn't arrived.

    First class business mail does NOT take this long. I'm not an idiot.

    I think there was another girl that was having an issue with waiting for hers, too. I've gotten my first two paychecks from them in the mail on time with no issues. *knocks on wood*

    Sorry you're dealing with this, OP. Occasionally I see SM hiccuping with checks from you ladies and I was once there as well. Two checks weren't even sent, I had to hunt SM down and wait for them to issue another. That's all it took and I never looked back. I do not play with my coin.

    My suggestion is to either sign up for Fedex shipping (think it was $30), sign up for SM wire transfer ($40), or sign up for payoneer. When I used fedex, though $30, I got my checks on time, each time. In fact, they knocked on the door to make sure I got it. I get fedex costs money but I think hustling $30 extra a week for peace of mind is worth it, or signing up for FREE payoneer.

    Thank you so much. I might take your lead here because I'm not trying to play with this either..thinking of moving on since this pay period just ended.

    If I may ask, where do you cam now? Or are you an independent? <3

    I used to cam years ago for other sites and switched to being indie back then til I let it all go for boring vanilla work. So I'm back. I forget which outlets are the best for listing yourself, so I'll run a search.

    Though I'm signed up all over (cams, imlive, AW, etc) my ISP isn't as strong so I put a few on the backburner that I used to split with. I mainly just work independently whilst running SM in the background. I work multiple eggs to supplement my income.

    Mind you ladies once SM sends out checks on Thursday, it's in USPS hands. If your paycheck cannot make it into your hands, contact the USPS customer support. SM sends out our checks like clockwork.

    USPS has returned my bank card twice in a month. Address on file was correct with my bank.

    This is what I was thinking/wondering about, too ... considering FedEx checks seemed to make it on time, and I haven't seen any complaints about Payoneer or a Wire ... it looks like they're issuing and sending payments on time.

    I'm sure it hasn't helped with the reduction in processing centers and the like over the past year or so either.

    I'm not paying outrageous fees ($30 for FedEx, $40 for wire transfer, or whatever Payoneer's fees are) to get my paycheck, that's all I know!

    You don't see problems with those methods likely because A) they're traceable and B) SM profits from them.

    Since I am full time working from home - I was able to filter and chat up my mailman he was able to tell me on your check there is a yellow/orange stripes on it that has a date of when they process your mail. that gives you an idea of how regular or not your mail service is.

    When I started using payoneer years ago there was a hiccup now that my payoneer is loading my funds directly on my card there hasn't been any issues with it.

    When i was getting what I thought was direct deposit from payoneer to my bank account - payoneer screwed up and was sending it as a wire so i was losing money. then when i tracked it down it was fixed. now global bank transfer is no longer offer in Canada so i am left with leaving my money on the payoneer card and trying to calculating their fees in my dead and deciding when i to take out all my money, use the card to pay bills or even use the card when I travel on business.

    It's so frustrating. Of all the sites I cam and do phone sex with, SM is the ONLY one I've had intermittent trouble with, as far as getting my checks.
    I love using FedEx, because it's ALWAYS reliable.
    *Just a suggestion to offset the bullshit $30 charge.
    You can have it set up to send your check every 2weeks , or even once a month.
    That way you only pay $30 once, twice max.

    yep. i was having issues with my mailman not delivering mail when it was raining. Here in Florida, it practically rains everyday. he also would shove packages that were too big into my mailbox. four complaints later, fixed.

    I also think wire transfer is worth every penny. when I first started it, I was hesitant about $40 fee but honestly, funds are in your account on Friday and there is no "give it a few days". If you don't want the run around by SM about waiting for your check, which is also what USPS or FEDEX will also tell you...invest in the wire transfer option.

    Op, I've done the Wire as well for $40, still guarenteed money. But if you can get credit card cash advances through your bank you can just send the money from payoneer (you'll still get paid on Friday) and you'll save $30-40. For 2 years I paid for either the wire or fedex check and I was over SM keeping yet more of my money so I switched to payoneer and haven't looked back. I just send the money to my regular bank account, or I'll take out money at the ATM using the payoneer card, and buy a money order- take a snap of the money order as a 'check' and it deposits into my bank account instantly. SM also offers Direct Deposit through payoneer but it's $3 and I think it hits the following Monday.

    Liz told me to go with another method like Payoneer "because it's traceable," Yet that's a lie... because Streamate gave me this little lovely pop-up message when I tried to switch to Payoneer today:

    "StreamateModels is not responsible for funds after they have been submitted to Payoneer. Payoneer is not required to follow federally funded bank guidelines; they do not provide confirmation numbers and are not guaranteed like bank wires. We will provide whatever confirmation we have that funds have been sent, but StreamateModels is not responsible for performer/studio access to those funds in Payoneer. All disputes of funds not received should be directed to Payoneer customer service."

    Um, are you fucking kidding me?

    No.

    No.
    You have to take chances in life. You already know that depending on SM to send your check by regular male is a risk that has already proven to be negative.

    Try it out, lots of people including myself (outside of checks) have never had issues with receiving payment from SM. Anything can happen to your money and whether you get a check, wire, or payoneer; there's a small chance that something can go wrong.

    It's either you part with $30-40 a check/wire, or you trust the system, save your money, and hope it works out. I haven't missed one payoneer payment from SM yet. The only downside for payoneer is that their fees are a bit much. Maintaince, atm fees, instant deposit, etc they do make their money. However, you're going to pay either way via $3 direct deposit, wire, fedex, or hell walmart/check cashing if you don't have a local bank.

    I say go the cheapest but most guarenteed route which to me is absolutely payoneer. It's less than $30-40 and pretty much guarentted on Friday. If you wanna pay $3 for the DD, you'll have your money 3 days after everyone else but then again if you waited on a regular check it would be the same thing.

    Thank you for that info. I got my check yesterday, i.e. June 13, and the date on the envelope said June 9.

    Also, with the post mark, don't forget that a lot of the times payroll with have pitney bowes machine or 'post mark' it themselves before it gets picked up from the post office. So they'll put a later date on it and let it sit there, lol. They say they do their payrol on Wednesdays so they put them out the following day I guess.

    So do you guys usually bypass the fed ex fees & get regular check by mail? I've paid the fed ex fees twice now & feel that it's eating into my money too much. So if the checks are sent out on Thursdays how many days does it normally take to recieve yours? I'm trying to save money this way as I don't have a payoneer card yet. Thanks
