    i was asked about the box and said I was returning a sample of seat padding to a supplier

    I was asked initially because of the postage for it back when they had just bought the boxes in and had too much postage on and i basically said "not my problem,the box came pre stamped and all i have to do is return the sample I like so they can process my order."

    ive not been challenged since.

    Good answer, I have my first box to post on Monday and was thinking what I could say if they ask :D

    I've just got an email inviting me to join the survey, and I followed the link to accept.

    What happens now? There was no automatic response email to my acceptance so a bit in the dark.

    You'll get another email with your start date in a wee bit.

    (or I did)

    Thanks!

    I know I didn't give it much time but just wanted to know, lol. Came out of the blue as well.
  • Does anyone happen to know what the criteria are for being entered into the daily draw? Do you just need to log in, or do you need to 'tick off' each of the daily tasks, even if there isn't actually anything to do?

    The list of winners seems longer today - have they increased the number of prizes again?

    You just have to be a member - I don't think they need you to tick off all the tasks! I don't check it when I don't need to and I've won twice. You don't need to log in to check whether you've won cos they email to let you know.

    There was a message on the front page yesterday that said they couldn't do the draw for some reason so they just did a double one today.

    I believe you do have to be "up to date" with tasks. That doesn't mean getting ticks against everything when there is nothing to record but you shouldn't win if you hadn't entered postings or receipts in a timely fashion.

    Is it just me or are they starting to take the mick a bit? I've been doing RM surveys for years now, and remember the day when I used to send 1-4 items a week and receive maybe 4 or 5 items a week.

    Now, my sender packs have up to 7/8 items! I have also been instructed to send items both in the morning and afternoon of the same days.

    and this morning alone I received 5 test items, yesterday it was 4. I'm receiving almost 5 times as much test mail as regular mail, my postie must know something is up.

    A bit too much of my time for a couple of books of stamps a month. After so many years with them, I'm now considering dropping out.

    I find it goes in cycles. A while back I was getting and sending lots, including 3 on one day at 3 different times. It's now tailed off again, I've hardly received and and only 3 to post. It's just swings and roundabouts.
    I did get an email asking how many boxes I'd be prepared to send, so it looks like we might be getting more of those - I think I said every couple of weeks.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
