    I thought my post was clear enough..I have finished my 6 month 'term' over 3 weeks ago.I am not getting anymore post from anyone.But I still have a few Stamped packets to post to people from over a month ago but have no SMARTS so I cant send them. So I presume they are mine to use now.?

    Personally, I would contact them to ask what they prefer you to do with the items rather than assume that you can keep the envelopes and stamps.

    you mean you don't like being on the panel?

    Its more work than I imagined it to be but like someone said earlier I don't make work for myself, I don't always post on the specified time because I work during the day but they do say as long as you post on the right day the time doesn't so much matter.

    Just started SMARTS and they're more work than the normal surveys

    Yep I am not enjoying it at all, I work shifts so am finding it much much more trouble than it is worth ...for eg I start tomorrow at 7.30 am so need to leave at 6.30 , I don't finish till 10pm so won't be home till 10.45 and yet between 10-1 pm I have to post something at my local post office that whilst just up the street from me ... Is miles away from my work and I haven't chance of being able to post it

    Thanks might try that, I'm assuming it would be the address that you first send your stuff to ?

    When I have an item that needs posting between 10-1 and I am in work I just post it in the morning on my way to work which is usually around 7.30. So long as you post it on the correct day and enter the correct time of posting (07.30) on your posting plan that's okay. Don't worry about whether it is a post box or post office either just use whichever is best for you.

    Ahhh right I didn't know that I have a few things sitting here as I was waiting do the next week to post them on the same day at the same time they asked for ( just a week late) I assumed it had to be at the post office as that's what they ask, I also assumed it had to be that time ... Will just ensure I post them that day

    Thanks that makes it much less stressful

    Anyone else had to think on their feet when doing a box at the post office,

    I had my first box today which the post master duly informed me that I had paid too much for the postage, it should have cost about £3, when there was over £5 in stamps on it.

    It didn't help that the delivery address was in the same town.
