It all becomes clear when you have completed your training. You do not get issued with smarts when training, only when you have been accepted. They are small (photo size) orange coloured plastic wrapped items with a four letter code written in large letters on that you usually include with the pieces of paper which you have to stick white stickers on inside envelopes and either hand write or stick address label or pre-printed envelopes.

Once you've finished your training period they will send you lots of information about smarts and what you have to do with them. Don't worry about them until that time just concentrate on doing the training envelopes right for the first few weeks.

On the bits of paper inside the envelopes you put the sticker that has an R number on it. You just match up the address label with the R number. Smarts are small packs which have a wee chip in it that monitors the journey of the posted ite, it can let the post office know if they can improve the service. Hope I have explained this well. :beer: .

Hi Can any one tell me what seems to be the average no of items to post a week. I have 6 over 4 days and thought this seemed quite a few. Also when was the last stamp run I can't remember when when I last had some, is it every 4 weeks or monthly? Thanks in advance for any help

There isn't a set number of items each week, I have had seven to post in one week, three on the same day at different times. I can't remember when the last stamp run was, but I think it was week commencing 21/10/08.:beer:

I usually have to post two items each week.

Plus I return any received items each Friday.
