Hi folks,

Just singed up and received my first training pack - but I have a quick question about postboxes. When it says "Please ensure the posting points are within your home postcode area" , what does this mean?
If my postcode was, say, AB12 3CD would this mean within the AB area or AB12?
Sorry for the stupid question but I couldn;t find the answer in the online help files!

many thanks,
CtC.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I came across this post on Friday and clicked on the link on the first page and filled in a questionaire which led to me being 'accepted' to take part and the message said I would receive an e-mail shortly!! So far I havent received an e-mail. I just wondered if there might be a delay beause of the bad weather (or weekend) or whether it takes a few days normally to receive an e-mail from them and if so how long does it take? I keep thinking that they are going to send an e-mail telling me that they are now full which I would be disappointed because this survey would be ideal for me because I have a post box just opposite my house and a Post Office 5 minutes walk away.
Many thanks....

Exactly the same here hun, signed up on Fri and haven't heard anything yet. I thought it would be an automated email to say something like 'you have been successful, welcome to the panel' so was getting a bit worried - but maybe it's an actual person who sends it out, which might explain why no email yet.

Fingers crossed, hope we get one soon! x

You can select up to ten postboxes which once select cannot be changed and they must be within your area ie AB (Like explained above) but they can be near your house, near your work etc Mine have about a 40 miles distance between a few of them.
