My first one is offering £15 towards the purchase. I can't find anything on the site for less than £30!

If you can afford to just do the purchase and return for the item, and you'll be paid £15.


If it's a nearby store I would return it myself. Also check have a look out for store codes, if anyone spots any good ones offering free delivery, or whatever maybe they can post the links here.

[member=1745]GloriaJones[/member]. That is a good idea. So you can purchase just for completing the survey then return it for a refund so does not matter whether you keep it or not?

No, you don't have to keep the item. If you want to, just do a purchase, no return. But I return everything ;D (did you go through the Pendings page and accept the purchase/returns?)

If you have opted, and been allocated a refund, then you'll have to do some sort of refund (check that section in the survey as it should ask how you returned, to store or post). By the way you can just do the survey with no purchase too.


What I tend to do is,



Look to recoup as much as I can from the whole thing,
-buying the cheapest item, a flannel or bar of soap or something
- seeing if I can get free delivery, you might have to spend £25/£40 to qualify ( if you do a supermarket, have them deliver with your shop, then change your mind at the door-delivery and return done in one).
- return to store myself.
-free delivery codes
-Avoiding like the plague some of the stores because no matter what you do you'll lose out (that flower store seems to be missing from this round)

Thanks for the tips.

So if I buy something cheap from a DIY store, wait to get it delivered then I can take it back to the store for a refund of the cost AND the delivery?

If I can, that's what I do.

I just checked the Returns section of one of my surveys, and it asks how I did the return, it does includes back to store as an option.

So yes, if the store is nearby just take it back, and complete the rest of the section. It's not just about how it get back to store, but how long you have to wait for refund.

So yes, in that case you get paid for purchase and return. ;D

Some places do not refund delivery charges, might be worth checking first

Hi All,

Its been a while since I was last here

Enjoying a life away from online money making although still super busy and spending lots which I can't really afford.

The only online work I've stuck with is EDig. I love that site. I've been allocated lots of purchases/deliveries this time around and one return. Obviously I'm finding the cheapest product on the website to buy (just bought a pack of 'Man Flu Tissues' for £1 - lol!). For two items so far I've opted for delivery to store so that I can collect them. Seems that this is an acceptable option as per the delivery section on the edig survey. Reason being that the delivery charges have been quite high at approx £4 which makes the point of making a purchase quite pointless.

Does anyone else get delivery to store? If so do you just give the product the once over and return it there and then to get the refund? I got something yesterday which I definetly won't use but unsure how to approach it when I go to collect.

The home deliveries aren't so bad because I can return them for free via the Collect+ service.

Anyone in the same situation with collecting from store? If so what do you do?

Thanks
Jenna

Think I must have just hit a new low for Edig purchases...a One Direction sticker book for 12p

I'm still getting messages about more travel surveys.

I need to crack on with the retail ones today though.

 

[spike241]

Not even the end of the month and I have £50 to invoice

They hate me though, they've just allocated me another 9 travel surveys!

 

[spike241]

Did anyone else just get a huge batch of retail surveys?
I got 7, unfortunately 6 are purchase only. Shame because they'll be going back anyway.

I got one purchase and one mobile one.
Maybe they are starting to dish more out again. Mobile one I have done and the purchase one will be doing tomorrow morning.
Least the purchase one is free delivery and it is £15 to purchase £10 for cheapest item so that works out alright. [emoji4]

 

[spike241]

I've just seen that they've also allocated me another 4 'last minute' travel surveys to do by Friday.
That's at least the 2nd or 3rd lot of 'last minutes' I've had for that batch!

 

[RickyRaj]

Anyone doing the recent purchase/refund jobs?

I have about 3 of these to do. Should get cracking before I go away in a couple of weeks.So far £50 racked up for the travel sites and apps

I did another batch of last minutes for Monday this week and now onto the retail ones, completed a few with about a dozen to go but these have the later due dates and purchases. Going to start them tomorrow. I have had about the same amount [member=1122]RickyRaj[/member], quite happy with Edigital as nice to have regular work.

 

[Twiggy]

[gavvy]

I'm happy with them too. I'll try and do the others this week and then hopefully they'll get approved and I can invoice them for a larger amount.
