BARE International Reviews 

I did several purchase shipment shops. I am yet too be paid. There is an exorbitant amount of 3 surveys for each assignment for $15 dollars. They rarely respond to emails but require a response in 12 hours. It is not a scam but you WILL be decieved into doing double the work that is justifiable for the pay. Plus requires an advanced computer knowledge for screenshot that many could struggle with despite that I missed multiple items and was in a depressing loop of returned surveys. Anyone with a brain will not do these shops they suck, take at least 2 months to pay and require so much work you could get more money panhandling on a busy sidewalk.

manipulated and scammed people with no intention to pay for the shop

Very sketchy and questionable practices!
I've worked with a lot of these different companies that do work like this and this one is one of the more sketchy ones I've dealt with.
They robbed me of payments twice and used really stupid excuses to deny such as the picture of the shipping label being shown on the package WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SHOW WHAT KIND OF SHIPPING IS ON THE PACKAGE or to show it's destination! They would clearly arrange instructions in a way such that they would have an easy excuse to deny payment after receiving all of the data. As soon as I checked on them here after seeing numerous red flags I knew they would be a problem.

Do not work with this company as your chances of legitimately getting paid will be hit or miss and questionable at best!

Over the course of several years, I did dozens of interesting studies for Bareinternational. Thanks to visits to gas stations, I could save a lot on fuel, and audits in bars and hotels perfectly combined business with pleasure. Contact with the company's representatives is very good, the remuneration is adequate to the difficulty and, most importantly, always on time.

Z firma współpracuje od dłuższego czasu. Na początku dużo niepewności. Udało się je wszystkie wyjaśnić. firma płaci na czas. Ważne jest aby poprawnie wypełnić formularz płatności. Potem już z górki. Firma płaci w EUR a nie w PLN. Nie każe nagrywać rozmów z sprzedawcami. Chyba, że jest to badanie telefoniczne.

Świetna współpraca od wielu, wielu lat! Firma wypłacalna, ciekawe badania z przyzwoitym wynagrodzeniem.

I have worked with Bare since 2014, and I'm happy with that cooperation. Good source of additional income, you only apply for whatever shops you like, there is no minimum shops needed to stay active.

I would advise not to waste time and effort with this company.
Take ages to pay and the guidelines were not clear.
I have been working with a lot of MS companies and always prepare my scenario well. Recently I got an assignment from Bare and I checked the scenario. I then performed the visit and to my horror the scenario has changed when I tried to fill in my report. I contacted them and has been told the scenario was for the month before. There is no logical explanation why I would have access to the last month scenario except they forgot to update it.

All the reviews from other people are similar to my experience with this company. If I could give 0 stars, I would. They would make you chase after the money you worked for and cut the pay when you have clearly done the visit to the brief. Unlike other companies, there is no clear date when you will get paid from this company.
I did the visits in SEPTEMBER and it is now the end of November, still not paid. I have sent the final email requesting payment but not working for them again. This company is so unprofessional and no integrity.

Avoid them, they don’t reimburse and I get the feeling they’re pocketing the cash.

Completed efficiently quite a few assignments for this company and although they take a while to pay you (as per their T&C) I eventually got paid.
Not any more. .....seems other evaluators are having the same issue.....is the company having financial issues?
Assignments completed successfully in May finally got paid at the end of August and after many many emails going backwards and forwards. And they take ages to reply to emails. I received the email from them saying the payment had been processed via PayPal but I never received it. After querying many times they came up with the flimsy excuse that the payment was declined by PayPal. After speaking to PayPal it was clear that there are no issues with my account and Bare is just making up stories. Asked so many times for evidence of the declined payment, but I never received it.
Finally got paid! And guess what? Exactly the same is now happening with another payment.
Really not worth the hassle to earn a few pounds! If you are interested in this type of work please sign up with other similar companies....they pay promptlyunlike Bare International.

I have had issues today. Spent a long time preparing, reading and re-reading brief, gathered loose change, went to various shops spending small amounts to gain £5 notes as not available at cashpoint. Dressed appropriately. Queried one aspect of assignment that was not clear. Received email. Rang venue. Told restaurant closed. Pushed for further information. Told I could order food at bar but restaurant closed for private function. Unsure what to do. Did not want to have assignment classed as invalid after spending a large amount, transport costs and time wasted. Set off to venue. After 1+ hour bus journey advised to return in the evening when restaurant open. No mention of extra time/costs. Asked for bus fare at least. Not referred to. Asked to re-book for September. My fault, I should of prepared earlier however would of taken same amount of time. Restaurant could be closed anytime at short notice. Sickness, power cut, last minute function. Had I enquired yesterday and told restaurant open and arrived and it was closed would of been told I should of rang today. If Abandoned would not be happy due to today's deadline. I consistently get 10/10 for one company and excellent feedback from another. I give 110% to all assignments. No UK phone number, Facebook provided automated response. Time, energy, money wasted. Deleted website. Will put effort, time and expenses into companies who are contactable Monday to Friday and give clear instructions and do not criticise efforts. I should of read reviews earlier I would not of bothered agreeing to this and not wasted cash or a full day preparing and travelling.

Made me conduct 2 audits back to back and excluded both despite conducting visit in pouring rain and completing the audit. Payment given less than 50% for filmsy reasons. Have conducted many audits rating is 9 always but their high-handedness and attitude is seriously a question mark. Oh ofcourse Saturday Sunday they are not available.

After not working for this company for a few years, I thought things might have changed, however I am being cheated out of payment.

I was assigned a visit, whereby I had to arrange an appointment before visiting. I made 6 calls to arrange the appointment, but the agent did not answer.

I was persuaded to make more calls to arrange an appointment. No where in the brief does it specify payment would not be made if an appointment cannot be arranged. It only says payment would be withheld if you do not contact them after 3 failed attempts, and I did contact them and I was provided with a new number to call

Now they are refusing to pay. Why are they going against the contract? There was no mention of payment not being made if a visit could not be made. They did not even stipulate payment would be halved if a visit could not be arranged. Instead they kept making me make calls. This is a blatant breach of contract. I fulfilled my obligations of the contract and I am rightfully due payment, yet this dishonest company are trying to scam me out of money I am due. Beware!!

i made a test for them, paying for the meal out of own pocket. didnt receive anything.

Don’t pay and never answer but they want you to make everything in the 24 hours or less.

It’s been more than 3 months

Tried to contact my manager and she never responded any messages.

Don’t do it. It’s not worth it.

I never had problems with payments or my field supervisor.

Said that, we are penalized by the evaluators for issues beyond our control during the work we realized being paid 50% of the agreed fee. Not right and not fair.

I had previously written a poor review as I had not received payment for two jobs I had completed. After several emails back and forth I have now received both of the payment I was due. I have retracted the previous review and written this one

They ended up workIng very hard to ensure the payment due to me was paid. I appreciate the due diligence, and can admit when I am wrong. Thank you April, and Sandra🙏😊

I have done a few mystery food visits for BARE in September and was told I get paid at the end of the following month. 2 months later I have not been paid and no one is replying to my emails.

Very disappointed in how unprofessional it has been with pay considering I helped out on shops with less than a day notice.
