On the stamp jobs it says post a letter and get a POP (Proof of Posting), does that also mean you can post a parcel instead please, and can it only be 1 item up to the £5.00?

Sorry for such a stupid question....newbie here
TIA

I just went to take the test and my computer froze and closed down the internet! When I logged back on, I couldn't see them but assumed thats because it crashed when I was about to start the test and so that would have counted as my "one session". Ive emailed Gapbuster about it anyway!

The fuel jobs on Gap are tight. The fee is less than the amount they want you to spend!
This is a cheek if you ask me. When you go out of your way to do the job, then fill in the report and all for what then turns out to be a very small amount.

It's been like that for ages Matt - I think it's okay, although I didn't pick any up this time - was offered a few on the phone yesterday but they weren't close enough together to make them 'easy'.

Hi all,
I came back off hols on Friday. Had 7 white envelopes from MS client but was expecting 8. Has anyone else had money not turn up through the post? What did you do. I am thinking of waiting, or I could ring and tell them, but there is no way of me proving that I haven't had it.
That said I have done a fair few jobs and would be unlikely to try and con them out of £15.
Any ideas.
Thanks.
Matt

But you would have had to buy fuel anyway so although its called a reimbursement I regard it as a contribution to the somewhat higher cost of fuel at these particular garages and a payment.

Hi,

The stamp jobs, if you buy an item from the shop the receipt must have the minimum £5 spend on it, so for example if you buy envelopes and parcel tape etc

When sending a letter/parcel, it does not have to be the £5 minimum, I sent a letter recorded last month and it cost £1.05 - Gap ask for a "Central Letter" on the POP but this doesnt really exist anymore as most Post Offices have changed over to using electronic receipts that Gap accept as POP

the GAP stamp jobs say to make a purchase OR post a letter and get a POP. but it also says to spend a minimum of £X.XX. posting a letter will not cost this so do I have to make up the spend up to the minimum?
thanks oh wise ones!

just seen post above.....has anyone been paid for these jobs and just posted a letter. i have 1 to post with just a 1st class stamp on...will it be enough??

So I could send a parcel that costs £3.50 for instance..... then could you make the minimum spend up by adding £1.50 worth of stamps?
