    It seems to be random who gets magazines. I have been on the panel around 4 years and not had a single one.

    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?

    You should have said no. You should only answer yes if the image AND issue (spring in this instance) matches. The images are scans of the same mailing you should have received.

    Thank you. I will know for future. Shame you can't edit once you've inputed the details.

    Edit: And the future is now?? I've just received July's edition of Cosmopolitan. It has an "exclusive subscriber cover" but I sure didn't subscribe to it. The address includes my village though, which is something I noticed is missed off correspondence from the survey, though I signed up so long ago I don't know if I actually didn't give it or if they just don't typically include it. The magazine's not showing up on my account but it does say it can take a while for them to show up. Is Cosmo something people have received through this, or is this a mystery mailing?!

    Is there a button on your survey homepage which allows you to check if the item is a test item? This button has been on my homepage for quite a while but I haven't needed to use it. If it is there try using it to see if it sheds any light on the matter.

    Remember not to post the names of mailings you are receiving.... The details of items your are sending / receiving are supposed to be secret.

    Received what should have been a DVD item today but the sender didn't bother to make up the box properly. They just put the foam pad, Smart and form into the cardboard and sealed over. You could see the foam at each end and it was lucky it didn't all fall out from either end.


    As the R.... slip actually says CD/DVD box on it, wouldn't you think that they would realise it needed to be put together?


    I do wonder about the intelligence of some of the members doing the survey.

    I wonder if it's from the same dimwit that did exactly the same to me the other week.
