I will work on this on the next few days but most of the info is very old and outdated.
I have been using all of these the last 2 years and I will update what other people have started along with some tools on how to buy on multiple accounts if people want this info. This is just a quick first draft. I will clean up and add more details.
please dont .... up the work I will put into this. please message me and I can add more data and I have more buying groups that I can add

Does anyone have any recent experience with EMB? How long does it take from the time item is delivered to getting scanned into their system and to sending a payment?

they are fairly quick with check ins and payment, but their batting average is lower than other groups. by the time you confirm something is missing, they are very slow to respond to anything. creating a ticket in their system can take weeks to get a response. if you are considering sending them items, my recommendation is to stay away. if you already have, good luck. pack your patience.

Thanks, my batting average with them is 0 so far. 3 items were delivered last week on different days but have not been checked in. Sent email to their support box - no response. Opened missing item ticket - nothing happened. Is there anything else I can do at this point other than warn others to stay away?

I don't have any idea why, but I've had very good luck with Walmart. Probably 90% success - the only orders canceled were around Black Friday / Cyber Monday times. Amazon is probably 95% success, but I have had a couple of orders canceled by them. I've had a couple of orders from Office Depot go through, but every order from Staples and Best Buy has been canceled within a couple of hours of placing.
I'm very satisfied with both BFMR and Pointsmaker. Of the two, BFMR is my favorite simply because of how quickly and automatically they pay. Pointsmaker has always paid, but you have to request payment and it usually takes a couple of days at least before payment is available (I always request an e-check and they work great).

yeah they've been pretty terrible. My items haven't been scanned in since December 7th. Do you have any updates on your package?

I would pretty much count the package as lost if they scanned though a date and yours wasnt scanned. One lost package is all it took for me to stop completely. Other ways to spend that's safer
