    I saw the underwear ones and read the info. Looked at the price and thought, are you joking? YOu have no chance. Plus having to make a purchase and take it back!

    Still, people will more than likley accept them!

    I don't bother picking the return ones, way too much hassle for the mini fees. And you look like a complete t**t taking it back after a few hours.

    I'm having a quiet few days now. Everyone else quiet or getting loads?

    Anyone else find REACT fees really low? The pride themselves on being the only MS company to pay mileage but their extremely low fees seem to make up for any extra you get for mileage.

    They're not the only MS company to pay mileage.

    No, and some pay decent fees as well as mileage too!

    And their mileage isn't at a great rate. Am fairly new to MS but have just done a job with double the mileage rate (and a much shorter questionnaire to fill in as well).

    I've always wondered the same but they seem to have very loyal shoppers and the jobs go quickly.

    I'm possibly biased because they have never allocated to me (due to location) but their allowance wouldn't cover my costs to my nearest big city and then the fee is really low. I now don't even look on their job board now.

    The email sent out by TNS a few hours ago about remaining DIY jobs (to all fieldworkers I think), is it me mis-reading it correctly, or have they actually being dumb enough to list a shop in Bangor as being in Northern Ireland?!?!

    React not good me for me as I only do jobs in my city and I just walk! Too lazy to go further! However it is good if you do visits in other towns. They allocated me one 40 miles away where I was going to do other shops so that wAs a big chunk towered the petrol!

    No, they are right - North east of Belfast.

    Cheesy peeps! Is anyone else laughing as hard as I am at GFKs latest email? Sign up to an 18 month phone contract, for a fee commensurate with 40 mins work? Ummm. Sod off!
