    For those who have done the Egg shop visit, do you ask the staff name? I normally read the badge. Yesterday the staff who helped me with my enquiry didn’t even look up to acknowledge me, and directed me very fast so I couldn’t see the badge. I know in answering the question it says the name required but nothing in the instruction notes which says ask for the name, so I am confused! I just gave description.

    Thanks in advance

    This happens, just give a description and tell them why you don't have a name.
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Anything between 3 to 10 days after they have paid. It's not straight away.

    Thanks to SUPERLISS, managed to pick up 3 shops on ABAI, 2 on RE this morning and a phone call which takes my total to about 22 for tomorrow. Proper bricking it! Eeeeek.

    How do you manage to pick up so many shops? Whenever I look they are so few and far between, is there a particular time you look for different companys?
    Thanks

    Make sure 'open visit' is checked, and 'other' for the location. Then put a * in the search field and click search. Then you can sort them by postcode.

    It's pure fluke. Normally I don't get as many as this. All the visits are from 3 companies, so I guess it helps when you have built a reputation with them and you get allocated what you show an interest in on Sassie. I seem to get first pick with REACT and RM, so I'm happy.

    Thanks bab, you are the best. Normally it's quiet for me and I get about 3 a week. This week and next week have just been pure fluke. Got so much to do. Have decided to buy lots of pet food at some of the supermarkets and donate it a cattery as it's not all about me. Ain't I lovely?

    Good luck all and hope you all pick up loads of visits.

    surely TNS can save money and paper by not sending out the pay summary letters.
