I have not seen many briefs where you can't take stuff back. I have only seen it on the high end fashion stores. There are some shops where I struggle to find anything I like to purchase and so glad that I have that option and take it back a week later.

There are plenty of MS scenario's where they don't want you to take it back. Or they are paying you an extra £20 (as an example) to go and buy an item. A word of advice is that I would always read the scenario meticulously to see where you stand.

I fear i'm going to ask a really stupid question but i'm just going to ask it anyway I'm doing a shoe shop job tomorrow, it's quite a high reimbursement and I can return them. So say I bought these shoes, returned them and got my money back from the shop. Does the MS company still pay the reimbursement cost as well? Or not, because I'm not actually out of pocket? Thanks x

Oh i'm a bit confused now actually, just reading the guidelines, it says you can return the shoes or keep them but you won't be reimbursed but when I booked the job, it said £xx reimbursement amount. And further down the guidelines it says to make sure you keep the receipt so they can reimburse you for the shoes!! Confused! This is a job with React.

I think the reimbursement is for postage if you send them the shoes. My recollection is that if you keep the shoes, there's no reimbursement. If you return the shoes to the store there's nothing to reimburse, and if you send the shoes back to React, they reimburse you the full cost of the shoes plus postage.

GR are a fff company and its not directly going to help you taking stuff you wouldnt really want to do in normal circs.

The only companies it may help you with are those with human allocators. React for example.

Hope this helps you cos there are loads of crap jobs out there you neednt do.

Not totally true. They have audit work that they select certain people for.

Anyone having trouble inputting results on msl? I have been trying all weekend, just crashes on the page, I also noticed a lot of jobs due Friday not done on the homepage, so I'm assuming they are the same as me not able to submit.

Just submitting some audit work! I need a break only 2 more to go.

Tidy ! How do you get into that ?

You could ring them up and ask if they have other types of work available. You might be new to MS and related areas but have skills acquired elsewhere that make you highly suited to audit work etc.

If this is the sports shoes job with React, I made the purchase, then sent them back to React. React reimbursed the cost of the shoes, the post and packaging and the fee. As I recall took about 3 weeks to pay.
