  • Thanks I did some mystery shopping years ago but I do not remember who it was for. I might try doing it again because I enjoyed it .
    I love competitions

    Hi put a question on friend been offered mystery shop work for media / telephone /bb companies doing packages in retail places around the area. Anyone done anything like this? she thinks might take lots of paperwork and memory.

    With the ABA-I catalogue shops... Is there an easy registration link like with most of their other clients or do I have to phone the number they sent out in the emails?

    Also did my first MO assignment for a clothes shop yesterday. The report form was definitely the easiest I've filled in so far... I hope they give me more in the future

    What I find a pain is that the things you have to buy are always big and you have to carry it round with you for an hour while you do other jobs.

    I look the items up on the website before hand and work out which will be the smallest!! There is usually at least one that's not too bad. The first one I did though was the last on the list, and I'd looked up items, one of which was a mahooosive rug!! Was thinking I'd have to end up dropping it as the times the job needed to be done I couldn't have had my other half outside with the car to bung something in!! Luckily the last thing on the list was a small kids toy which was fine.

    Mimi, it does tend to be one of those jobs where you do stick out a bit like a sore thumb, but I tend to just act a bit scatty, like I keep forgetting things, or am asking a question on behalf of someone else so wasn't thinking about it a second ago!!

    Surely the person offering the work would have explained what was required or could your friend ask them
    who exactly offered it ? an agency etc or the company direct ?

    and yes, memory will be required :cool:

    Thank you dear. However, enough said. I don't do carrying big things around, plus not overly keen on the said shop.

    Thanks for that. I think this visit would be far too challenging for me, sometimes the local store only has one member of staff and I just don't want to look like a complete numpty.

    Have dropped both of them in West Yorkshire, so if anyone wants them, they are all for you ;):p:D

    PS. Has something changed with the express stores on TNS? Most of them in my area are still available. Normally these all go in 20 seconds flat!!!

    Same here Mimi, I have just picked up a fair few. Hope nothing has changed, these really are nice easy jobs.

    Glad to see all the opticians in my area on RE have not been taken..the previous company couldn't shift them for a higher fee so doubt very much that they will for that fee. :rotfl:
