Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Krystaltips

I received a DVD box this week that I got red carded for. When I got home I realised there was no postage at all on it. Paper inside said it should have been metered. Glad they didn't charge me for it at the post office, but interesting that it slipped through when the lady in the line before me was paying £1.11 because someone hadn't used a large letter stamp.

I have just been put back on the mailing list but have
not had my posting pack yet
Last time I was on it the cubes where you had to pay
postage had not started, so do you have to put stamps
on them or does it have to be a post office pre paid
sticker that the post office put on for you?
Just wondered if you had any stamps yourself could you
just stick them on and hand it over
Thanks for all the useful advice on this site

I believe someone mentioned the £2 vouchers were backdated to the beginning of the year, so if you'd already posted an oversized item you received them, even if it was pre-paid.

Good old TNS, as organised as ever. 2 weeks training followed by the oversubscribed email, followed a couple of weeks later by a posting pack and phone call to check I knew what I was doing.
It's not me who's the one that needs checking.
I do have a problem with the cubes though. They want it posting in the morning but I have to be at work before the post office opens. Wasn't a problem before as I could chuck letters in the box outside the post office on the way past. Do you think could I get away with posting them later in the day?

It has to be a APL label the post office stick on if they want it by APL. Although, that is not always possible due to technical problems with the assistants printer, so sometimes the post office may stick stamps on it themselves.

I have always posted at a time that is best for me. I never bother to look at their timings and they have not said anything in over 3 years about it. I just log the time I posted it.

Hello
How long does it take from being accepted via the questionnaire to actually starting and is there a link to the rewards?
Thanks

It can take anything from 1 week to being asked to join to many years. It just depends if they require anyone in your area. Although with the 6 month rotation is will likely be anything up to 6 months before you are asked to join.

With regards to rewards in our packs on a monthly basis we receive 4 large letter stamps and 12 letter stamps (all first class). We do get invited to other bits and bobs and get a £5 voucher for our time.

The latest cube I have to post already has the stamps on it to cover postage so I just need to hand it in to get it in the system.

Yes, that is right there are some already stamped, which say stamped on the system and then some that say APL.

It says in the guidelines that if you can't post it at the correct time, some other time on the same day is OK>
