Immer noch kein DHL-Label per E-Mail?

Es ist echt ärgerlich, dass dieses Problem scheinbar immer noch besteht ..

Ich hatte hierzu bereits einen Post vor ca. 1 Monat gemacht, wo ich den Support kontaktiert hatte und mir mitgeteilt wurde, dass an diesem Problem gearbeitet werde und es bald wieder behoben sein wird. Tja, scheinbar nicht. Am Wochenende habe ich einiges per DHL verkauft und wieder mal keine separate E-Mail mit dem druckbaren Versandschein bekommen :/ Früher ging das, jetzt erhält man nur noch die E-Mail mit dem QR-Code.

Für Leute, die in der Stadt wohnen ist das sicherlich auch kein Problem, aber für mich schon ... für mich ist die Option einfach angenehmer, den Versandschein zuhause auszudrucken, aufzukleben und am nächsten Tag frankiert dem Postboten mitzugeben (habe dafür extra eine Postbox, da nimmt er netterweise immer alles mit was drin ist - natürlich im Austausch gegen Bestechungssüßigkeiten ab und zu ;) ) Na ja, und nun muss ich dafür extra in die Stadt fahren, was mehr Aufwand bedeutet ...

Kann jemand bestätigen, ob er/sie im letzten Monat DHL-Versandscheine per E-Mail erhalten hat? Ich war in der Zwischenzeit inaktiv und habe es daher erst heute wieder bemerkt.

Danke für euer Feedback!

Ja na klar schreib' ich zurück 🧡🧡🧡

... der wurde leider gesperrt, ehe ich zurückschreiben konnte. Menno! 😭

Edit: Ich hab' zwar ein Profilbild drin, aber das ist nicht wirklich aussagekräftig: schwarz-weiß und ich habe die Augen geschlossen. 😂 (und selbst WENN, absolut Fehl am Platz ...). Was denken sich solche Leute dabei?! Denken die echt, das wäre 'ne unverbindliche Swingerplattform? Lol.

Dschungel Divas Schlafsituation (Diskussion)

Ich bin ja immer etwas skeptisch bei dem, was uns Zuschauern so präsentiert wird ... deshalb hab ich mich gefragt: Schlafen sie dort nachts wirklich alleine im Dschungel? 😅

Mein anfänglicher Gedanke war, dass die Divas schön Abends nach Drehschluss zurück in's Hotel gefahren werden, morgens wiederkommen und sich dann halt kurz da reinlegen (öfters sieht man ja von außen, wie jemand drin liegt). Erst in der letzten Folge wurde auch kurz ein Gesicht gefilmt, also wie jemand dort drin liegt.

Zweite Überlegung wäre dann: Wo schläft das ganze Team? Ist ja immerhin ein unüblicher/gefährlicher Ort im kolumbianischen Dschungel, also müsste die Produktion, ggf. medizinisches Personal und die Ranger ja auch unmittelbar dort schlafen.

In der letzten Folge wurde zwar erwähnt, dass sie z.B. nie ohne Ranger in die Hängematten dürften wegen Skorpionen, Spinnen etc. die dort reingekrabbelt sein könnten ... und ja, das macht auch Sinn. Ist aber vielleicht einfach nur eine gute Verschleierungstaktik des Ganzen? 😂

Was denkt ihr? Vielleicht haben wir ja einen anonymen Insider, der uns aufklären möchte? :D

Researcher name changes?

I've recently noticed that some researcher changed their names on Prolific (purposely I guess). Is that allowed? Why do they do this? My assumption is that they are known about platforms like ProlificTea where they can get bad ratings, so they just change their names or set up a new account. But in this case I noticed that it was changed for past submissions, not for new studies ... (you can check in messages if you contacted them once before, that's how I noticed)

Examples: "FD HQ" => is now "Sophia Cataldo" | "Readability Team" => is now "Bharat Singh"

Both do some kind of "repetitive" studies ... that's why people could remember them. They are quite known by their "old" names.

Did anyone else notice this, or just me?

✨ New feature on TEMU to avoid EU import charges ✨

Okay I found sth new:

  1. Select ONLY your most desirable item in your cart.
  2. Select your 2nd favourable item (but add it x10 times or less if total value is below <25 Euro = minimum order amount).
  3. Go to checkout - here a middle page** between cart and checkout page will open up and ask if you wanna add other items without import fee FROM YOUR CART for checkout (screenshot 1) - this is where you can select everything which has the same HS code / tarrif class as item 1 or 2, as long as it's part of your cart.
  4. Add your desired items BUT don't forget to decrease the quantity of item no. 2 to only 1 pc (you don't want to order 10pcs of the same item lol, this is just a workaround to get to that page if u are still below MOV).
  5. In the final step (screenshot 2) you can see that I only pay 5 EUR "Einfuhrabgaben" = import fee, but ofc you could also just select one item and add it 10x times to see if other items will be shown for this section - imo it will show less, maybe just 1-2 articles if your cart is really full. Depends on how much you're willing to pay for customs duty per order.

So in this way, you can organize your cart and select only the "right items" which won't affect additional costs & save some money (good choice if you just wanna buy one or two certain items but could afford some additional stuff at this time).

