    They go into MOST postboxes, Avoid the little ones set into walls/ attached to lampposts etc. though.

    If it doesn't fit in one it's worth trying another one locally as there are many different models of postboxes about with slightly different sized openings give it a good push through if it's tight to save you having to queue.

    Have TNS increased the contents of jiffy bags or are people overfilling them? I've received 2 now that look as though someones collected all the bits of cardboard/paper then crammed as much in as possible but haven't had any to send for a while so not sure if it's the doing of TNS or panelists....

    Damio, I sent a jiffy bag today. It contained several sheets or plain white paper and the one for the R number. Folded up cardboard and a smart.

    This all comes in the envelope to send so I leave it all in when posting and just add the smart required from my stock.
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    That's what I've always done, recently I've received 2 items from other panelists with around 8 pieces of cardboard and 30-40 sheets of paper as though someones been saving all the ones they receive and cramming in as much as possible

    I get a nursing one too, goes straight in the recycling bin after I've logged the details!

    I must be so lucky having received the Catholic Times in the past and a gardening magazine, I have recently been receiving Harper's Bazaar, Good Houskeeping and a motoring magazine. Goodness know what the postman must think of my reading habits:)

    i continued receiving Building magazine even after leaving the panel two or three years ago!
    so after 10-15 emails to Building customer support finally they have stopped coming to me.
    Also, my other account has been freeeeeed (after 2 years), so i am upset about missing stamps and lovely post every other day. i love recording and posting them

    Over the past 6 months I've had Top Gear magazine, dentist weekly, estates gazette and the nursing/old people magazines! Luckily my kids subscribe to Match of the day magazine and Jacqueline Wilson mag so I don't look so much of a freak lol

    I was released from training a few weeks ago and today received my first magazine - The Great Outdoors, which looks to be a hiking magazine. Not too unwelcome really.

    I don't, however, have any idea how to input it into the system. I have searched the website as best I can, but all I can find is a line on the news page that says to refer to "Subscription magazines and letters" for advice on what to do when you receive one of these, and I can't find that. Help please! (And sorry because I know this has been mentioned several times before, but searching this 110 page topic is just as impossible!)

    Go to input the item as normal but check 'item does not have an r number' & it will give you the option to check what you have received
    - Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted
    - Student Loan gone
    Swagbucks, Mingle, GiffGaff, Prolific, Qmee & Quidco; thank you MSE every little bit helps

    Thank you! It asked if it said Spring 2014 on it, but it said June 2014 instead. I chose yes cos it is the current issue and I assumed Spring was just an old way (they also had a different price in the image), but should I have said no?
