  • Umm, maybe.... our postie (a very nice and good one) is pretty savvy. I reckon if we know who Kantar are, i'm sure they do too!
    Do Kantar do other things as well as the Postal things?

    Kantar, are a market research company, who have also merged with TNS, so its probably okay for them to have it on the envelopes as they will obviously be sending other mail out for other reasons too.

    Minor flaw with the "Kantar" on the envelope argument. I checked on mine today - it no longer says return to Kantar, it just gives an address without a company name. Still, I use different initials for my mail all the time. It lets me trace where the junk mail got my address from. A trick I learnt from my mother 30+ years ago. I think the change has got more to do with reducing RM's wriggle room so they can't say "Of course it was late/misdelivered, it didn't have the correct name on it."

    Will still be a pain for me though.

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.
  • Something I have noticed with the test letters is that they don't include the county (in my case County Durham) in the address, just the town & postcode. That might be something for people to look out for when trying to work out what really is junk!
  • What I don't get is why panelists have to write on the outside of the envelope when they have to post these. What a dead giveaway. Why can't folk use post it notes or use their memory??
    The art is not in making money,
    but in keeping it!!!

    My SIL does this with birthday cards so I don't think it is necessarily a 'give-away' but I don't think it is necessary as there is a printed sheet after all

    Exactly, I put the weekly posting sheet and all the things to post in a poly-pocket sleeve for each week so I can easily pull it out and see what is to post.

    I use the big brown envelopes we get each week. One for prepared postings and one for old sheets, smarts, envelopes etc. In my diary I just write "post" and PB or PO and the time. Easy!

    Similar to you, but I use 6 of the big brown envelopes: 1 for each day of the week so I can see at a glance if anything needs posting on a specific day.

    I put mine in date order on jubilee clips, I put the posting schedule at the front and the letters behind. I move the next letter to be posted, on top of the schedule whenever I post the last one.
