Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Alloneword

Don't know if I'm allowed to do this or not, if not mods just remove and a thousand apologies.

I used to do this myself ages ago and ended up with tons of stamps and ended up giving a load away, and now I'm running short, Doh!

So anyone want to sell me some 2nd class stamps, if so how much do you want for 12 x 2nd class.

Box at my local post office is a brass slot in the wall, in the window of the post office is a poster with the opening and last collection times, at the bottom of the poster is the box number

I have to agree that not all Post Office post boxes have numbers.

I went to a big village recently on my way through for work and went to the Post office - no number on the box (which is inside the PO).

Could not find it for love nor money. Emailed TNS and they gave me the link someone else had and it was not listed.

They told me to pick another one in the same village and use that!!

you're probably quite right,you shouldn't be asking for someone to sell you some cheap stamps....but just to clarify,the panelists dont get sent second class stamps,so wouldn't be able to sell you those....each panelist is sent a book of 12 first class stamps and 4 large letter stamps per month that they remain on the panel.

However could I suggest that you perhaps have a look on ebay for some stamps that are sold less than face value,you might pick up what you need there,

Just received my first box (from someone else, not to post), it has 565p of stamps but measures less than 16x16x16cm, which means it's a small parcel that should only cost 300p... (just like the 300p packets actually fit large letters costing 90p by the time they arrive).

If I need to post one in the future then not sure how I would convince the PO staff that I just feel like paying twice, since my PO is quite clued up on the cube sized parcels - they even have a box to demonstrate.

At my PO the other day, the girl behind the counter said I was overpaying for a normal packet, should only have been £2 something.
I just shrugged and told her that the company I was dealing with sent the SAE packets out...then cheekily added "if they want to waste their millions on wrong postage, fine with me!"

So, funnily enough, received July stamps today, and a printed message saying that the box should actually be priced at 300p!

Probably not TNS looking at this thread though, they would have sent out the packet a while ago...

Yes that seems to happen quite frequently....hang on a while you may even find that you are sent another email saying you're back on the panel....it does seem that over the past few months its been very unpredictable with joining/rejoining the panel

I've received an email from TNS today telling me that my time as an active panel member is coming to an end in the next couple of weeks. I've only been on the panel since March so was not expecting this yet. Is this normal? I thought it was 6 months on, 6 months off

It depends on the other people they've recruited in your area. When I was rested, I was back on the panel 3 months later. There doesn't seem to be a definitive timescale as such.
