    I had a cube to post two weeks ago but haven't had my incentive vouchers with this month's stamps which have just arrived. When can i expect them, or do I need to phone to say they're missing?
    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.

    When I posted a cube in March the incentive didn't arrive until the beginning of May, so I think you might have to wait another week or two yet.
  • Not really.

    At least it means that the parcel would be returned to that address (if it is genuine) if it didn't reach you - and thus your address would not be compromised by RM having to open the jiffy to see if an address was inside.

    As 3010 says, the sender may have been instructed to put their name and address on the back by the Post Office. After all, it is the correct thing to do if you are sending "real life" mail.
    Theres no need to queue at the post office counter to send an allready stamped jiffy bag tho?? when instructed to send jiffy bags at the post office i always pop them in the box either inside the postoffice or the one situated outside, as instructed.

    I'm currently completing a 3 week unaddressed mail survey, but haven't been asked to return the items.

    As not asked to return items, presuming that I can bin when entered?
    I believe some panelists used to recieve a wallet to return the items in, but ive been doing this survey for a while now and have never had to return anything. TNS suggest you keep the items for 10 days and if not asked to return them in that time then throw them away :)

    True. If something already has postage applied, you need only queue if it is nevertheless too big to go in the box.

    [However your original post (#2152) didn't say anything about the payment method of the jiffy bag with the sender's name and address on the back.]

    This is my third stint on the unaddressed survey. First time I was asked to send the items to TNS, second time they didn't ask for them, and this time I have been asked to send the items again.

    I am guessing that it is to allow TNS to double check the number of items that have been reported.

    Hi

    This week, i have received a magazine as part of the live panel 6 month survey. As it is about cars (i have no interest in cars),
    Pity you can't swap - I'd rather have had that than Property Week
    I need to think of something new here...

    When I was on the panel I used to receive big glossy mags about trucking. No wonder the postie used to give me funny looks ...!
  • I get a boxing magazine. Last week's came in a clear plastic mailing bag :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
