Mmm I suppose. I don't know enough about the legalitites of such things!!
Oh well, the more issues with products that companies have, the more they will pay us to buy it!!

Unfortunately these companies pay very little and you can be out of pocket for quite a few weeks if your chosen store happens to have a lot of the said product in stock and you have to buy the lot! Not an assignment I'm in a hurry to repeat

Agreed, 3 months on my shed still stinks from the 30+ bottles of Oil. At one point you could smell the stuff from outside with the door shut.

I'm a bit worried about the new "Pilot" on ESA, looks remarkably like they've copied their assignment details from a certain other company *cough* RE *cough*

I was lucky then really as I didn't have to buy loads, and they were reduced because of the date anyway so luckily I'm no really any more out of pocket than I for some normal jobs.

I've always been reimbursed for any products bought??

Has anyone got their ESA money this morning? Mine hasn't been paid, grr.

Yes but you use your own money to buy the stuff and it can take up to a month to get your money back. That's what I meant when I said "out of pocket for quite a few weeks"

I have been trying to increase the number of companies I work for, can anybody tell me about AmberArch, I am a bit concerned because the reports seem very involved for such a small fee. I have looked at a garage job but am not happy about supplying third party details (although I could make up a totally fictitious person with a real postcode? Many thanks and happy Wednesday

I've been signed up with them for ages but have found their fees too low to bother with them.
