    Well I just applied. Will see what happens.
  • After reading a thread on this site last week, i applied for the royal mail surveys, it said i was accepted & the pack including free stamps would arrive in a few days, indeed i received the test pack including free stamps & the documents telling me when to post the typed & hand written specimens to their test address etc.. one day before i was due to post the first envelope i received an email from them to say they had enough people in my area, keep the stamps as a gesture of goodwill & rip up and bin the test documents.. so i basically got 12 small & 4 large first class stamps for free..

    bargain...

    The first time I received test mail from the Scottish National Party I thought someone had sold them my address (with test initials!) so I ripped it all up, put it in their replied paid envelope and posted it back to them!

    RI sent me a nice email asking me not to do that :D:D

    I was doing that for ages until I suddenly realized :o
  • Am I supposed to post back the letters/items received on a weekly basis?

    I have looked through the tutorials but unable to find any specific information on this.

    Many thanks!

    Yes, you get a large grey, plastic envelope and put them inside that. Most post it back every Friday.
    Also, put a sticker from the bottom on your sticker sheet on the back, outside of the envelope (the sticker has a bar code and says to attach to envelopes)
    hope that helps
    Veni, Vidi, Visa. I came, I saw, I shopped:rolleyes:

    Yes
    You're suppose to return and received items in the large plastic envelope with a barcode sticker on which can be found with the sheet of labels you're sent with in your posting pack,at the end of each week.

    When I first started I didn't realise I was meant to post all the received letters back etc so I just binned them all for a few weeks. I then realised and started doing it. Didn't get in any trouble though phew.
