£10 love to shop vouchers from the prize draw. Will be delivered by special delivery tomorrow more than likely if you won today.

true enough, missed the delivery driver by 5 mins... ok TNS might not have to pay anything, but SD for a £10 voucher is a bit OTT, isnt it?

well I have applied again 4 months before moving, see what happens.

It is in a way look at the return address when you pick it up as well. :eek:

I have my first box to send next week and I cannot find any info on their website about sending boxes.

Do I just seal it down with sticky tape after I've put in the enclosures, and hand it in at my local PO to post? Our very friendly local PO lady behind the counter always asks us to put our senders details on the back of packets and boxes, what do I do if she should ask? Use the alias Mr Hussey?

Ooooh - just had the emails asking me if I'm still interested & then confirming my acceptance on the next trial starting in about 4 weeks time

Very excited about this one (is that sad?) - doesn't sound like too much work for a decent return (unless ye experts can tell me otherwise!)

put all the required bits in the box and stick it with selotape/parcel tape

I was asked once about the box when I handed it in and just said I was returning some samples to someone and all the information they needed had already been put on the box before it was sent to me....its not actually a requirement that a sender detail is put on.
or otherwise just say youre posting it on behalf of someone else!

It certainly does you just have to wait for an email to join it could take weeks, months or years depending on your area. It took me two years to get on. :eek:

It's not much work in my area but I know other people on it that get twice as much on average to send. I tend to receive more than I send.

Hi guys, sorry if this is a stupid question coming up!

I have completed my training and just received my first pack with smarts in to post out. Do I take the smarts out of the clear packet they've been sent in? The packets seem a bit bulky to me...

To be honest...it all depends how far you live from a main post office and a post box...as over the course of the next 6 months or so...you'll become quite aquainted with both....

theres also a certain amount of logging post you receive but again its not a great deal or particularly time consuming...perhaps the most fiddly bit is actually preparing the things for posting...and again depending on how you do it,it really doesnt take that long

The amounts you do post after training have gone up in the past year or so and perhaps the only niggle I have with it all is that sometimes I need to go to the sorting office to pick up my posting pack because ive not been in when its delivered and is too big to fit through the letterbox

Ive just finished my active time and ive now got plenty of stamps to see me through to at least the end of the year...so at this stage I'm happy for a break.

Ive been on the panel 4 or 5 years and actually this 6 months has been the most demanding in terms of posting and receiving...

Geek fact coming up...and only because im about to shred all the details after finishing this stint...ive posted 137 items this period that I've been active...I dont keep a record of how many items I receive!

My advice to you would be give it a go for your first 6 months and you'll either enjoy it and carry on if your asked to again or decide that you have more than enough stamps to last you and its not worth the hassle
