I agree about AA. They have a variety of work, but they like to give everything in one area to one person so it's a bit all or nothing. I found that they had things like posh shoes and expensive jewelery then opticians and young peoples shoes. It's hard to fit in to not look obvious in some of the shops when they want you to do all of them.

It really annoys me , every month they send the list out, every month I email back within 15 minutes saying which areas I can do, and then I hear nothing until they send out the "Urgent jobs left to cover". Just once, I'd like to get them!!

Ive found that about OC recently too though, nothing ever appears on the allocation screen anymore, its always sent out by email, with the first reply getting the decent work

might have 3 jobs for this afternoon :j

I emailed to say I could do them but it was a big mileage trip so if they could up the fee or pay towards mileage I'd do it. Jobs disappeared so assumed someone else would do them, re-appeared today needing doing today - phoned them up and waiting for a call back!

Well done!!! :T

Still waiting to get any of my work approved!

So, they want to wait and see if someone else applies for the jobs! They been accepted and released twice already!

Has anyone tried getting a little extra out of the MS co's for extra mileage?

Have seen a few jobs that various co's want to be covered tomorrow and Thursday, they are a little out of the way but they dont want to budge on the fee! Makes you wonder exactly how desperate they are to get them covered.

I have found out something very interesting with RE.

There are 5 bedshops showing as available in my profile. I pick my nearest and suddenly all the other 4 dissapear meaning that its a only 1 per shopper.

Seems fair to me :j:j........rather than 1 shopper grabbing all the local jobs!

Nice to see you've read the first thread

Q. I've just taken a job but lots of available jobs disappeared at the same time. How can they vanish so quickly?
A. Often, Retail Eyes and/or their clients, only allow you to do one job of that type from that "wave" of jobs. So if you see 100 pub visits, and you accept one, what should then be 99, may drop to 0 as you're not allowed to take any other the other pub jobs. This is purely an example.

Had an email back from OC (first time they have ever replied to me) - saying they will only add extra fees on if it is totally last minute.

So lets hope for their sake that the job gets taken, because I cant do the job if its given last minute!

However, I have always found GR to be very accomodating - last time they changed a fee for me, the guy did it whilst I was on the phone and it updated immediately
