Fellow MS'ers, what do you think of this?


I plan on sending the letter (part of the address is GFK MYSTERY SHOPPING) at the stamp shop, do you think the assistant will catch on? :rotfl:

Why don't you just put GFK MS on the address I assume there is a road name and a post code so writing it out in full is not necessary.

I have a train station booked with GFK for which I have to send the tickets back for reimbursement. Now I know it's a freepost address but I always like to sent it recorded (70p) for evidence if anything was to go astray. After that I have a stamp shop booked with GAP for which I have to send a letter and get proof of posting...

You should be ok, as long as you're not doing the stamp shop job where it asks you to send something signed for, otherwise they tell you the address to send the envelope to.

Im a bit worried - i have been questioned about one of my buger jobs - anyone any ideas why this would have happened?

Can anyone tell me what the format is for Optimum Contact to offer jobs? I registered with them about a couple of months ago, but have only had one email offering me a job. Then they email me and say I haven't logged in for a while and can I do so, to confirm I'm still interested in working for them

Should I be checking regularly as with Gap, Gfk etc., or do they usually email? I see flights on there that can be selected but nothing else?

TIA

Royal Mail test posting - you get 18 first class stamps a month if accepted (LOL the pay is even worse than Gap!!)

But might be useful for someone:

Actually tho, 18 first class stamps are £6.48, so not bad and tax free, as you're not earning money.

They dont have shop visits like most other mystery shop companies. The're main type of mystery shopping is making telephone calls to customers. Go to their website and select start new survey which will show you the companies available for telephone surveys.

Well I had a very good experience with RE today.

I had a chemist shop booked for Friday but I had to stay late at wotk so I changed it to Saturday but then when I got there Saturfay it was closed (as mentioned earlier).

So Saturday night I emailed them and said I was sorry I'd missed it but it had let me select that day, however I would do it for them Tuesday if needed.

So I was a bit busy over the weekend with some family stuff and was off work Monday and Tuesday and my internet has been off until this even at home so didn't check my email until this morning.

So when I checked it I had a reply from RE from Monday saying yeah please do the shop oin Tuesday instead. Oops! Missed it!!

So I emailed again and explained I hadn't seen the email and had had a lot on but I could, I promised, do it today instead.

I was half expecting to be removed from their list for being such a pain but low and behold they said, "ok no problem do it today!"

So I am feeling quite good about it all. Well, I was until the guy told me to go to the supermarket instead cos it's cheaper!!! Just waiting to get that queried now!! :rolleyes:

Not sure which site you are looking. They have two sites which is abit strange. Go to https://www.oc-pulse.com/pulseAssessor/content/default.asp and enter your username and password. If you have not been given a password just click on "click here for password reminder". Once you have logged in, on the left hand side it should say "bulk surverys" once you have clicked on there it will shows some information in pdf format for each company. It has information about the company and has sample surverys. Once these are read you can go to start new survery. This will show you the amount of customers available and how much you receive for each one you complete.

At the moment there none available which is unusual as there are some most of the time.

Please be prepared that most of the time people are out and not available so you might call 5-10 numbers and might catch one person. You only get paid for a completed survey.

Any questions you can pm me
