Royal Mail Surveys

A wee heads up in case anyone is caught out like I nearly was yesterday - a thick, heavy clothes catalogue arrived, shrink wrapped. I wasn't sure if it was a test item or not so I checked on items without an R number that I should receive shortly. It wasn't on there. I was about to throw it in the bin when I thought I'd have a quick flick through this morning - when I opened it there was a white envelope inside with R number and SMART! This was not obvious - it was well buried inside the pack amongst other leaflets etc and just found it by sheer luck.
I've never had an R numbered catalogue or magazine before, just to say it might be worth a quick check of "junk" items as they might not be junk at all!

I've just got this today - so checked & the Smart was in the envelope!

They've told me just to bin things now, but I'll send any Smarts back to them I think.....

Still can't believe I'm receiving things!

I've had a SMART inside an envelope before on another mailling but not a catalogue. Thanks for the tip off!

I have only received one thing since I got chucked off.

To be honest I'm not really missing doing it that much, my other surveys make up for it really.

That's a bit harsh, maybe next time get someone you trust to do it for you, and that way they (Kantar) will be none the wiser.

I couldn't get anyone to do it for me sadly, oh well I had a good run but I will miss the stamps as I used them for book swaps and now that'll have to stop too,ho hum

Yeh a fellow MS-er. Get yourself onto the stamp shop jobs and you will have stamps for the rest of your life!!! You won't even miss these jobs!

I did the stamp shops for over two years - but had the "bye bye" email from them around the same time I got the Royal Mail one - ah well - they were both good while they lasted!

It's only the stamp & coffee shops I miss from that particular company though - I never really bothered much with any of their other jobs.

Luckily I'm with dozens of companies & get regular work - some have quite interesting projects that I do regularly - & are fairly lucrative - so not too bad! Just have to buy my own stamps after all these years...........:(

I have received two magazines from different companies with the addressee as Umit Circir.
The address is wrong and sois the postcode.
But they got here to me.
I cannot find these magazines in the 'No R Number' section but they have not appeared as yet.

Anyone else been getting strange magazines?
