    I've got enough of the old ones to last till the end of the century!! Well a bit of an exaggeration!! Have posted loads back to them some time ago but got another pile now. I hate envelopes that don't stick down - can't bear licking them - yuck and full of calories :rotfl: If some smarts get lost they will go back to the old ones. ;)

    I know what you mean about licking envelopes, I've just done a wack of xmas cards, sure the taste gets worse each year.

    I'm still on the old smart envelopes at mo....

    Has anyone had any posting yet for w/c7th Dec, couldn't remember when they stopped 4 xmas last yr. x

    I had one of the new envelopes as this week, used it straight away although I too have enough of the old type to last many years.

    Next week I have a job to send out but no envelope to match it, I have four jobs next week but only three envelopes. I have contacted Kantar by email but as usual, I no reply. This means I have to supply the envelope and stamp.
    However, as they have been sending me stamps for over a year or so, I guess I can use one of mine for a change.

    I have been doing this for about 12 months now and only had one extra test letter to send in the 12 months but the last 3 weeks have had one a week:j anybody else getting extras all of a sudden. Have had about £25 worth of stamps this month.

    Had one about 3 weeks ago but that's all. Nice to get the extras - really worthwhile doing. Hope they continue!!

    No - don't use your own envelope and stamp. If they haven't sent the stamped envelope and you have told them, they should eventually note this on their system.

    On my online list a couple of weeks ago there was an item which was not on the printed sheet. I assume it would have been an additional item with the opportunity for another book of stamps for me. Though I told them in time to get a pack out to me, they just noted that I could not send it!

    I've finally rung up today to ask why I haven't had any reply to my emails and got a lovely woman who emailed me so I could send her the THREE emails which I sent to join the panel. I hope she can find out why I had no response since replying to the original email inviting me to join the panel on 24/06/09 ... watch this space.

    I still haven't received anything to send yet. I received the stamps for the training, but didn't receive anything to send with the pack. And now when i log on, it seems like i got nothing to send at all! Have enquired about it though so just waiting to see what they say.
