    Anyone ever received half a posting plan, letters etc to post with inserts, no labels what so ever

    I've had a weeks postings arrive in 2 envelopes. Is it showing online ? If there are a lot of items and several packets, then they won't all fit in a single envelope. So one envelope has the labels and some of the envelopes. Could be the other half will be in tomorrows post ?

    Hi everyone....can I just pop up again and remind everyone not to disclose personal information about the types of post you receive or whom you send it to.

    I understand there are a lot of new users to the postal panel and perhaps the official website/FAQ section/helpline number may not be as efficient as it should be but I do get the feeling that reading the thread over the past few months that perhaps a little too much information is being given in individual posts about the panel as a whole....

    I know its great to "talk" to like minded pannelists and its sometimes tempting to share the contents of an email you may have received inviting you to join etc dont forget everyone else whos active on the panel has also received those instructions too at some point ,so you ar'nt actually telling us anything new but you could be passing on information that could be pieced together by others who are not part of the panel... we must remain anonomos and not give out any pointers to non pannelists about the items we send or receive....or indeed too much information about any inserts we may be asked to include in the postings.
    Please be respectful of the confidentiality of the panel...thanks

    You might like to consider this little story first:


    http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.uk/Magistrate-resigns-admitting-postal-fraud/story-13259457-detail/story.html

    12 month community order and £2500 ordered to be paid to Royal Mail.
    Or, in other words, if you are reusing stamps then don't shout about it in public and don't try to sell them on :)

    I applied over a year ago and never heard anything. Six months ago, we moved house, and had redirection for 3 months, still nothing. Then, after our redirection ends, my old neighbour forwarded me a letter with a Royal Mail Survey in. I didn't receive any emails or official invites. I am slightly confused.

    I also can't register with my new address, as the site doesn't accept my postcode! :mad:

    I am not aware that the panel members here should be receiving surveys directly from Royal mail so I think you will find that what you have received may not be linked to this panel

    If you are invited to join this panel following submitting your details the initial contact will usually be made via email or a telephone call...although it may take months or even years for a space to become available in your area although a rotation of panel members has allowed much more opportunity to take on panelists

    Some new build properties are not registered on the postcode finder...it seems to be a common thing that many hopeful panelist have found previously

    Still quite new to this, I got a post pack today with SMARTS in which i need to put into my next set of post - do I just put the relevant SMART straight into the envelope with the R label?

    Also, how often do the stamp packs get sent out :D?

    SMART in envelope together with the R label on the usual piece of paper, not on the SMART.

    Reward stamps are sent out once a month when you are actively posting to other panelists.

    I don't know if anyone else agrees but for the amount of work you have to do now for the stamps it does feel like there taking the mick, every day I get something in the post making flat letter box full up so could miss out on something ive ordered, like today I have a sorry we missed you card as they couldnt get any more in my mailbox. Not only that I have to send off 5 items next week at silly times.

    I also have so many smarts it's stupid, I go to manage my smarts and some arn't even on there around 5. I dread to think what a pain it is when you start getting parcels!!. Tbh I might pack it in after the 6 month period has ended as £10 a month really isnt worth it for the amount of work required..
