    ive just got my first hardware store for TNS - now receiving lots of emails about following things exactly. For anyone who has experience of these are these easy to slip up and make mistakes with or are TNS being over cautious?
  • One of my assignments I completed has been missing for 6 days now. I phoned them yesterday and they said it had been approved for payment on Saturday, but it's just not showing up under payments bit.

    I wouldn't mind so much but it's a hostel visit so the expenses are a fair whack so I wouldn't want it to get lost in the system.

    Oh yes, just checked, so have mine! 10 for each job - but none for completing on time :confused:

    And OT .. but everytime I see your username I think it says "nearly had lesbian" !!! :o

    Im only getting 10 for each job and not the extra 2 and also had -2's for lots that they released off of me without telling me :mad::mad:

    this is because who ever picked up the other one they are visiting on that day i just rang then. yes they are doing two per store this is normal apparentlly.

    the email explaining why this was taken fof of me states that this was an error so how can they tell you it is normal? :rolleyes:

    Have they re-called some of the sports jobs? I deliberately stayed away from these as something didn't ring right.

    No, they never explained why (it was lost in all the new system emails they didn't reply to)
    I assumed it was because they made a mistake in posting the jobs and needed to recall them but I'm just guessing.

    Im just getting concerned as so many jobs keep disappearing off of me - no responses to my emails. I took a different sort of job last night and now planning saturdays work around it and checked and its still in there this morning so hopefully thats a good sign :o im getting frustrated arranging days and then suddenly lots of jobs are now no longer needed and ive planned everything around them.

    i had busy saturday and sunday with lots of work (reschedules due to snow). did have lots planned for today but feeling really ill with stomach pains so getting them all reorganised for saturday as thats the next time I am in that town. got a few more jobs this week weekdays as well but then next week I dont have anything at all :(

    the duplication was a technical error and now if you cannot see the job any longer it is becuase you had the one thats not needed and has been deleted - according to email. would be interested to know if anyone has still got a sports job?

    if this happens and you do end up paying buy cash just remember to take a picture of receipt before returning items i should have done this but lucky i had transaction number.

    the first time i tried one of these visits for some bizarre reason my card was declined :o:o:o how embarrassing! and i couldn't pay cash as notes had said not to so i wish i had known in extreme situations it is ok. it is not good to have card problems when you are ms :o:o:o and you forget everything you should be doing! done lots since and all been fine thankfully. id rather have forgotten my card as at least that would be less embarrassing than the bank declining - it was an error with the bank needless to say as both of my banks are useless most of the time!

    I haven't personally but remember people saying it was a nightmare so never applied.

    I've still got mine. I loathe these shops but I need some new gym kit!

    Does anyone know if there are restrictions on the amount of RE station jobs? I'd apply for them if I could do 2 or 3 at the same station, but its not worth it to me if I can only do one - not for those fees anyway :p
