I had picked up a couple of the ESA frozen shops and think they have made a mistake with the dates.

The "summary" briefing notes say
• Date/Day required: Monday 7th or Tuesday 8th May 2012 only
Then the PDF detailed instructions say
Note: Visits cannot be carried out at Weekends or Bank Holidays

Given that Monday 7th is a Bank Holiday that means that they can only be done on the 8th.

I will give them a call on Monday and double check as I was planning on doing mine on the Monday :eek:

Is it a UK Bank Holiday or just an English one?

They certainly can drag on.
I've done 2 and got out in about 45 minutes each.
My get out was to say that my OH will be putting it on her credit card so I need to come in with her when she finishes work. They then just put the holiday on hold for me for 24hrs.
Worked a treat both times.

Meanwhile.. Does anybody have any experience of customer perspectives? I did my only job so far for them back in mid March and haven't seen the money yet.
I know they pay by cheque but does anybody know when? The OP says 21 days maximum. Their website just says once a month but doesn't say when.

Yes...I did my first job recently for Customer Perspectives. I received my cheque about a week after I'd posted my invoice.

I would do more if they had the work.....nice company....decent fee and a decent report I thought.

Maybe you could give them a ring?

I did some work for them in January - we received the cheque 9 days later. I would give them a ring.

iphone - headphones plugged in - coughing at "timing points" such as reaching counter, paying, receiving food etc. play back recording at home and time it. Never fails.

Thanks to Lil'me for this tip.

This makes me smile every time! Very 007 :rotfl:

Yep, mine have gone too. Just emailed as I was planning to do some tomorrow. But id it's not just me maybe it's a system thing.

I have just gone in and self assigned all of mine again. I wonder what is going on there?

Yes, same here. I had 2 jobs booked for this week and they've gone too. I'm hoping it's just a glitch on their side and they'll be restored tomorrow. *keeps fingers crossed*

Update, just received this email -

We are very sorry to inform you that due to a database error the Intel shops you have Self assigned where not recorded in our database.

We would like to ask you to re-assign the shops to yourself and check if they are listed under " My Current Evaluations".

Please note shop dates will start from tomorrow.

For your information we will add more shops next week.

Again appologies for the inconveniance caused.



Kind regards,
Ernst Aben
Managing Partner.
