    The stamps are only given to those participating in the full survey where we post and receive items to and from other panellists. You are going to be doing the Unaddressed Mail survey which means you have to log things like leaflets that come through your door each week (anything that does not have an address on it) - this always lasts for three weeks and is paid with one £5 Love2Shop voucher. Its extremely easy and quick to do. Suggest you click on FAQS on the website, then click on Unaddressed Mail Survey, there are answers there to some common questions.

    OK Thanks - that does sound easy enough and quick to do :-)

    I have never heard of this 'initative' before. maybe they have lots of missing smarts they would like back.. i guess the battery life runs out so they become completely untraceable.. wish i had some to return, id quite like the 'reward' !
    Maybe the idea is to flush out the sort of people who might (like me) have a few old SMARTs knocking around from a while back - and then kick them off! :)

    Has anyone who's received a small box recently (or a smallish box that wasn't a survey item) noticed them arriving ridiculously damaged?

    I've received a small box today that was damaged almost beyond recognition... completely crushed with rips all over it and a very distinct Tyre print across it...then put in a "our sincere apologies" bag stating it was damaged in transit... 3RD item i've received this year they've had to bag up because its been so damaged


    Also very surprised that an email i sent at 23:06 last night was replied to before 10AM today! I'm used to it taking them weeks to reply and that's if i get a reply at all!

    Why would you keep Smarts? Do you have a special use for them or are they just souvenirs because of the lovely time you have taking part in the RM survey?!

    I haven't had problem with damage to the mail recently but have received only one small box (cube) so far this year. Perhaps it is a problem with your local delivery office.

    Regarding email replies - perhaps they are replying to the most recent first and your sending something late one day means it was near the top of the Inbox (when displayed in descending order as is usual). There is some sense in this.
  • I'm still on the training, and think they must be right out of the training smarts as the ones I received today are just cardboard with a sticker on...
    2013-Swag bucks £10 Qmee £2.17 App Trailers 1.23 not a huge amount but better than nothing
  • While I'm on the board i thought i'd ask.
    I have send a about 10 items, resiliently though ebay, and 4 have never been seen. What happens if some of the mail i send for tns gos to the land of the missing mail. Will i be booted off or will they contact me?

    They will ask you to confirm when and where you posted.

    No - those are the ones they use for training. They are not actual transponders.
  • I'v been receiving (as whats shown in the booklet received in my welcome kit) an old type smart with no battery in. but today it was just a bit of card with a sticker.

    Just thought id let people know in case they get the same and expecting a somewhat real looking one.
