Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Beckyy

I've 8 to post next week plus one which I couldn't post last week following over. Hardly worth the stamps for one weeks work, let alone the other 3!

I seem to be one of only a few people still happy to do this. Was invited back after xmas, after a 6 month break, done 3 correctly delivered, now doing unaddressed survey and starting the parcel monitor again next week. I am quite lucky that I live a stones throw from the main sorting office for my area, and have 2 post boxes on my regular dog walk route. Also I have a large off the road/ out of view porch so packets etc can be left with no problem.

Hi my former flatmate has just been accepted for this survey after signing up a few years ago. The problem is he no longer lives at my address. Is it possible for the name to be changed?

If not he is happy for me to do the survey in his name - but will this require going to the sorting office to pick up stuff all the time?

He would be happy to give me a debit card which he doesn't use and has 0 in the account, so I can pick up stuff addressed to him (yes we trust each other), but if we don't need to do this then it would be easier.

Also, I will be leaving this address in 5 months, so can I still take part from my new address (I presume they want to test the post in specific areas, so no)?

Personally, I wouldn't bother. It's enough hassle doing it in your own name for a few stamps, without having to try and get mail in another name etc.

Why is it hassle? Thought it would be just posting a few letters every week? I go to the post office anyway to send ebay items, so a few parcels wouldn't be a problem either

Do you get the stamps before you have to do anything, so I could profit and quit after a month if it is too tedious?

It is a hassle for me to get to a post office, which I don't mind occassionally, say once a week, but over the next 2 week period I have got 9 items to post, five of which are at POs.

The frequency of posting required at the moment is a bit much, I think. I'm trying to keep on top of it but didn't really expect to be doing it almost every day.

What happens if you don't manage to post it on the required day?

If you miss a posting then you post the same day and timescale on the following week. x

Yes, I was 'rested' last year, resurrected in late autumn, put onto training (total waste of time - had been doing this for years before being rested), and then , er nothing. For several weeks. Nothing. No post to post, no email about it, but not 'rested'.

And then, with no reference to my autumn resurrection, I was 'resurrected', again, in late January. And given training, again.

And then, last week, formally rested again.

Someone at Kantar is really messing up...

Just to add, at the end of last week, I was told I was back on, again (third time now). How long will it last this time? A week? Two?

They really need to sort out their procedures - it's farcical. And this is a firm purporting to measure the performance of another! I wouldn't trust their data!

Is it just me or would stamps be a bit useless?! Who uses stamps these days, I can't even remember the last time I did, that's what email is for! Thank you though op
