  • Hi all, I would like to start doing online surveys, could anyone point me in the direction of a list of reputable sites please? I'm only interested in the ones that pay real money and not competition/prize based ones. Many thanks.

    I have got a pizza mystery shop to do this evening but this shop is a delivery one.

    I live 3 miles away from the shop and so I assumed that I would be included in the delivery area. I have just noticed that the assignment details doesn't exactly include my area ( its LS6 1 and the notes say LS6 4).

    I have emailed to ask if this is still ok however that was 2 days ago and I haven't received any reply.

    What should I do as this shop is tonight (soon!) ?

    If it's not in the delivery area then don't do it. Have you got a friend in the right postcode where you could go to get the delivery?

    Hiya- I have signed up with TNS and have spent almost an hour going through this (v helpful!!) thread but not found them mentioned much (though I only got to page 7 before giving up!).

    Any one have any experience with them?
    Are they ok?
    If they sort out tax does that mean i need to pay NI and do a self assessment?

    Many thanks for your help :)

    Is it with Gap?

    If so, I had a similar situation a few weeks ago. I emailed them but, of course, didn't receive a reply in time so cancelled it

    BUT ... when they eventually replied, they said that as long as that branch deliver to my address, it is fine to do the assigment.

    So do it, and enjoy your supper!!!! :rotfl:

    Can anyone please advise on this.

    today I have done an assignment for one of the mystery shopping companies in the Post Office.

    I know in the paperwork, they tell you to get the name + description of the staff who served you on the counter.

    But because my luck wasn't good today, the staff who served me wasn't wearing a badge and her name was not on the counter or window. I have seen other staff next to her with name badges. However, she didn't have one herself.

    So i'm wondering will the Mystery Company pay me if only i provide description of the person without her name. :(
  • It depends on what company it was for. As some of the companies ask for a name or description of the person, and some companies ask for both. On the other hand if that person did not have a name badge on and their was no name on the reciept than their is nothing that you can do. I think that they will pay you for this as you have proof that you have been there.

    I hope I get paid.

    In the paperwork they ask for Both. and I put in the comments section that this person wasn't wearing a name badge and her name wasn't on the counter or window. It also wasn't on the receipt.

    I mean if i asked the person on the counter: Whats your name, ofcourse they would know i'm a mystery shopper so didn't think it was good to ask.
