    With regards to sending the blank wads of paper, as the contents of the large white envelopes are archived, it does not matter whether you do or not.

    If they can be of use to you I would keep them :)

    Thought you had to send everything back:confused:

    You do have to send everything back. It does clearly tell you to do this.

    The one I do is by Reasearch International as per the first post.

    I did get the starter pack where you sent off letters with stamps etc. a long time ago. But after the initial period they said they had enough people in my area.

    I must have received an e-mail invite to do the one I am on now. Maybe it will only last three months. Then I will have to post the things back?

    :eek: Oh oh - I've been doing this survey since February and have only ever sent back the 'junk mail' magazines they have sent me. Do you really have to send back everything? I will do from now if that's the case.

    Thanks

    Every week you send back whatever has been received as test items - with the exception of the SMARTs which are either sent on to another panellist or returned separately if specifically requested.

    Hi there

    i am wondering if anyone wants to donate any stamps that they don't want as we can use them to help to pay for postage costs of parcels we send to hospitals. We send knitted and crochet clothing to special care baby units and babies that who sadly don't survive.
    Each parcel we send cost us £3.40

    All the help we get is some much appreciated,

  • Just checked my account & I have nothing to post next week & so far no stamps for May, they are NOT asking for Smarts back so presuming that's good but should I email asking what's happening about my stamps if I have nothing to post that week? Thanks xx

    I also have nothing to post next week and as you say it's the stamp run, I'm hoping that they will send them out anyway, I'm also hoping it doesn't mean I've been kicked off:o

    Some weeks i dont have anything to post, stamps are usually sent out in a normal envelope.

    Just because you have nothing to post 1 week, doesnt mean your going to get booted.
