How long does the training last for? I've been doing it for 2 weeks and have a break this week coming up and have received my packages to post the following week (just awaiting the smarts).

Hi

It's about 7 weeks. I've got a break this week as well.:)

Although others are suggesting seven weeks for the training period, I had training items to send for only four weeks, then one week break and then supposedly starting on the main survey. The packages containing the items to post in the first 2 weeks of the main survey didn't arrive and are still showing on my account as being ready to prepare.

TNS are consistent with their inconsistency.

My first week item never arrived. I emailed them and they removed it.

If that question is, "Can you take it on holiday and send it from a post office there which you then register with TNS?"

The answer is that you can't - unless the two-day holiday were to be in the same post code area, which seems rather unlikely for the poster who asked about an Easter break booked by her OH.

Does the term "post code area" refer to, for example PO or PO16? First 2 or first 4 digits? I'm new to this so questions I'm asking are genuine, not just stupid.

Yeah it refers to the first to letters. Ie. I'm NE28 area but I can post to any postbox within the 'NE' area, if your not sure near boundaries the postbox will tell you.

You can post anywhere in PO. If you try to register a box that you can't post in the system will reject it.

Also been back on training for a few weeks and have had a break week as well. I have also had items that I couldn't post due to not having smarts. I just waited for the same day the following week before posting.

Now to top it off, they are asking me to post items next week, when I am on holiday and I advised them so several weeks ago. Never mind...I will just post them the week after assuming that I have got smarts.

As someone previously said...TNS are consistent with thier inconsistency lol !!:rotfl:

That's useful to know. I've never tried it, though.
