I see that the Father J's pizzas have gone to an alternative company and are now with the 'Naked' shopping company whom, I actually quite liked however, although the pizza scenario looks to be the same, guess how much the new company are paying? - - - - - - -
nothing, nada, zilch!!

One can only hope that the pizzas, unlike most of that company's scenarios, are better than half-baked.

Does anyone know when AQ pays for the fashion shops? I completed a shop on 22nd July, and I'm still waiting for payment. I was initally told in an email it would be 2 months after the shop. I sent another email yesterday and they have yet to reply.

you can name shopping companies but not clients

so I would probably edit the client as thats fairly obvious

to just the client of Frontline Focus has moved to bare....

the scenario does sound the same
shame there is no fee but if it means the decline of FF, Im afraid im in favour of it
no doubt there will be bonuses for hard to cover jobs at some point

If it is the same scenario the pizzas are inedible by the time you've finished messing with them. Bare offering these jobs with no fee is just insulting and pretty strange as they usually offer decent fees.

AQ seem to pay as and when they can be bothered to process payments. In my experience up to three months after you submit the assignment.

Just a word of advice for anyone who has done the packaged bank account mystery shops with TNS for the part publicly owned "horse" bank (and its sister company who used to be fronted by Howard)
In all the emails about the job we were all reassured there was only a soft credit check which would only be visible to ourselves, but these are most definitely full credit checks. If worried, check your files!

They replied back, apologising that it would now be 10 weeks after the shop.

Check again in 30 days and it should be gone, "soft" checks still leave a trace but should disappear quite quickly, if not get on to the bank.

Does anyone MS for Grassroots?

If so have you noticed that they seem to be really slow at paying?

Did a couple of visits for them back at the beginning of July and previously would have expected to get paid on the 15th but didn't get paid until the end of the month and the same seems to be happening this month as well
