    I was resting, then I was back in training, then they told me I was on hold again, then a day later I was reinstated on the panel.

    They sent me nothing to post then this morning I log on and notice that I've got something to post next week as well as being on the correctly delivered survey.

    They are doing a great job at confusing me! :cool:

    I would look on that as lucky...at least you hopfully get all the awkward posting for your stint out in one week...far better than having it spread over a long period of time IMO...

    That is a good point, i'm one of the few that the boxes aren't that much extra hassle for as i'm in the post office most days with eBay items regardless and now i have a "Drop&Go" card i simply throw everything into a mail sack walk straight to the fastdrop counter hand it over and they apply APL labels to everything taking the cash off my pre-paid drop and go card, no queuing are anything so really quite convenient.

    I have to send a cube next week.


    I received one last week, with stamp but not postmarked or machine markings. Just wondering whether to reuse it next week and save myself the hassle of making up the cube.


    What do you think?

    That's fraud, however if its unmarked then its highly unlikely you will get caught.... still its down to you

    Just noticed on the News&features TNS have decided to inform us that the cost of sending a first class letter is "1st class"....... last i checked that was a service not a price???

    Posted the CD box today and sure enough, it didn't go through the postbox slot - it was too thick AND too wide - had to take it to the post office and put it in the parcels sack.

    Only been on the panel a few weeks and I'm getting sick of it already tbh.

    What has happened to the training has it been shortened?

    Last year I has letters to post back 7 out of 8 weeks. This year is as follows,

    Week 1, 2 to post
    Week 2, 2 to post
    Week 3, Nothing
    Week 4, 2 to post
    Week 5, Nothing
    Week 6, Nothing
    Week 7 w/c 7th April, 5 proper items.


    Glad you posted this. I've had 2 items for weeks 1 and two, nothing for week 3, so far nothing for week 4. I was wondering if they'd taken me off again without telling me.
    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.

    Just a query as I am now back on the training posts to
    west Bromwich, this is my first week and I have been
    asked to include smarts, but so far I have one for todays
    letter but none for tomorrows
    Should I keep it to next week as we used to do and wait
    for a smart or just send it without one inside
    Both the smarts I am supposed to send out have the same
    code on too, so I wonder if it is a mistake on their side
    Cheers for you very helpful advice on this site it is much
    easier than a phone call to them.

    Hi

    I'm retraining and the SMARTS are all the same. If the SMART doesn't turn up tomorrow, post the same day next week.

    these are the parcels they are giving us £2 extra vouchers for and have to be taking into and handed over at the po counter

    I thought that was for the cubes? Either way, the posting instructions clearly said 'post box' not post office. I've emailed TNS to point out to them that's impossible.
