Ahh, can anyone help me - I have done a job for TNS tonight and gone to log on to submit my report but haven't sent the link from my work email to home for the report. I am in Worcester, Midlands - does anyone have the email address for the area manager they could PM me so I can ask him to resend? I know his first name but don't want to post it here (but can say if people want it to know I'm genuine)

Thanks!

Have PM'd you.

This is the 1st payment I am awaiting from BARE, but I haven't received anything yet and was wondering if anyone else has?
It had been showing as payment pending, then is now showing paid 19/12.

So does anyone know when payment should arrive in your account?

Someone else helped me with this last month as it was my first payment from then and I thought the Bare payments seemed slow. Don't know if its typical but the payment didn't hit my account until the 1st of the following month but showed on their log page as being paid on 26th of the month - may be something to do with exchanging it from euros I suppose. So perhaps it will take 5 days again though I expect it could be different with Christmas and depending on the speed of your bank.

I think it was me that had said to you joeyjimbles about the pay being the 20th of the month as per the FAQ's section, but I hadn't done any assignments for them till last month, so I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one waiting on pay.

On another note is it correct that abai pay you cash for the jewellery counter jobs at a catalogue shop? I have just opened 2 envelopes with £10 in them for said jobs. What about the vouchers are they sent just like that in the post???
It doesn't seem a very safe way to be sent payment.

Hi all

I got a call today regarding a m/s but i couldnt hear the woman very well. She said something about a sarnie shop and i had to do it by tuesday and i know the town etc. but i said something about sending me info in my email box and it sounded as if she was saying no you just log on.... Thing is i didnt catch the company name 2 times i know i should have asked a bit again but i hate it sounding as if im deaf! So does anyone know which companies actually call you to tell you of them then i can have a look through random ones i joined to see if anything there

^^ Re me.... they emailed me last night so know who they are x

I also got an envelope on Friday with £10 cash in it from Abai. I was very surprised. Is this their normal way of payment?

I have always got paid in cash from Abai so it seems to be their normal way of payment. I thought it was just the way they paid their Irish shoppers.

I've always been paid in cold hard cash by ABAi, too. I agree it's risky in this day and age, but in their defence, they do send it in a large envelope which looks like you are receiving a mail shot about something boring so I wouldn't think anyone with 'evil intent' would think it looked worth opening just in case.

I thought it was vouchers though? Or is some of them vouchers and others cash?

Sorry, I can't help there - have only ever been paid in cash.
