Looks like MFers are trying to poach ABA-i's petrol client with a fee that's less than the cheap supermarket!

Have either of you contacted Shannon?
She has been pretty good when ever I've needed something.

Shannon is great; when she was away over Christmas, I lost few shops because some incompetent allocators told me that I could not do them as 'I had visited them before' (which I never did :mad:). They were good visits with bonus but by the time they had realised that I have never visited those shops before, they were gone.

Seriously are there 2 Shannons there ? The one I've spoken to multiple times is definitely a guy.

Confused.com :shocked:

I didn't get any jewellery jobs. They have been snatched so quickly, I wasn't fast enough!

Well, I decided to say good-bye to helion for good. My apps were pending for months and they seem to have only car visits in my area.

Hello

I am after some information if known. I have received a survey invite where I will receive 6 - 10 pieces of mail per week for about 5 weeks and I have to check each against pictures and record details etc.

To record each piece each day would naturally take some time and the reward is stated as a £5 voucher after completing all the weeks surveys for all post. This seems a lot of effort for £5 voucher. I was under the impression that previous individuals completing surveys were given stamps to use as an incentive to fill in a return each day. My question is has that finished now and is the current survey just the £5 at the end of the project?

Many thanks for any information

I agree unless the have a rethink on the fees they are paying. I used to do really well and now I've taken a part time job and I'm very selective of which jobs I agree to do as some of them are not worth the fee paid when u take into consideration the expenses to do the job u end up making a loss!

I agree with you both. I registered self employed in 2010 and carried out quite a few visits and made a small regular income which supplemented our family income. Now I rarely carry out any visits since the fees are so very small after mileage, parking, time for visit and write up, printing etc. I found that I was out of pocket on many visit given that I live in a rural area and some companies did not realise that travel of 30 miles round trip for a visit for a £5 fee was required and couldn't understand me not wanting to do them! I used to love the visits but no point (for me - different for others) any more.
