    Just received my posting pack for the week after next and I have 3 parcels to post on the same day, one before 10 am , one between 10 am - 1 pm and one after 1 pm!! They must think I live next to the Post Office :) none of them will fit in the postbox outside so imagine if I would do this I'll look like a total prat going 3 times in the same day!

    3 visits with a parcel each time? :eek: The incentives are too low to make that worthwhile. I would do it all in one trip. 3 parcels in one day is bad enough but 3 different time slots is a joke.
    I get slightly annoyed when i see a Saturday posting on my posting schedule but that doesn't even compare. :)

    Just post them all at the same time when you are passing the box, that's what I do, they all get posted at 4 when I go to work.

    That's what I'm going to do, take them all in one go!

    Hi

    That's what I do: a lot of my stuff gets posted at 6.00 am or 6:20am if it's the Post Office.

    Who's got the time to make more than one trip? The times on the Post Plan are often ridiculous.

    At my local sub PO, there are 2 collections during the day but I was told that they do not get dealt with at the local sorting office until after the 2nd collection! So much for being given time slots to post.

    I don't worry about the time slots - posting on the correct day of the week is way more important, all my items for the day get posted at whatever time is convenient to me. TNS actually told me it was fine to post at a convenient time so long as it is before last collection for that day.


    I got a phone call from TNS yesterday about the Unaddressed Mail survey - I'm currently just finishing a three week stint. They asked me if I would like to be on their permanent panel for unaddressed mail and continue with it until further notice - I said "yes" of course, its ridiculously easy as I only usually receive the pictured leaflets, anything else is rare :D

    Lucky you - that's much less hassle than doing the actual postal survey.

    That's brilliant.:)

    I'm also on the third week of my Unaddressed Mail survey. So far, received two of the same leaflet. (didn't receive the first one). Hope to receive the last one next week.
