I've just done 3 of these shops - could have sworn they all said between 5-8 pm when I selected them, but just logged on now to fill in report and one of them says between 12 and 5 pm. Did it just after 5 :eek: Any suggestions on how to proceed bearing in mind they are off for a long weekend? Should I just fill in the report anyway? First job for this company...... hopefully won't be the last

If you fill in the report it wont let you go very far after you've entered your time as it will come up with an alert to say that you did it in the wrong time frame - that's happened to me anyway. They wont accept it. They didn't accept mine. At least you didn't buy something you didn't need and only wasted a bit of time.

I have 5 jobs pending on Bare which need to be done by Monday. I said I would do 2 tomorrow if I get them. I don't think I will get them but do they normally leave it so late? How can you make plans for the weekend if you don't know whether you will be working or not?

Thanks Ang

Still not received my payment - not happy. Have triple checked my Paypal account is right in my Helion account and checked my Paypal account and there is no money. I'll email Max but not likely to get a response now until next week.

Mine are still pending also (and past the dates I said I would visit). I am assuming that the fieldwork dates must be due to change (unless anyone knows different and has had these allocated). Bare has done this in the past: put the jobs on the board with a due date, then postponed the fieldwork without amending the dates on the job board. I complained about it when they allocated such a job to me (it was somewhere that I had in my schedule for one particular date only). Bare did apologise and cancelled it (only to give it back to me later with a huge fee that made it worthe me going just for that job).

grrrr i am such an idiot. just done a quick supermarket before 5 and realised that this month it is after 5 :mad: will have to wait for traffic to die down then go back. at least its only a few miles away and i ensured i went with a list so only bought stuff i actually needed. think i will just buy myself a curry for dinner instead on the second visit! annoyingly it was not the one 30 seconds away from my house as that would be no effort at all!

i was early on a job once and phoned them up about it.they agreed it was ok.i dont think the system will let you input if the times are not ok.
e mail them and follow up with a call on tuesday am.
