Hi, at the beginning of last month I did 5 visits in one week for GrassRoots but have only been paid for one of them.

Before I call to chase them up, it is usual for payments to come in dribs and drabs?

Yes, it is quite common to get payment in bits and pieces, happens quite a lot to me with grassroots, however saying that, I have never chased them up about it yet I have always eventually been paid for any everything that's been done. Don't worry and just be patient!

(ps they do OVERpay from time to time too!)

Does anyone out there have TNSs address? Stupid so and sos dont put it on their website and I need to send them a receipt!:(

I got sick of writing out the TNS freepost address by hand so I printed off a whole load of address labels onto sticky sheets. (All I need to do is write in the job reference number on the third line)

If anybody wants me to send them some Tns address labels, please pm me with your postal address - it would be no problem to pop you some in the post.

How did you get it, Rachie? Did you email and ask them?

The reason I'm asking is there's a TNS job I've got my eye on, but it's just under 4 months since I last did it and it's not allowing me to select it (it has a 4-month restriction). I'm pretty sure they'd give it to me if I asked, but am not sure whether to wait a bit longer until they get really desperate

I've done my first mystery shop! My first job was supposed to be in two weeks time but I got a phone call offering me an assignment to be done asap so of course i accepted it! I was worried that I would forget things when I came to do the report but it was better than I thought. Can't wait for the next one! :j

I had seen it on the allocation site, but didn't apply as it stated I couldn't

then i had an email regarding urgent assignments earlier, today and it was on there ! so i emailed saying i could do it,but that i did it last time etc ........

and I was accepted !

thats 4 supermarket ones to do now lol

I do love the supermarket ones

Oh dear, got my first MS job....read the brief, read the questionaire....seemed pretty straightforward, in fact it was basically what I did when I was a shop manager (now retired) visiting other shops in the chain....did the visit ,came home, watched the rugby, had a coffee and went to fill in my report online......oooops....forgot to tell me what the unique ID number was....no answer on the phone to the MS company either....means I have to wait 'til tomorrow now to log my visit....bummer....

Is this a Grassroots assignment ?

If so your unique ID number is on your brief
