Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Moved house a while ago, reregistered for panel and finished 2 months of training.

In my first 3 weeks of being a proper panelist, all but one of the 12 items I've had are within 1 mile from my house. Today I walked past the address of the recipient on my way to the post office!!

Also, there are at least 3 panelists living in the same building near to me...

Is this usual?

The panelists are random...yes I do post things to people who live locally....Ive posted to someone who I vaguely know and
in the past posted something to a brother of a friend...that was strange and also to an address that my sister once lived at.


But all information about fellow panellists must be kept secret so no introducing yourself as a "fellow friend of TNS "i'm afraid....

except for business mail you won't know who the sender is anyway, so it doesn't really matter

Thank you, i had a phone call on friday, the lady asked me if i had any spare smarts, i said i had two, she said make sure you return them?

That's where i am confused?

Thanks

Are you sure they are spare smarts eg ones that are NOT showing on your list

Usually smarts that they have been asked to be returned are turned Red ..


any that are showing on your list have usually been allocated for mail to be posted that week or next

i would say unusual to have so many in same postcode area
i have only ever posted to one address 5 minutes away from me in the 3 1/2 yrs i have been on this panel

It feels like I've never been away...

Seriously when I first started on the panel over 4 years ago it was really good but they do seem to have going downhill rapidly. Seems to have really happened after they brought in the periods of rest which added more work for their staff.

I've completed two periods of posting and receiving, and just now 'resting'. Have to say that I have experienced hardly any problems at all while doing the study. Everything has gone according to schedule. Difficult to believe all the problems that new members of the panel seem to be experiencing at present.
