Not being funny, but maybe you'll want to delete the details of the React shop. It's practically giving away the scenario!

Give them a call to tell them when you are doing them. Last time I did what your doing they gave me a bit of grief and said to just call them next time or else they'll think your not doing them.

I've had some hassle with them when I've gone over the date I SAID I would do jobs - even though its still been well within the timeframe.

Now, I book just about the last possible date - and then, if I do them before that date, its fine. I did tell them I was doing this and they said its not a problem. Saves wasting some of the reduced fees on a phone call!

I'm on the reserve list for a shop with Abai and it's been released 3 times now! I keep getting the emails to notify me to get on their website to grab the job but as soon as I get on there it's gone again! :mad:

Why do shoppers accept the jobs and then not do it? I can't understand this mentality. I would never accept a job unless I was certain I was able to carry it out. There must be a lot of shoppers out there who let these companies down all the time. :eek:

I take MSing very seriously. No wonder the companies (and I mean the other ones - not Gap and Esa, who ring everybody) call me when they've been let down at the last minute. I think it pays in the end if you show that you're reliable.

It has been known for people to accept a job on a monday which needs to be done within, say, 2 days but the person cannot do it until the friday so they would release it on the wednesday and then accept it again immediately giving them a further 2 days to complete it.

I thought Abai had already cottoned on to that. If I can't do a job until the 3rd or 4th day I always ring them and ask for an extension and they always give me one.

I had this with a shop. Always late at night so leapt to my laptop and it was gone. FOUR TIMES!!!!!!!!!! I was so mad and in the end when i went the fith time it was actually there and i couldn't do it. I would have done had it not been dropped four times in a week.

was very annoyed

Just seen the mail order scenario on react but there aren't any expenses. Are returns free then?

I can't see why anyone would want to purchase a handbag for over £400 over the phone and then return it for a measly fee. That's £400 out of your account for god only knows how long it takes them to refund you. :eek:

No thanks!

I don't have that sort of money lying around to be used up for MSing.

They should have just done an enquiry only call for that fee. It's just not worth it.

I think it gets returned by courier at their expense. These bags cost a fortune, couldn't possibly trust RM for that one.
Please don't tell me you're going to do it! :eek:
