Just got an email saying if you are returning SMARTS to only use the grey metallic envelopes not the brown smart return envelopes.

I've never had brown Smart envelopes only the grey metalic ones.

Hello! Can someone help me: I've received two 'catalogues' (same company)which may or may not have been from research international. How do I tell? There's no smart or R number anywhere so I'm sitting here wondering if it's random adverts to me or something I need to log onto the site. Thank you for the help!

ohhhh it's so sad , why do they get you started then stop waste of time ??

I know, it's really annoying. I was looking forward to getting loads of free stamps as well. I posted my first item and the next day they didn't need me anymore. There are tons of postboxes in my area as well :-(

Taken from Training pages:

You will be in the training period for approximately 3-4 weeks to gradually introduce you to our survey processes.

These survey guidelines accompany the first pack you receive from us. Along with these guidelines you will find the items of stationery you require to carry out the first week of tasks on the survey and 12 1st class stamps and 4 “Large Letter” stamps for your own use. From now on you will receive a pack like this every week. Please note you will only receive one set of incentive stamps during your training period, once you fully join the survey you will receive stamps on a monthly basis.


It really is worth going through the training pages and checking the FAQ - that's what training is all about. It's an important survey and we all want to get it right. Pretty much everything everyone asks on here is answered in one of those places - including some of the things I've asked on here. I'm trying to take my own advice!
Sorry, hope you don't think that's a putdown but people keep asking on here about stuff they should read on the RI site.

no it's alright uve put me on the right track, i'll read throught the FAQ, sorry if you thought it was a silly question by the way

thanks.

No not at all silly. I just think we all need reminding that both the training pages and the faq are there to help us get it right and most things are covered, even though it is sometimes easier to ask on here. We're all supposed to work our way through the training stuff, online and the printed they send out, as part of the training period. Also the people at the end of the phone helpline are really helpful too if you get stuck again.

I sometimes wonder if the real reason that people are asked not to continue is because they don't follow the instructions, and not because there are too many people in an area. - I've made a few mistakes too. (Those that I know of anyway!) 100 lines, I need to be take my own advice, I need to take my own advice, I need.........

I think you are more than likely right with this!
