A question about : Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Hello,

It is that time again for a new thread as the old one is about to approach its 150th page.

Thanks to sarah1972 for posting the last thread

Please note in post number two there is now a list of FAQ that had been asked a lot through the old thread. I thought this would be useful too add because of the same question coming up page after page.

• Some Frequently Asked Questions from previous threads.
  Q) I have just received a test letter and it is asking me to post it back with all my other items. I don't know how to do this as I have not been told how to.
  A) Items do not been to be posted back anymore and the sender is just using up old stationery.
  Q) On my posting schedule I have a letter to post after 1PM on a Saturday. However, all my post boxes are emptied before this time. What should I do?
  A) If you don't have a collection at your post boxes after 1PM just post the item earlier in the day. Just make sure you record the time you posted it.

• A few weeks ago I had an email saying that I should soon be receiving a mailing from *a well known company*. The following day I received this mailing but it didn't show up on my account, then the following week I received an identical one. I phoned them and they said to wait and it will soon show up online. Today I have just had my third one delivered! Still not showing online and the first delivery was over 3 weeks ago, and supposedly only one was to be posted! Think I'm going to email them this time and ask again - it took forever to get through when I phoned them. Anyone else getting this?
• Two of the packets I was meant to post in 2 weeks are missing from the package which arrived today. I'm tempted to reuse the Ј3 unfranked stamps...
• W/C 26th August has just arrived. It also contains the September stamps. Has anyone else noticed a large rise in packets you are posting. It is rare I now send a small white, medium brown or a large brown letter. The pack above just contains 3 packets.
• Hi
  I've got 4 to post next week including 2 packets and only two the following week (1 packet).
  Today, I received 5 items to log plus next weeks Posting Plan.The number of packets I receive varies. Never had 3 to post within the same week.
• Have received today my Unaddressed Mail Guidelines pack, containing sticky labels and return (plastic) envelopes for the next 3 weeks. Never received these before...it was usually just a case of entering the number of items received on-line.
• I received my pack today with my 2 sets of stamps. For my posting items I only have 2 on my list for the Bank Holiday week so I will not be very busy.
• I've got 4 packets to post this week At least they fit through the post box slot
• Yes I've been posting and receiving a lot more packets this year than I did on my last 6 month stint. I've also sent and received more small boxes, don't mind receiving them as we have a nominated safe place but I don't live that near a post office so sending them is a bit of a pain. Its been pretty quiet for me the last few weeks, 2-4 items a week only to post and very few received - presumably because of summer holidays. Glad I'm not likely to be on the panel come December
• I received a Ј5 L2S voucher this morning from TNS, looks like they're on their way.
• My 6 months posting session started whilst I was on holiday (I did tell them !) but I returned to 2 lots of posting schedules. I posted them at the same time they should have been posted but in the week I returned. Since then I have received nothing....I have emailed them but have had no reply. Anyone any idea what might have happened ? Do you think I have been taken off posting anything else ?
