    Note on website advising to post any letter next week on same day if you are unable to post this week because of the weather conditions (usual instructions but I know this question pops up regularly).
    I have just been accepted for another misdelivery next month so another £6 vouchers. Check your homepage when you log in for the invitation.

    Spoke to Joanne today and she told me to post the items whenever I can, possibly because there aren't regular collections in my area due to the weather.

    I too have got the misdelivery invite, chek your pages fellow posters! :)

    Hi all,

    I had a posting today in a post box and posted it in a post box on the street outside the sub Post office. Is this ok or should I have trotted down to the supermarket (for example) and posted it there?

    Thank you x

    When it says to post at a post office, you don't have to take it inside but just put it in the box outside.
    I therefore use the post office postbox when it says "post office" and use a non-post office box when it says "post box".
    Seems to me that if they specify, one should try to follow the instruction.
    I think it is best to do that but they are less worried about where (as long as it's in your agreed area) as much as the date.
    So don't worry about having posted something other than strictly speaking in the box they are suggesting - they won't contact you to say it was wrong.

    Fab, thank you anamenottaken. I normally follow that rule but wasn't thinking logically with the weather as it is!

  • What do you have to do on the misdelivered one. I have been doing postal survey for 18 months now but never taken them up on the mis deliveries option.

    I use the majority of my stamps for entering postal competitions on mse. Also won £10 just before Christmas and i actually am now keeping a diary due to the freebie they send me every year.

    The misdelivery surveys are easy!

    You just tell them how many letters you receive every day during the period it covers and if any of them aren't for you & have the wrong address on them. Most of the time nothing is wrong so all you have to do is fill one figure in.

    Plus you're also missing out on £6 of vouchers if you don't do them!

    Are we supposed to have received the stamps for this month? I'm quite new, and have already finished the training, and just finished off a misdelivery survey last week, but haven't received anything to send off or haven't received anything to input onto the system so just wondering if it's me or anyone else.

    Thanks Chocmonster i will give it a go then.
    a couple of months ago i was asked if i wanted to do a parcel survey too. I think it was 1 parcel a month i had to post. another one i didn't bother with but might take them up on it at a later date if the offers still on.
