Does anyone know if Retail Maxim, Abai or React are going to pay before Christmas what they would usually pay at the end of the month? Got loads of dosh stacked up with them and could do with getting it before Christmas to buy the turkey.

Not sure about the other two, but hubby got a payment from abai yesterday (hardware visit). However, I am still waiting for payment from them for a petrol job I did earlier last month...... Will be having nut roast if it doesn't turn up

Looks like I picked a good day to go off the radar and go on an Xmas shopping trip to Norwich - Not one single alert all day!

ESA paid today - Enormous Turkey (or maybe even an Ostrich) for us this year !

I've recently learnt that emailing them is useless. I rang once and things were dealt with quickly so just going to ring in future or ask for a personal email address instead of just sending it as god only know where it goes as all sorts of different people reply.

As for ABAI, OMG, they send me some money in the post. Dodgy or what?

Have a look at their website:

Therefore we will no longer be making payments by post via cash or cheque. If you are not already registered for our electronic payment system via BACS, please follow the link below:

Just a point regarding RE - incase you wonder why no jobs are showing. They also visit these forums and its not hard to work out whos done jobs in areas so maybe they are starting to make sure you are abiding by their rules "At all times the intellectual property and information relating to client audit assignments remains confidential and must not be disclosed to any third party. Failure to retain client confidentiality will result in the immediate suspension of the employee. Registered shoppers must not participate in divulging or sharing commercially sensitive information to other registered shoppers or via public forums such as internet forums or consumer discussion boards."
So if your discussing your jobs be aware.

This one's lost on me ! who said there's no jobs showing on RE ?
For me personally there's about 50+ jobs showing.I think its well documented on here that the MS Companies do view this thread constantly
Do you work for RE ????????
