    Like this post if you get really annoyed with Gyp's enquiry section!!!! WHY DOES IT ONLY SEND MESSAGES 30% of the time!

    I have given up. I just send it to the email correspondence now. I still get a reply.

    Been on the GAP page and several assignments for chain of shops won't let me sign up for this as
    This assignment cannot be selected on this occasion due to a shopping rule. Please select another shop date or try again next week/next month.

    Why is this? I had only done only one assignment with them 3 weeks ago tomorrow.

    I have never found it to crash but it is very sloooooow if you use dialup or slow broadband ( like wifi). This is because the page refreshes after every entry. It's not noticeable on fast broadband. GR is otherwise one of the best companies so you might want to put up with it.

    It's still sat in my "you can pick this visit" on GR. Looks like no one else wants to pick it either. For that fee, it's appalling, it's a full on MS with a purchase (which you can then refund!) and you don't even get a reimbursement. How RA managed to get them allocated is beyond me as their fee was worse than GR!

    I never understood that either! I agree it's not fantastic, I suppose it's not as bad if you wanted to buy something from there anyway or are going past it again within the next week or two to get a refund. But definitely not a job I'd go out of my way to do.

    It just occurred to me that the fee's gone down a couple of quid as well :( Better than RA (plus it's nice to see a client realise they get what they pay for!), but still not GR's finest moment, which is a shame as they are normally one of the better companies.

    It's likely someone else has a shop booked in there the day before or the day after you want them.
