Book online at undercovershopper.ca/book in about 60 seconds. Pick a product, enter your Surrey business address, choose what you want the shopper to pay extra attention to, and pay by card. We assign a vetted local shopper within 24 hours.
Can you check how my Surrey team serves first-time customers?
Yes. Your agent visits as an ordinary first-time customer. Pick focus areas like greetings, product questions and pricing when you book, and add anything specific in the “Anything else worth flagging?” box.
Do you cover other cities south of the Fraser?
Yes. You can book visits in Langley, Delta and White Rock as well as Surrey; enter your business address when you book and the visit goes to an available agent near that address.
Are the mystery shoppers actually based in Surrey?
Yes. We only assign shoppers who live within their stated travel radius of your business, so the person walking into your Surrey location is a real local customer who has no connection to your business. We never use call-center or AI-generated reports.
What kinds of businesses can be mystery shopped in Surrey?
Most often: retail, restaurant, cafe, dental, plus gyms, dental practices, cannabis dispensaries, and other service businesses across Surrey. If you can buy something or be served at your business, we can shop it.
How long until I get the mystery shopping report?
Reports for Surrey missions are typically delivered within 7–14 days of booking. We schedule the visit window, dispatch a vetted local shopper, and QA the report internally before it lands in your inbox, with photos and a clear pass/fail on the checks you picked.
Can I tell the mystery shopper what to focus on at my Surrey business?
Absolutely. At booking you choose up to 5 specific things the shopper should pay extra attention to (for example "did they suggest a wine pairing", "was the bathroom clean", or "did the cashier mention the loyalty program") on top of the standard service, cleanliness, and product checks.
Is mystery shopping legal in British Columbia?
Yes. Mystery shopping is a standard, legal market-research practice in British Columbia and every Canadian province. Shoppers act exactly like regular customers: they buy, observe, and report. They never deceive in a way that creates legal exposure for you.