Just make sure to collect all your fav items directly in your cart, not on your wishlist.

Hope this helps! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

**EDIT: For whatever reason I thought there's this middle page but it's actually the final checkout page! (or maybe it varies, I'm not sure ...). So just make sure to reach 25 EUR minimum order value and you'll see this message on top of the checkout page! Hope it works.

Once approved study can be undone?

Hello, I tried to complete a study today but I had massive technical issues. So I exited / returned the study after a while as I couldn't continue (buttons not working properly, internal server error ...). I then informed the researcher about this and didn't think about it anymore.

But now few hours later I got an email saying it is approved and I earned £8? How is that even possible?

Well I'm happy, won't complain .. just wonder if Prolific can reverse this payment?! (Hope not, but I didn't even finish the whole study though .. 😅)

Never happened so far. Anyone?

At least this works

idk if y'all know this already but ordering "Bundle deals" (only items from 1 category e.g. accessories/necklaces) will reduce your EU import fee to 0 € which is very nice 👍 also free shipping.

when selecting choice items I still have to pay a high unreasonable fee but in this area (it's called "Kombi-Knaller" in Germany) it works perfectly and I can save real money. I also ordered from other categories e.g. nail stickers because you only need to select min. 3x items in order to get that free shipping & no additional charges.

imo totally worth it 👍

Preisverhandlung - fair enough

Manche Menschen möchten halt auch gar nicht verhandeln ... 😅 habe dann auch nicht mehr geantwortet. Bin ja noch entgegengekommen von 9,50€ => auf 8,00 €, ist dann halt schon frech es nochmal zu versuchen für "nur 10 Cent mehr" oder wie seht ihr das? Hättet ihr dann nochmal ein Angebot geschickt für 7 Euro oder so? Ich war da raus.

Man hat ja schon eine ungefähre Preisvorstellung und wenn's dann komplett abweicht, zieht man sich eher zurück anstatt entgegenzukommen ...

Ich reduziere meine Preise auch von Zeit zu Zeit, also ich gehe z.B. von 10 Euro > 9 > 8 etc. runter und habe diese Preissenkungen dann auch im Hinterkopf. Aber irgendwann so bei 5 Euro lösche ich den Artikel einfach & stelle es nochmal neu ein (zu einem höheren Preis), weil ich denke, das lohnt sich ja kaum noch ... 😂 Macht ihr das auch so?

Another new TEMU feature (maybe just temporary)

I assume they are trying a few new features to figure out how to deal with new EU tax costs and how to NOT loose more n more customers ...

Last time I already noticed a new section in cart which shows u similar items without additional tax fee. Now they're giving 30% discount on that fee up to max. 20€ (screenshot). But only valid for 2 days lol.

I think it's nice to see that they think about new strategies or - as usual at TEMU - about temporary discount events. Let's see if they'll implement even more & better ideas how to minimize that fee for us.

Really sucks that they can't make it simply 3€ per order, that seems not possible - probably because EU made this stupid new law, not TEMU.

New feature to avoid EU tax costs

I just discovered this new section in my cart (it suddenly appeared below random item I selected and leads to a page which shows u similar items with same HS tarrif codes in order to avoid high taxes.) Nice one Temu 👍🏼

EDIT: You can see more screenshots in my comment below. The section also pop ups when you're below < 25,00 € min order value (in the middle step right before going to checkout), so it really adds only 1x fee per category if you select items from the shown page.

Chrome extension to filter cart items by categories? (Avoiding EU tax / import fee)

I was about to order some stuff and currently it's quite challenging to select/filter products from only 1 category in order to avoid high import charges. My goal is to place many small orders e.g. only jewelry or only clothing with each 25 euros order value + max. 3 euros additional fee per order, which would still be a nice deal to continue ordering on TEMU.

I collect many things in my cart so I just click one-by-one and check if item x is affecting the total price or not. The system is not clear imo as some earrings do increase the total price and some do not. Maybe it's based on material but you can't see it directly in your cart - just after selecting at check-out page in order summary.

I was wondering, if someone could write a tool like a chrome extension which would filter or highlight immediately all products from the same category? That would be awesome 🙏🏻

(not sure if it's so simple though, still trying to figure out how this category system works ..)

Reservation expired - can researcher re-invite to their study? / participation still possible?

Hello,

has someone ever experienced to get a re-invitation link to a study which just has expired? (I mean when reservation expires after 10 min. and study goes into status "returned" ...)

Sometimes I want to start a study while doing something else in other tabs and then my brain simply forgets about this Prolific tab so reservation expires (I KNOW ITS MY FAULT fk adhd) but I always tried to contact the researcher afterwards and was wondering, if they could re-invite me to their study? Is this even possible? Until now it seems that there is no way but I wanted to know if anyone made another experience about this. Maybe there is a solution but researcher don't know how it works? or does "expired" really mean "gone forever"?

Thank you!

Isn't there usually a wider time frame given?!

I think other researchers are more generous with their max. allowed completion time. I did this study today and yes it was possible to finish it within 15 minutes but there were maaaany multiple-choice questions and pages and so I felt in a rush because I thought omg I only have 15 mins ... seemed a bit tightly timed for us participants. What do you think? not sure if Prolific has a rule about this
