The new rule will make GA more profitable but what makes you think it willl have any bearing at all on their efficiency or customer service?

I got to a point a while ago where I felt I had no option but to move my links elsewhere and haven't referred to GA since. Still waiting for just over £900 on two accounts, albeit those only verified 10 days ago.

It would be stating the obvious to say I have been very critical of GA for a good few months. I have expressed my concerns in support tickets as well as publicly but no sign of a response since the last ticket was "passed to Tab to deal with".

If Tab is not in a position to do anything, what good is passing him a ticket going to do? No wonder people complain about communication.

And the most frustrating part of all, which I have also made clear in the support tickets, is that I would love to use GA if there were any signs at all of it ever getting back on track.

Is this just a blip? Granted we may get some activity when the next TD payment comes in but what of the long term?

Just that it appears to me that they are snowed under with support tickets for custom orders (amongst others), and with a team member down (Tab appears to have more important things taking his time), they just can't cope and something has to give. By removing this option perhaps they hope to get back on top of things. [Just my opinion]

Of course, if their service doesn't improve then they have shot themselves in the foot as poor service + reduced user benefits = unhappy customers who switch to competitors.

I know that as soon as I can get an iPhone (3 more greens, if none get reversed) I'll be switching my links to FJ as I just completed my own offer so I could verify for a bank transfer, then noticed that I can no longer do this so I'll have to get the iPhone and ebay it for the cash.

However, if GA get back to their previous form, I may just switch back. They have always been good to me in the past and the my.giveaway portal and one4all links look very handy.

TD is the advertising company responsible for quite a lot of the offers that you see on freebie networks sites. When someone does an offer "TD" pays the freebie network. These payments happen monthly and the next one is due about the 17th so payment will reach the freebie networks soon after.

If (and I'm not suggesting there is) a money problem, this might be when some people get paid.

I'm needing reassurance again...

We had a burst of activity, and now nothing again. This "backlog" must only be getting bigger.

I'm expecting around a 40 referral payout soonish from Giveaway so am starting to sweat...

Maybe someone could get in direct contact with Tab and ask if he needs some help with the support tickets and give support while he sorts things out.

Just checked my account on nextgen and my custom order has been 'sent to vendor'!!! Very happy that its finally been sorted, was getting a little annoyed to say the least at the delay.

Has anyone else had their freebies sent yet? Oh and how long does it usually take to come through the post once its been sent to vendor?

Mine is still processing

"I will ask Cherie to respond to your query as a matter of urgency, and to confirm the despatch details for your cheque."

Matter of urgency my a**! Stalling tactics I think.

That was sent on the 13th and not a word from them since.

Thankfully the £141 cheques are still in stock

Seems strange that custom orders are getting sorted before cheques are being sent. Would have thought cheques were much easier! Plus my order was placed on jan 28th where as other people have been waiting alot longer. Not that im complaining though!

Does 'sent to vendor' mean that GA have placed the order with Amazon or does to mean its actually in the post now?

I don't use GA but have been paying attention to what has been happening, its simply shocking IMO.

Surely something like the above could happen? Tab hasn't been online since New Years Day, I know his contract doesn't say 'Be active on eXceem', but he always used to be active.

Tickets have been sent as a 'matter of urgency' to Tab, but as far as I've read no replies have been received, 'Shipping' aren't much help either, I believe.

The fact that a cheque is 'Out of Stock' I think could POSSIBLY I'm not saying it is, but it could possibly be a money problem, because banks are usually pretty quick sending cheque books out, so could out of stock mean 'We're waiting for the TD payment to come into our account'?

Then came along this new custom order rule... What utter b**ls**t. Yeah, they'll make more money, but they will lose a lot customers.

It doesn't take long to come and post an update on exceem -- even an 'everything's under control and we will be back to normal service by x' would help...

Tab if you read this, just post man. It will make us all sigh with relief to know there is actually someone managing this network...
