    To give you some idea of timescale, I am doing a misdelivery survey starting next week & received the paperwork at the end of last week.

    For me it has always been a really easy £6 as we have an excellent postie and rarely receive any middeliveries, as he knows everyone in our close.

    I sometimes need to send items back twice in one week if I've received a lot of them - and therefore use both barcodes. Recently I received 8 items on one day alone and most of them were bulky. I find I can't always get a really stuffed grey envelope through the slot on the post box depending on which one I'm passing that day.
    Yeah, whatever. I'm a grown up, I can take it...

    these surveys that you get paid in vouchers for do you have to be in all day
    I was under the impression it would be no good for me as I work part time ???

    No you dont have to be in all day. Its just a case of logging how many letters you get each day while doing the survey, and if any were incorrectly delievered.

    No, basically you have to count all the post that you receive and record details of any that are misdirected, eg wrong name and address. It seems quite complicated when you first read the instructions but actually is quite simple to do.
    You do, however, have to be available for the 2 weeks that any survey takes.
    I have always found it an easy £6 as I very rarely have a misdelivery but, of course, that could change!
