    The £6 H.S.V. were a pain in Iceland as the cashier had to ask for a Supervisor to check them and then they said even though in date that the vouchers have changed style/colour and that was the last time they would accept the old style/colour!

    First thank you lannyloo I just thought it was odd that this is the first time I have ever had a misdelivery and I was doing the special survey.

    I have put my H.S.V. voucher in my sealed pot for Christmas.As it will still be in date but perhaps I had better spend
    it now instead.Has anyone else had problems.

  • I ve been a member for about 2 and half months, and today i received a WEM for the daily draw of £10.

    Initially the whole set up seems a bit confusing, but they do break you in gently, and although you seem to have loads of paperwork hanging about, if you re home during week, it s a good way to earn stamps and vouchers

    Hi,
    I have been very lucky and had a good few H.S.V vouchers and have had no problems at all using them. They do have a good expiry on them as well so ideal for putting away for xmas.
    Thanks for any help and advice given

    quick question I've finished my training and am starting to receive mail now
    it says that I have to return this weekly in the grey envelope provided
    can I just put this in the post box or do I have to take it to the post office

    All test items go in the large plastic envelope (dont forget to stick a barcode sticker on the back of it) and yeah stick it in a postbox, i usually send mine back on a Friday

    Xmas Saver!
    Ooo a lovely treat, I hope I get some!

    A quick Q for postal experts on here, please -
    I have now amassed a nice little collection of stamps and have a couple of parcels I want to send. Can I stick on 1st class stamps up to the value of the postage? If so, what if I wanted to send the parcel 2nd class, could I still use the 1st class stamps and write 2nd class on the parcel? Thanks for any help.

    YES.YES, YES
    I'm glad someone has good ideas like me, I did that at xmas, posted 3 parcels which would of cost £27 if I had to pay, the difference was £1.00 to pay xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    I seem to remember them doing something similar before - can't remember if it was Easter or not - but they gave away chocolate. It was only to certain people though on a random basis (I didn't get any :() so maybe they are doing the same again. What's the betting I don't get any again lol
