Can someone please confirm the due by dates on aba-i it says by 3rd does that mean I can complete and submit on that day or have to have it done before the 3rd. It's not exactly clear.

If it as the discount clothes store then it depends as the brief mentions the specific date of the visit. Either Fri/Sat/Sun, you then have 24 hours to write it up and submit it.

E.g.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

---

1) This mystery shop must be undertaken on SUNDAY 3rd May 2009. 2) Please complete the feedback on the same day as the visit.

Thanks to those who pointed out the extras involved in the chemist jobs. I wouldn't have got one anyway - which leads me nicely to my next question. Do I really live in the centre of nowhere?

I am stuck in miserable Teesside and am amazed at how ALL the RE jobs seem to be further north (Newcastle way) or further south (millions in Leeds area, but $od all in the middle.

Are there just loads of shoppers here who beat me to the jobs, or are there really no chemists up here?

(not just chemist jobs - there seem to be loads of jobs in the the Leeds area all the time, but not so many here).

Ah, now don't be horrible about lovely Teesside - just wish I still lived up that way, well, Yarm, anyway! I did a pharmacy on in Redcar last time, but think they may rotate them as couldn't see any in Derbyshire either, unless I was too late and they'd all gone. Don't get hayfever so prob a waste of time for me from the sounds of things.

I am going up to Berwick upon Tweed, my home town (yes 100 miles north of Teesside!) next weekend, if you could post or PM details of anything for up there next weekend pls?

Only leaving them the opportunity to say "oohh there's the door"!

Is this one visit or two visits you're doing? Bit odd if it's one visit. You could raise an objection on the colour or the feel of the jeans too.

it is one visit in the same store - which is fine perhaps if it was the only shop with seperate staff and areas, this visit is for a concession in a large retail store, which the same staff work in all areas and is quite small.

the brief specifically says to object on price and guage their reaction... ;(

I know this wasn't directed at me but I've sent you a PM with some details.

Yes, sorry the Berwick bit was, but I'd clicked quote already, so being lazy didn't bother going back to see who'd made the post about it, so thanks for picking it up.

By the way, the bit about this...

Oooooh you are brave, I asked this question yesterday and got a bit of a slapping for being thick (don't worry I didn't mention your name Nads.... oops just did!:o).

The person to PM and ask very nicely is Hollypear, unofficial company spokesperson at the moment and can I say doing a very good job too....:T

...was more about the fact that it had been thoroughly discussed on the previous page, so think people get a bit annoyed when people ask about something without reading through properly...

Anyway, reagarding React Surveys, maybe to save your wrists HP (best to BCC people in one go - saves time & you're not divulging people's email addresses.) but also if anyone just wants to sign up online here's the website http://www.reactsurveys.com/BecomeAShopper.html

Thanks Josie, have signed up.

I will keep a look out for Berwick on Tweed jobs for you, but nothing showing just now. In fact, RE only have about 5 jobs showing for me, 4 of these are chemists in the Leeds area, and the other is a pub in Richmond.

Yarm is ok (my local town in fact) but we moved here from Wigan when I was 11 and I've never really assimilated! Home is still the north west! Also, I'd prefer to live somewhere more rural.

I don't get up to Berwick v often only a couple of times a year, but am going up next weekend. I used to live in Yarm, but moved to Swindon in 2001, now that IS grim! Then Derbyshire in 2004, but agree would like to live somewhere more rural like Hutton Rudby or somewhere N Yorks nr the Boro!

Anyway, yellow and red mix phone shop logo on Abai but no jobs as yet.

Hi

I'm new to all this mystery shopping business. I've recently signed up to a few but can't see to get anything for Northern Ireland. Is there anyone on this board from NI and if so, is there much about in terms of mystery shopping.

Thanks

I'm not from NI, but I thought I'd just reply anyway.

I've seen a fair few jobs online - 'stamp' jobs and GAP pizza jobs spring to mind straight away. There's also a chain of petrol stations that only exist in NI and Eire (named after a gemstone).

There are probably many more too, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
