    Got accepted to panel last month and been sent two postage assignments, but now i've got an email saying they're oversubscribed so my place on the panel has been suspended :( has anyone else had this?

    I have just had this email as well today but was told I could continue with my correctly addressed survey -news to me as I am not doing any surveys for them at present.

    Are they going back to their old ways of incompetence?:D

    Got two boxes in the posting pack for week after next, not sure why they sent it so early. Will have to email them as they are due to be posted on two separate days, neither of which are when I make my weekly trip into the city centre and am near a post office. Admittedly there are only three items in total for that week but it costs me money to travel so they are going to have to pick a single day and both will be posted then, either that or they can have them back :D

    Though the boxes need to be sent from a post office, you could delay sending till the next week and week after but on the same day. Is the day you go to the city centre fixed to just one day?

    I can see the boxes being the eventual reason I give up...they really can be more hassle than they are worth...they dont stick together easily,normally theres a queue at the PO to hand them in,you end up having to justify 101 reasons why theres extra postage placed on them and on the one day I'm not around the postman decides to leave a card meaning ive got to go to the sorting office to collect....and then stand in another queue!

    good luck with your 2!

    My time is coming to an end, I will miss it as well
    Received my final pack today, included incentive for July and some commemorative stamps
    In six months I have only received one box and posted one box.
    Despite an email and a telephone call saying I would shortly be receiving magazines I have never received any
    Averaged around five items a week received and to post.
  • To all those that recieve little red cards saying you have to go to the sorting office to collect....thats not necessarily true.

    On the back of the red card there should be a web address and a phone number as well, where you can have your parcel redelivered to your home at a time to suit you.

    Yes I only ever posted 3 boxes and recieved none in my 6 months.
    My work averaged posting around 6 a week and also got the incentives same as your self.

    Same here - I was pleased to get my incentive's for July even though I won't be posting in July (although I suppose I might receive some)

    I am gutted as I love receiving the stamps.

    I think I have been on for 8 or 9 months though so I wonder how soon I will be invited back.

    Biggest give away today that I am on this panel is receiving a water letter (envelope makes very clear who it is) in an area where this company does not even supply :rotfl:

    i own a rental property which is 200 miles away from my main home...and receive mail from that associated water company in connection with the house....so its not really a giveaway...you know the mail is test mail,but the postman isnt to know what you know!
