    All the project details were provider to the writer/service provider and the writer informed me that she would begin 3 days later. I waited for 3 days and then for 2 more days and when I did not get a response, I contacted her. She sent a short reply saying that she won't be able to do the work. This left me with 5 wasted days (which includes 2 days for opening the project and reviewing bids - sheer waste of time and energy ) and NO results. NOT RECOMMENDED.

    melcurick's reply:

    I asked to cancel project when another of my assignments went full time, which unfortunately coincided with the start date of this project. Rather than be overwhelmed and submit lackluster work to either party, I opted to cancel one instead. Project requires a lot of research, which I cannot submit to at this time.

    Project Description: I need a writer who can do this on a daily basis: - Go over to the real estate site of the client. - See the questions which are asked in the Q&A section - Answer the unanswered questions with sufficient research...
