It could take from 5 minutes up to 48 hours to get a response.

It is your responsibility as a shopper to check under your "Assigned Shops" after you have put in your request for a shop, to see if you were assigned. Make sure to check everyday until the request has been removed from your requested shops list!!

Also: If you have NOT received an answer back to your request and at that point know you cannot do the shop due to the time frame, make sure to go in and Un-request the shop from your requested shops list so that you are NOT assigned.
