I know, it's just strange that they don't get the dates right to begin with. I was phoned this afternoon and rescheduled to next week. When I explained what happened he said "Oh well no, of course you can't do it on a Saturday". Odd since the other pharmacy I did was just 150 yards away and was open on Saturday! Grrrrrr RE are starting to irritate me!
.

The answer to "Oh well no, of course you can't do it on a Saturday" is "Why is Saturday showing on your list of available dates to be selected from, then?"

Some of these companies could not organise their way out of a paper bag, could they? :mad:

No, you don't need it. It's rather aimed at the American market.

I've signed up for RE but they all seed to be the same jobs (either a salad, and drink or a couple of drinks), i was wondering if they only use one company?
thanks

They have others too. Be aware too that you can initially only accept one job and not take another one until the first one has been proofread. Once the first job has been approved you can select more than one at a time - depending on the client.

I am getting cheesed off at RE. I chose a chemist one and the date is today. This chemist doesn't open on Sundays. And having to buy a product for hay fever. I don't have hayfever so that's something else that will end up in the bin. So I am going to buy it when I get another day, photograph the receipt then take it back and exchange it for something useful. When it was the cold remedy thing I ended up with a houseful of cold remedies.I phoned them about it and they said just purchase any product as long as I have the receipt.

PS Can anyone give me a link to joining Bare. Is that the one which asks you to cut and paste a bit you did commenting on a restaurant etc to see your writing standard.

That's interesting, I was told in no uncertain terms that I must buy what they recommend!

Holly, the link for Bare (BAI) is in the first post of this thread. Sorry, I can't remember what they asked for when I signed up.

Johnny that was during the last wave in spring when it was a cold remedy you had to ask about so I asked if you were recommended say Day Nurse and you had some at home could you say that. They said that was OK and just to purchase something to prove your were there ( that;s as well as a photograph)

Thanks for the link.:beer:
