Thanks CP. I fully intend to do that. I tried calling today after I picked it up, but they had closed and I thought I would ask on here in case anyone had encountered this issue before.

Ah, I thought you were taking the p**s...
Mine are always listed on the brief or the click for more details page.

Did 2 visits for RE/MF today and came home with 2 free gym tops and some very cheap running shoes thanks to the reimbursements and the ongoing Black Friday promotions. Woohoo! There are some visits they do which I would NEVER pick up, but some are actually quite worth it if you work it just right.

Yup, there is a few visits like that I did a boots place a while back, saved £75 on a pair I was more than likely going to buy anyway.

Evening all. Hope everyone is OK.

I've just picked up a shopping delivery visit on GR. How can I demand which store the delivery comes from? Will they let me pick? Won't it just come from the store that is closest to me? Can someone please advise. I'm totes confused.

This happened to me when I clicked to accept a job thinking it was a click and collect.
You can't choose where the delivery comes from, it comes from your nearest store, so if this isn't your closest, you'll have to release it otherwise the wrong location will be shopped.
You can only change location for a click and collect jobbie.

Always worth checking out the sale racks:)
Looking at the lovely warm sweatshirt I'll be wearing for tomorrow's jobs:)

Oh right I see. I have 2 other stores closer to me, 1 is tiny, 1 is medium sized. I am not sure either of those do deliveries as such. I know one of them does order and pick up and I have one of those visits.

Would be a shame if they don't let me do the delivery one though but it's not the end of the world. Will check with them tomorrow.

Thanks for the responses folks. :beer::beer:

MF have changed the brief for the outdoor clothing jobs, you still have to buy an item but the minimum spend is much lower so although still out of pocket IF you were interested in buying the item anyway it may be worthwhile.

It's still showing as the same spend for all 3 jobs on my board.
No chance of them shifting.

Mine is going surprisingly well this week. I have one job that requires me to make a purchase though and not get paid anything towards it. Everytime I buy something it is for a Christmas present so this theme will continue.

I know you can return the item at a later date but what a hassle. It would be good if you did get a token amount.

Also taking photos is tricky sometimes and trying to be discreet.:)

Be careful about returning items. Many briefs state that you can't.

Big_Graeme

And never make a purchase unless you get paid for it or there is a return scenario in the brief.

I've been doing some covert audits, you could walk around with the biggest camera in the world and most of the staff wouldn't notice a thing...
