Could anyone let me know if/when/how you find out that a report for GAP has been accepted, please? I keep checking my email in case they have extra questions for me to answer!

If they have questions they will ask, but I have found this to be very rare. Usually you don't hear anything until you get the money - upto 8 weeks later.

Can anyone else not see any new RE jobs?

There's been masses advertised on the alerts thread over the last couple of days, but all I can see are some airside jobs and some manky pubs that have been hanging around for ages

I've not seen any new jobs since they removed the "search areas" box where I used to type my home postcode in to see work, as it showed jobs that never appeared in the "available assignments" list.

Yeah GAP say if you have a bad experince just to note it in the end part for your comments, as its saves any clients querying them. (well thats the idea) :j

I have over 90 jobs available on RE but none actually near me. LoL.

Can anyone who has ever done the tapas jobs for RE please PM me, as I could do with some pointers. I know what I need to order and am not a novice but I had a few questions specific to the job which therefore shouldn't be posted here. Some of them are ones I have also asked RE, and am waiting for a reply to my email.

In response to the person who was defending Sithara - when I had a problem being paid before, she told me I had to complete a Direct Debit form so they could pay me. The first job I did was arranged through their Canadian office and they do seem to have a totally different idea of what should be happening with payments from in this country so hard to say who is at fault.

On a different note - someone asked about customer perspectives - I have done work for them, easy, friendly and quick payers, in my experience !

It was moi who was defending Sithara. She only allocates jobs she has no say over pay issues as the Canadians deal with that. I just feel she is such a lovely person to deal with and she has told me she gets stressed by irate shoppers looking for their money. Now this is understandable but there is little she can do about it.

I agree about Mystery Customer Perspectives...they are super to deal with. But after doing 3 jobs I haven't heard from them again. So does anyone know if you only get jobs from them by email.?

And in case you all think I am forever moaning I like to give credit where it is due. I did a last minute job yesterday for RM. They rang me this morning to thank me for doing it and said they had 2 others ( mini supermarkets) and rather than offer them out they were giving me 1st refusal. I was happy with the fee but they had actually checked the distance and are paying me travel. It is nice when companies show that they appreciate the efforts we make by accepting last minute jobs

Me too
I have had nothing shown up all week in my area. There are usually one or two.I tried just putting my hometown and no postcode in the defined are but still nothing!!Really frustrating.
I notice they have the stamp shops,no purchase and less money the Gyp...even non of those near me and they are good filler jobs for when you are passing!!
Grrrhhh

I now have 243 jobs to view in my RE account; none in my area though. LoL.

Same here. In fact it has been slow in my area all round. I have no jobs booked at all.

Thanks loads Mike.. that worked great.

I'd started to type up a report (had cut and pasted the questionaire into a word doc. and was going to email it to them. So glad I checked back to see if anyone had responded Many many thanks :T :T :T :T :T


Now that lovely little vino is getting opened well before xmas hehe:beer:

I decided to liven up the product picture a bit with the Vino by taking a picture of 2 glasses of white wine beside a full bottle of white wine in front of a nice chicken and salad dinner!

LoL. I made an arty pic including the shopping bag. I went for the non alcoholic option because I drink lots of pop and had run out; so this would be free pop. And I always take choc out with me as I get hypoglycaemic. I then made up the total spend with some beer. I never used to deliberately go up to my limit but I now do/will for these jobs.
