    I had a bookshop one pending for about 2 weeks I think but it didn't have any queries. Just took ages and was fine.

    ESA are usually very quick to authorise but the last few weeks have been really bad. I did some funerals on the 24th of last month and they only got authorised on Friday! The eggs shop were very quick thugh so I assume they needed the results of them. I think it depends on the project.

    I am not worried about any of them at this stage though as there is another 2 weeks to go before it makes any difference.

    Thank you - if they're taking ages generally then I'm less worried :rotfl:My funeral one was done on 5th and authorised some time last week I think.

    RE: Proof read pending on client as well if they have a project that is due first they get those all done then go back to reports that were queried and still pending.

    Who have you tried calling at JKS...?
  • IMS are conveniently ignoring my emails regarding extra payment for the Mexican food planogram checks I did for them last month. After 45 minutes, the per-hourly rate increased. I have been given some extra payment, but not at the agreed rate as per the brief. What is most telling is that I have been given two different amounts for two calls when I spent the exact same amount of time extra in store (20 minutes).

    No doubt when someone finally does respond/take my call, it will be their oh-so-delightful manager, who will avoid actually dealing with the issue at hand with his bullying and put-down tactics.

    Good Lord. Some of the allocators are RE are so bloody thick. If you explain something in detail, why the hell do they not understand it? I even told him how I felt when I could not complete the visit! Are they and the proof readers all bloody numpties or what?
  • Interesting to read that RE have been bought out by Market Force. I wonder if it'll change much. What are Market Force like to work for?
