    So very true - my guess is that they'll soon be regretting the new policy, if they're not already, and switching back.

    Whatever advantages they saw must be being seriously outweighed by the inaccuracies and other problems. Pretty clear from some of the posts here that quite a few people signed up to this are struggling to understand pretty simple instructions.
    if they do them one at a time there should be no problems when sorting out the weeks posting schedule . i have also had frequent problems esp in the last two months than i had in the two years have done it ( away for a 6 months rest now ) might be back at christmas as a newbie again lol

    I don't mean to have a go at the newbies as we were all new once but the last week I've had quite a few mishaps.

    Final straw being the {naked} smart. It was brown and you can see the battery and wires etc. No outta plastic at all. I just don't get why anyway would strip it down like that! How did they manage to send it?? That really had me perplexed enough to post on here.

    I have emailed Kantar and sent it back with the letter and am sure they can finder the sender and retrain them.

    It really is easy. I always just do them the morning they need to be done or the night before or all at the start of the week then use the posting schedule to see when and where they need to be posted then leave them all in one place. Then I set up an alert on my phone that morning to remind me but I am so used to doing it I don't need reminding. It's all routine.

    I'm currently getting pigeon mags and health mags so when I am rested it will look most odd i'm sure but there we go.

    Still love doing this and hopefully making a difference. :T

    I think what everyone is seeing is the consequence of having so many "newbies" start at once rather than a new phenomenon. I can't remember a time when I didn't see people writing details on envelopes or mis-posting items: I've even had letters with post-it notes stuck to the back detailing that entire week's actions:eek:. The irony is, it is the innocent recipient, not the sender that gets kicked off the panel if it is reported.

    I have a theory that there has been a big change in "backroom" staff/procedures which may be causing some of the general issues we seem to be seeing more of. I certainly receive more odd emails from them than I used to, such as the one I received this week asking if I had posted out of my area. Well, no, I haven't. I'm sure of it. a) because I never do, and b) because I was "rested" in May!

    Come on people, it's not difficult: lose means to be unable to find, loose means not being fixed in place. So if you have a hole in your pocket you might lose your loose change.

    I've just received my posting pack for week commencing 16th July, but i've not had one for 9th July yet. Does this mean it's been lost or could it still turn up?
    Errrr...come back later ;)
