re. children on visits.

Just to warn you i once casually mnetioned something about taking my son with me (toddler) to Retail Maxim and the woman was quite rude with me and said "you should know you are not allowed to take children with you". TBH I have since still taken him with me in pushcair to do the quick shop once where you do a breif audit, ask a question and buy something but wouldnt take him to shop where I am making a more intensive enquiry.
As far as I am aware the other companies I work for specifiy on individual briefs if no children are allowed.

Hello, I said I was offered my assignment a couple of days ago, I completed them yesterday afternoon, hence the reason I said I was concerned about payment as I understand I have 24 hours to put the results in. Thanks.

Hi, I have just tried the grg page and it is working now. Have you got the right address, the one I have is : http://results.grgresearch.com/panelmenu.asp
The phone no I have is 0800 515832
Or you could email: mshelp@grg.com
Good luck
Rachel

Hello everyone,

I've been a bit of a lurker on this forum for a while now and picked up lots of hints to join mystery shopping sites (thanks all!) I was offered my first assignment a couple of days ago for GRG Research to visit various ****** banks. I completed the jobs and have come to key in the results today only to find that the results page is not available anymore (I had briefly checked yesterday and it was working) but also the helpline number given is disconnected!

Does anybody have any experience with this company and are they usually reliable? I'm concerned about payment as it does say to put results in within 24hours which I now can't do!

Hope somebody can shed a bit of light on what I should do next,

Many thanks.

Please urgently remove the name of the bank that you visited from your original post !!

I have been shopping for other MS companies for a couple months now, but only this week decided to register with RM, and I noticed that it said on soemthing that I read (prob terms and conditions) that you were to conduct the shop alone.

I have two primary school children and if I am conducting the shop after school hours, they come with me. In fact I often use them to choose the product. Guess that means I will just have to be extra selective with any RM assignments. Do they have much work around ?

oops I have conducted a RM assignment with a baby in tow before !
It didnt specify on the brief !

Oops sorry, didn't realise how silly it was to put the name of the place I visited...not much of a mystery then huh! (I have now deleted it).

Anyway thank you very much rachelja I've tried the address you have given me and it has worked straight away and my half saved report was still there! Guess I had better get on with it as the 24 hour deadline has now passed! The address I had was much the same but stopped after the .com, for some reason it was fine to use yesterday but still not today, the phone number is the same as I have but is still saying not recognised.

Thanks again.

Littleazb - I wouldn't actually worry TOO much about the 24 hour deadline, over the weekend. I have quite often missed the (totally unrealistic) 8 hour deadlines of another company in the past, but find that as long as I key in the results the same evening no-one has worried about it

(I wouldn't RELY on them not sticking to the time limits, but I'd be really surprised if they were too fussy, especially over weekend times. Has anyone had any experience of falling foul of this one?)

Can I just say that I could spot a mystery shopper a mile away!

except the ones that came in with kids/husbands ect!

only time i offered the ad-ons was when I spotted a potential MS.

I can say with pride that every MS report I was named on, I got 100%!

pity I dont work anymore...
