Am I the only one getting more than one text for the same job? I know texts are only 6p each but it's annoying when I've already deleted one text for the usual up north 30 mile job only to get it sent again! Sort it out please, Admin!


I should add that I'm not in the best of moods after the reaction I got on the phone this morning when calling the office where the girl I was delivering an ebay wardrobe too works. The feller on the phone was lucky I didn't go in there and sort him out!

You are not, the vendor listed 2 identical jobs.

> Sort it out please, Admin!
Please have a word with the vendor.

Surely that's your job isn't it? I've spoken to vendors about jobs still shown as active when they've already been covered and see they're still there. I thought we just pointed these things out.

LK's Scarborough to Portsmouth being a case in point.

Lets keep this thread on topic (more than one text for the same job) and not confuse what we're talking about by mentioning old jobs.

You have not received more than one text for one job.

Perhaps you're talking about the job that Atlas booked from SK14 to CM3...

And then a few minutes later booked a very similar (possibly the same) job...

They are 2 different jobs on the system. Please tell me how you think it's my job to stop vendors listing 2 jobs from the same place to the same place? Maybe they need 2 vans?

Apologies for that, Admin. If I hadn't deleted the first text I would have realized, so it was my error. Best to delete the thread I suppose?

No worries, I will tidy the thread up later for you as it was a valid question so it might explain another similar scenario to someone else wondering if they got a duplicate alert.

Feel free to start another thread on old jobs showing / should system close them / should vendors close them. If you do, please title the thread specifically what it is about i.e. 'Should old jobs be shown?', I'll rename this one to something more appropriate.
