Check the postcode on the R number sticker, does it match your postcode?

I once had one sent where it was addressed to me but the postcode/R number sticker was for somebody else.

I'd phone Joanne and ask her to check for me she's always helpful:)

You are right it isn't my postcode on the R sticker - clever you Thanks
will phone Joanne

I've just had a bit of a strange one. Logged on before opening my post as I'd had an email asking me to return some smarts. There was one on there that I don't have. I then opened my mail and I had a letter off them enclosing a smart for me to use in my test letters, its the one that they want returned. What is the point in sending me one for me to send straight back? I'm now getting concerned that I'm being booted off as this leaves me with none in my stock, but then why send me this one one day then decide actually no you can't have that.

I found out I was being "terminated" by checking my online posting schedule for the week following the current one and finding it blank. If you do have stuff to post next week, check online again on Monday for the following week to see if you are still OK. Don't believe anything they tell you over the phone. I was assured there were no plans to stop me taking part in the survey yet the letter informing me I was being put on "reserve" must have already been in the post.

Thanks for reply, redagila. Regarding the misdelivery surveys, I always applied online when I saw one advertised - I think it is on the first page after signing in, a short note saying when the survey was to be held etc. and did I want to take part.

Will I still be able to sign in and check for the likes of that after my current activity is over?

Look at post 1565 above. Carrie says she checks regularly so do the same and you may be lucky. HTH

I do have stuff to post next week, I would usually receive stuff for the following week tomorrow (before it goes on the site) so I'll have to wait and see if I get anything, if not I'll check on Monday and if there is nothing there I've been let go fingers crossed I'm okay

Just had a new one for me today.

Letter arrived postmarked 28/08/10 i.e. TOMORROW. Now waiting to hear from Joanne. It does have a smart so sure they will be able to check actual posting date.

Is this the way RM "doctor" their stats!! Not very good if you are needing to prove despatch date - another reason for getting certificate of posting when sending anything important.

I don't think you should start worrying yet. The quantity of post you have to send varies so much. If I remember correctly I had one week where I had no regular post but then received an extra letter to post + an extra book of stamps as usual for an extra posting!

I do wonder sometimes about the handling of smarts. Like you I was sent a couple of smarts last week but now have to return them + others in stock, presumably as I shall be on holiday in 10 days. You will probably receive some in letters next week.

If you look back over this thread, you will see that this topic comes up now and again.

Thanks again redagila for your help. I'll keep checking in like Carrie and maybe get some more vouchers.

All in all it's been quite worthwhile. I won 4 x £10 on the daily draw during my time on the survey plus quite a few misdelivery vouchers too. There were also the extra stamps for posting an occasional extra letter. I used to save my books of stamps up then send Christmas cards out really early to the family and stick loads of stamps in for them saying I had bought them as presents to save them some money. They used to be over the moon with them.;)

What I liked most about it was it gave me an incentive to get ready and get out of the house two or three times a week. Before I joined I had become kind of housebound due to disability. I'll have to find something else!

I was doing this for 2 years and I really loved it, then we moved last November to a different area I let them know and they asked me to send everything back

They told me I am on reserve and to keep checking on the site but there is nothing I really miss doing this especially the stamps and the Special stamps they used to send.

I never won anything but I did get the odd Love2shop voucher for doing extra postings.
I keep hoping that one day I will log in and they will want me back lol
