Are people still doing this? Is it worth registering?

Registered with them about 8 months ago and apart from one email I've never heard or received anything, so not worth it.

I've just been contacted by them to recieve mail and do a survey at the end, so they do get in touch months after applying.

Just received this email inviting me to a postal survey panel, similar to the Research International/ Kantar panel, except it appears i would only be receiving items.

Has anyone else received this message, or have any experience of the company? I have a vague memory of signing up to this many months ago, but cant remember how i found it and cant seem to find anything here.

"Dear xxx

Thank you very much for your registration on https://www.world-mail-panel.com and your interest in our international postal surveys.

For a continuous survey, which starts in January 2014, we are looking for reliable panellists located in your region acting as a receiver of test mail with their private and/or business postal address.

With your help we will monitor the transit time of UK letters from the sender to the receiver (end-to-end). The postal service providers will use the results of the measurement to improve their quality of service for the benefit of all postal customers.

This survey is called Royal Mail Access (RMA) and is carried out on behalf of the major postal service providers in the UK, including Royal Mail. It measures the end-to-end transit times of all mail collected by service providers other than Royal Mail,
which is then handed over to Royal Mail for distribution to your home or office. The measurement results give Royal Mail the opportunity to further improve their cooperation with these service providers for the benefit of the public service provided to you.

YOUR TASK:

With the help of RFID transponder tags in every test item we will be able to track each letter's route through special antennas installed in mail sorting centres all across the UK. However, we rely on your help as a receiver to determine the final delivery date of the
test item. Therefore your job is extremely important to measure the exact transit time. It requires a daily mail checking routine as well as a timely confirmation of receipt.

- In case you participate with your private address you will receive between 2 and 5 test letters per week depending on your region.
- In case you participate with your business address you will receive between 4 and 10 test letters per week depending on your region.
- The majority of test mail will be regular letters and some large letters. In exceptional cases you will also receive a small parcel (approx. 1-2 parcels per year).
- You enter all delivery dates of your test mail on our website https://www.world-mail-panel.com.
- You return all transponders in postage-paid return envelopes provided by us in advance. You may simply drop them in a mailbox at your convenience.

YOUR REWARD:

For your activity, you will receive a basic monthly bonus of £3,00 as well £0,20 per confirmed test item and additional £0,10 per returned transponder. For example as a private receiver of test mail with a monthly average of twelve test items you would receive
a monthly bonus of £3 + 12 x £0,20 + 12 x £0,10 resulting in £6,60.

To redeem your bonus you can choose among:

- an Amazon gift voucher (https://www.amazon.co.uk)
- or a Globoforce gift voucher (https://www.globoforce.net/microsites/eng/index.jsp?client=myglobogift)
- or payment on a registered e-account with PayPal (https://www.paypal.com) or Moneybookers (https://www.moneybookers.com)
- or we donate your award to the international humanitarian medical aid agency "Doctors Without Borders" (https://www.msf.org)

Taking part will not cause any costs for you.

If you want to join this panel, please confirm your participation by providing us with your exact private and/or business postal address and daytime phone number as soon as possible at xxx@quotas.de. Thank you.

Your data will be used exclusively for this survey and treated according to the ESOMAR (European Society for Opinion and Marketing Research) rules of data protection.

We are happy about your assistance!

Best regards,"

Thanks,

David

If I remember right when I asked TNS about the international survey they said it was one or the other. So, don't know if that still applies? assuming this is run by TNS?

HI

Thanks, OP. Just registered.

(Noticed that this company is based in Germany. Could it be run by TNS?)

This one seems to be run by a German company, Quotas GmbH

I've just received email from TNS saying I've only got 1 week left, so seriously considering this one

I'll have a go then. If it is TNS then they can only throw me off.

It could be run by TNS as they are a global company. Although looking at the website it probbly is not.
