Royal Mail Surveys

  • I hope people's shocks after being kicked off the survey have healed slightly.

    But have people received the last stamps we were promised (along with a formal letter of being told we're off the survey) as stated in their email? They said it would be with us in 2 weeks and it's now nearly the 4th week (if we count from 23rd Feb). Instead of these stamps I seem to be getting 'received items' here and there without an R number...:rolleyes:

    So is it only me or is everyone being deprived of their stamps? :confused:

    i've been kicked off! only had two lots of letters to post! but i was never promised any more stamps, don't think i was with them long enough lol!!!
  • Given that only the "test initials" should not be the same as anyone who lives at the address and only the surname may be the same, I'm not really sure what personal details there are that need shredding.

    The main reason for shredding is that nobody is meant to know that somebody at a certain address is in the postal survey and also because I read it somewhere in the survey istructions:D

    I'm still getting test items sent to me and some of them are from other panelists.
    I'm going to e-mail them if there's no signs of the stamps next week ( i only make it 2 weeks from the 23rd)

    One of the Smarts I received had an R number writen on it, so someone in the next couple of days will be geting it too.


    I got one with an R number written on it (R25**)(not relating to my item received) on Saturday. Maybe it was the same one! The clear bag holding the Smart was quite tatty and had a rip down the side if anyone else gets it! Lets all follow the dodgy smart lol :rotfl:

    No...I am still waiting for my stamps and my letter too! It will be two weeks tomorrow so I expect to get it sometime this week!

    I have actually requested to leave as it is getting ridiculous!
    Been doing it for about 7/8 mths ...and it has me running aound all over the place to post offices and post boxes ..often on the same day!!:eek:

    I think one of the key things is to be careful when listing your post boxes in the beginning. I made sure that my post boxes and post offices were all in places I go almost daily. Therefore even when I have a postbox and a post office to do on the same day I find it easy to do. At least if you have requested to leave then someone else can get a chance but sorry you have found it difficult.

    well I've finished my training so have now moved onto the next stage , I haven't read it properly yet but there is a mention of smarts will have to look into that cos not really sure what they are
  • Interesting to know I'm not the only one who hasn't received the stamps! Emails may be necessary! Especially if they keep sending me things to record!
