I signed up to the RM Surveys and i would like to say it has been the most complicated thing i have ever signed up for. Firstly i had to scour my whole local area and had to get all the codes and then i had to post the stuff they sent to me at the most unsociable times and if you are a student and needing free stamps please dont waste your time like i had.

I can't see where the difficulty is, if you read through the training it is as clear as day, as for unsocialable times what are they? I woudn't call 10am-1pm, after 1pm but before last collection unsocialable, and finally it is not a waste of time, if that is your view, don't do it there are people who want to do it but can't because they are on a reserve list. I know this may sound harsh but I thought I would give my opinion.:D

I agree with Weegie this is so easy to do the biggest problem is some don't want to read the instructions. I think this is a great thing to be doing and would recommend others to it.

Sorry it hasn't worked out for you, but obviously it isn't going to be for everyone.

When I joined I had the impression it would be aimed at people that were able to be around in the day, retired, stay at home mums (like me), people who couldn't work for other reasons or people who could fit it round their working day.

As someone else has said I see it as a good excuse to get out of the house and walk somewhere, although to be honest most of it fits round school runs anyway!

You can't really expect to just get free stamps for barely doing anything, nothing is that easy!!!!

I thought it looked complicated when I first joined and now it's like 2nd nature to me, we also havn't had to buy any stamps since August last year, for all my walking about which has been very moneysaving for me as I have a lot of b'day cards to send and of course not going and buying hundreds of stamps at christmas was great!

I'm really happy with the panel! :T

Well said! I think that's the biggest problem - people can't be bothered to spend a bit of time going through the training and the faq. It all works out fine if you do that. Not going through the very helpful info is the main reason that so many people ask things on here. I think also that people start worrying about SMARTS and misdelivery surveys when they're just in the first week of training and start panicking but the info that's sent out and the website is all pretty clear and comes at the right stage for each bit of the work that you do.

The other problem is when people think that they're going to get something for no effort on their part. It doesn't work like that!

The first post has all the details

Alright, I've got my first busy week coming up: one package a day every day. Some of them are "between 10 and 1", which as clarified above can be posted later.

How about "before 10"? I pass through the area at 5:30am on the way to work, so could I post then and have it go through properly?

People have posted that early but you may get a couple of phone calls to confirm the time etc
