    When i check on my tasks, it is highlighted in red to return 2 smarts. However i only have 1 of those smarts and i do not have the other. Does this happen often and what is the best thing to do ? Thanks in advance.

    Return the one you have, and send a email to TNS and let them know you dont have the other (whether mislaid or perhaps you put it into a letter that was sent as part of the survey? I know I've done this before myself!)

    They can then remove it from the log on the site from their end.

    I'm doing this starting 30th june but i have'nt received plastic envelopes to send all the leaflets, etc. back in.:(

    The last time I was on the unaddressed survey the envelopes didn't arrive until the Tuesday of the first week. Luckily I hadn't received anything on the Monday.

    They only ask a small amount of those taking part to return the items. I seem to recall that I have seen 40% mentioned somewhere.

    400 out of 1800 are required to send on items in the unaddressed survey. Just keep your items to one side for a week or two.
    Please do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed. ;)

    When you're handing parcels over at the post office counter and the staff are asking what's in them, as they're no supposed to, what are you saying? I had a DVD sized one today and said it was a DVD and the lady commented on how light the package was (as it was obviously only foam) I just nodded along and she didn't ask anything else. Just thinking one of these days they're going to tell I'm fibbing lol

    Hi

    I said it's a foam sample. They think I said phone as they asked about a charger:rotfl::rotfl:. Just say contains foam.

    I had the same conversation in my post office - now just waiting for the knowing looks the next time I go in. It didn't help that I was spotted trying to lurk unobtrusively to find the displayed last acceptance times as I didn't want to ask after the foam conversation. They now think I'm a complete nutter.
    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.

    Hi

    When I asked about the last acceptance times, the post guy said 7pm but they are posted the following day. Seems it's the same as on the post box (5:20 if handed in at the counter) 5:30pm.

    According to the displayed notice in the post office which I did eventually find, the last acceptance time is 5.20 pm, but the time on the post box outside is 6.30 pm. Perhaps I do need to ask to double check.

    generally the boxes outside the PO get a final collection along with the PO.
    However its not unknown for the boxes to get a later collection, if a driver passes them anyway.
