    Thanks

    There is a section to add information on why you it took that long. Do you think i should put "it was way too quick and it didnt seem right" or is it nothing to do with me

    These aren't too bad if you can pick an item with £3/£4 odd postage. Probably cost a bit less to return at the local stamp shop . The job is not too timeconsuming (especially the ones that only require 1 call) and there is no petrol or parking to take into account. I weighed it all up and decided it was still a better profit that some of RE or GAPS jobs!


    I did a couple of these recently and the postage was only around £4, and returning the item even less.

    I just used some of the zillions of stamps I have from my stamp shop jobs for the return, & I'm on a postal panel so get loads from them too! :D

    if it was me i would put the times and then state that it was far quicker than the estimated timeframe or something like that.

    i had lots of problems earlier but i am now logged in and i presume it is working even though every time it updates nothing has changed for ages.

    I would say that I was surprised how quick it was. It's straightforward and honest.

    i would just put stuff you actually saw in that box and then they can't question you on why you think that. maybe they had the speakers stored near the desk or on display :confused: i waited less than two mins in both my stores.

    i would leave it for abai or the company to work out what went on unless you saw something obvious! the store will have some explaining to do! :rotfl:

    well ive got a phone call for and a visit to add to my list for bluewater on saturday but most importantly a hotel :j really excited about it as we only get each other tiny presents for xmas as cant afford much else so will be great to have a night away as our treat. have to call and book room in a bit but bit worried as all the dates in notes are shown as unavailable on the online bookking system so i hope theres one room left!

    You have probably got your room sorted by now but I was going to say don't take too much notice of the availability on the website. I have booked loads of rooms on the phone when te website says full. It must just be something they do :confused:. Hope you have a lovely time :)

    thanks i had to release as when i called hotel was fully booked on the nights i could do :( oh well hopefully it means ill see a more suitable one sooner and get that instead!
    I have 2 nights away in essex at a £1 a night deal end of jan so knowing my luck it will be the same dates :D i am hoping for tons of ms work whilst im there at lakeside or anywhere else nearby so the dearest thing we might need to actually pay for will be the toll for the toll bridge to go from kent to essex and vice versa... i am such a cheap skate :o
