Royal Mail Surveys

Interesting also to see that this particular forum is mentioned in the Telegraph article.

Not a very sucessful week for me . Couldn't do my posting on one day (will do next week) and put one in post office instead of post box (tired after a long week at work) . Never mind, I do 99% correctly so I'm sure they will forgive me!!

Don't think the odd one wrong is a problem, it i still a postbox! The main criteria they want is for the letter to be posted on the correct day of the week.

Whoops! Do you think this might mean we'll all soon be out of a job? I hope not as I really like doing this.

There was a programme on TV a few weeks ago about the postal workers 'knowing' this.

Stupid question, but I can't get the help bits of the website to work and they never specified.

I have two items that turned up this morning and they want me to return a smart too.

Do I just put everything into one of the white mailing bags they sent and pop them in Mondays post?
Or do I send them individually, and do I have to wait to be told when to send them?

Does the smart go with?

Sorry, just a bit confused.

Every week you send back all the mail you have received appertaining to the survey in the big grey envelopes, the Smarts get sent back in the small envelopes marked 'Smart returns only' I normally send all mine back on a Saturday. You are made aware when you are due to send back Smarts. I hope I have explained it well, if not let me know and I will try and explain better.

That's brilliant thank you.

What if you haven't been sending back test items and received items back? For example, I only properly read the top bit of the R number form thing which said to send stuff back and I realised that I hadn't been doing that at all and I've been doing this since november, so quite a while now. I've only just started doing it though. Do you have to send the brochures and catalogues too? The ones that look like spam mail?

Have a read through all the training and the faqs. It explains it all there. It all has to go back in the large envelope, though with the magazines etc you can send just the front cover back and recycle the rest of the mag in your usual way.

Even after doing this for ages I still find it helpful to go back through the training stuff, it's easy to forget and it's set out very clearly there.

Princess_x, what have you been doing with all the mail you've been sent then?

I reckon if postal workers went around feeling all the envelopes nothing would ever get delivered!!

I do think that test initials are ok unless you use something like one I sent to recently Mrs XX ????

That does look blatant.

Let's hope that we are able to keep going - I enjoy it and the stamps are useful. :j

It is only a small minority of cheaters who give the decent hard working posties a bad name.
