Qype!!!!!!!!!!!! Huh 14th August 2010 3:16 PM

“In my experience these companies often have so much small print. It depends on how much tiem you have to dedicate to get out of it, how you value your time. If there is an easy way, then do it, as that's what it seems you want to do.

If i can find a way out of it i certainly will, by now the advertising should be doing well, even my own site (which is very new) gets a lot more visits than this one that is supposed to be able to do what i cant, mainly cos i am not a computer whizz kid.

Qype!!!!!!!!!!!! Huh 14th August 2010 3:08 PM

I have to stay with QYPE for the 12 month period in order to see if they can hit the required figures or if not i can have a full refund, however i can pull out after 6 months and lose the money that i have invested even if they cant hit a decent figure in 6 months.
So my dilema is do i pull out knowing that in the time i have been with them we have had 1 follow through to our website (as per QYPES own figures) and lose any maonies paid to them, or do i keep going for the year, moan cos it costs me a lot of money for nothing then pull out and get a full refund.
Of course a part of the problem they have is that we had a special deal in order to entice me in, and that was a double up of the normal figures that they use. ie 500 doubled to 1000 Visits (so far we are no where near on track) and of course we are in a niche market, which means that they will be struggling anyway.
I am wondering how we can get our money back and break the contract at the same time, as there is clearly no way that the figures are going to be met. However we are near to the top of Google with the QYPE advert, but we were there anyway.

Suggestions on a postcard LOL

Hi Tomsk
I have been running around like a headless chuck this week, i have changed all of the signatures as we discussed, some of the forums etc it would work on some would not but that is the forums not the changes we made.
one of the links even on here does not work as we wanted but i am grateful for the bits that do.
Thanks again

Steve

Thanks for helping me with what i did not think was a problem, but with your guidance i can now see why what i thought was happening wasn`t. This conversation makes sense to us, if not to anyone else.
I hope it all works now that you have pointed things out to me and explained it in great detail.
I have a basic understanding now and have altered all of the sites accordingly.

Thanks again for you unexpected help.

Regards

steve

Couriers what a waste of time 3rd August 2010 5:30 PM

my machine arrived at last but not till we had phoned the firm yet again cos the van went straight by, the company phoned the driver who then returned to deliver it, the original label had no number on it but the courier company had put a sheet of paper with the house number on it.
But now we have it i can now give the option to our customers to pay by card with no extra cost to them.

Yet another day of lost earnings all because the van driver did not bring the item with him. WHAT a load of t.......s couriers should be shot, i thought the post office was bad enough but!!!!!!!!!!

Would not be so bad if that were our case, but the address is correct and the timing was good, just the driver went to the wrong door, and the item was refused.
We have 6 different couriers deliver to us and each one gets it right normally, this one is new to us and cant read obviously, now i have to lose another day out in the field whilst i am waiting.

Thanks for this post:

Thanks from: Steve.Richardson

We're in the process of moving from the old card readers to online terminals. Cuts down the admin, and means we can email the invoice and reciept, instead of printing and sending cc receipts snail mail.

Unless of course you're doing person present transactions!”

Hi Steve
thats what we can do from the office but no good when i am treating wasp nests in peoples houses. All other mail where possible is sent via PDF so that they cant be altered and the customers are invoiced as soon as the work is completed, all payments should be electronic but some are not, As we are not charging the customer for the card transactions we are hopefully going to pull work from our competitors.

I dont think anyone should push for a deal if they cant produce what they say they can, i for one will let the world know when i get a goodun or a badun.
My Local is ok it has been good to me so far, and at the cost i certainly wont complain.
