Right, I have just been given a couple of these.I did one a while back and it was a nightmare.

Any suggestions about the returns scenario?

I will start with one.

I bought these thinking they were dry roasted but they are ready salted. Have to be careful with my salt intake.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

Cheers.

Some ideas a couple of pages back. Buy biscuits and bash them so they're broken. Crunch up your crisps. Say you think whatever it is doesnt taste right. I was considering adding a little salt to make it taste wrong but my wife reckons the staff won't be bothered. They'll either sort it out or look at you as if you're daft. Either way just write it as it happens.

Still waiting to get allocated even one job. My 32 applications are still sitting there.

I made an irate call to them and told me to take me off their database as their company are amateurs. They asked me to hold fire. I remindeded them of my 140 round trip I did for them.. And companies want loyalty. Well that goes 2 ways.

Any newbies avoid them like the plague. They are a crap amateur company.

Bordrs it would help a lot if you like me phoned them and as many as possible of us did they would have to rethink or they are going to lose good experienced shoppers.

My payment came in today from RE and is fine. Previously though part of a payment had been moved from one date and put back to the next pay date (with no explanation). Maybe you just need to wait till the site comes back up on Monday.

Thank you for your reply!
I've worked out the breakdown of my due payments from RE and you are probably right as I've been paid for all but one of the payments due.... bit annoyed if that's what they've done as it was a large reimbursement, BUT as long as I get it at some point it's fine :rolleyes:

thanks again, I'll contact them next week.

I did 2 petrol jobs - both addresses muddled it appears. 1 postie hand sorted in depot, 2nd never arrived. I contacted ABAi, who sent a cheque for the 2nd job.

Quick call to them wil resolve if you're still waiting as they're aware of their error on this one.

I called them on Tuesday 22nd December and was advised that only a few were sent out with wrong address details, and that bulk of them were sent on Friday 18th December.

This I don't really believe, as everybody who has stated that they have received petrol payments received them WITH the wrong address, none seem to have been sent out correctly.

They asked me to give it till the New Year, which I will do , giving them benefit of maybe Christmas post causing delays, but I am really unhappy about this.

I have received all 6 catalogue shops, and none of my 4 petrol, coincidence??

The other thing that worries me, is it may have alerted post office staff that these envelopes contain cash, and could lead to one or two going missing in the future. (I have never had a problem with Aba-i before now).

I will be calling them on Monday.

Signed up to them 6 months ago. MS'd for 5 years for a variety of companies. Still waiting to be assigned a job with ESA, have applied for many.

One of the food shops I applied for a fortnight ago, I was sent an email this morning telling me it was available and telling me to apply.

Your post confirms my thoughts...will ignore all emails in future.

If more of us did that they would be in !!!! creek without a paddel.

Certainly if they phone me again then I will raise it with them.

Have only been MSing since end of October so still getting used to the companies and how they work. Have done a longer trip for ESA already when they called. When I took the job they asked if my wife (who doesnt MS) might be interested in another job a further 20 miles away! Now had two calls about food stores that nobody's applied for. That suggests that they might be stretched in my area. So give me the jobs!!

If they would hurry up and allocate, or unallocate, the jobs then I would certainly have a better idea of what else I could do. There are some locally that I ignored because it was 2 jobs reasonably close by in one direction, when I could apply for 12 others further afield in the opposite direction. Five of them in one town.

I could be hanging around outside shops, stopping people and whispering "Psssst, wanna buy some eggs?":easter_ba
