I wrote it in pencil. Never seemed to be a problem even though it must have been obvious as I write my others in pen. In general if it does not state that I cannot return then I do but not always as quite often the purchases I make are things that I want depending upon the store.

Agree if not implicit in the brief then I return the goods. RA drive me nuts on all this business of voiding the receipt. You can do similar to theirs as well as what do you do with these odd tiles? Why they are so pedantic on this is beyond me as their jobs pay so little. Could understand if they were offering high end gigs...
I have to be tripping over the doorstep to do one of their jobs now..

Hi guys

I'm kind of new to all this only done a couple of jobs all ID test buys/ bets.

Has anyone done any optical jobs i've seen a load come up and they seam to pay ok but how are they to do? Are they a lot of work and not worth my time or are they just easy money?

RA are starting to irritate me too with all their phone calls, multiple times per day to all phones I own! On the odd occasion I'm able to answer, they irritate me further by greeting me with "Just the person I'm looking for" or something equally sucking up. Then I have to listen to a good 5 minutes of them trying to string about 1/2 dozen jobs together in my area and trying to offer me the standard fee. I then tell them where to go!

MF - not worth it
Tern - worth it

Personally I will not do the MF optical jobs for the fee they advertise. If you do the full monty, ie eye test and select glasses you will be there for an hour and then you need to write up the report which will be at least and half hour. I have done Tern and they do pay more and from a time perspective its a lot less. Their reports are quite exacting in terms of listening skills and observations. One of the better MS companies as they do provide feedback so you can improve and within a few days you get paid.

Hi Folks...


Been looking on the forums for ideas for a good place to start. Would that be Shopper Anonymous? Or something like them? I'm in London looking for work (self employed or whatever) daytime, termtime.


Thanks in advance!

If they are on the job board for longer than a day then they are hard work, not that any of our jobs are easy money...
