    GGGGRRRR RE are doing well this week, I done a music store 3 weeks ago, gave photo of store and receipt, today they advise the photo is not suitable as it was taken when it was dark.......it was at 1 in the afternoon and the photo is perfect.

    I have the whole name of store and the entrance with offers but this does not suit, probably because there is someone standing at the entrance.
    :money: giving me & my darling boys a better cheaper life :o:A

    Tell them that you're willing to re-photograph it for them, on condition that they pay you twice the fee.

    The last month or six weeks have been my busiest yet. Particularly for ABAi who have now taken over BARE as my favourite company to work for. Great fees, simple jobs, excellent questionnaires, brilliant staff.

    You know.. I actually enjoy MSing but feel I'm really missing out in the MS world as I can hardly ever get any of the jobs everyone keeps talking about. If I'm lucky I get the odd meal or bet. I've even spent a lifetime on line eveynight trying to see if any jobs turn up. I'm guessing the MS co. have their eyes on me and only put the jobs out when they know I can't check lol

    Never mind.. one day I will rule the MS world !!!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Just had to put in a steaming report to RE-it was appaling and would have complained had I not been MSing.

    This is the side of MSing I don't like-when the service is sooooo poor and you have to smile sweetly and walk away.

    Which companies are you registered with? Not all work on a fastest finger first basis - and not all the FFF companies are quite as bad as RE in terms of work disappearing. I picked up 2 really good jobs from GFK this evening.

    With you ukm, Aba-i have been great to work for, surprisingly Ive never had any issued with Gap either, RE were my fav before but the questionaires and requests are just a bit overboard at the mo.
