    I'm still in my training period - I've got my next two items to send on Monday & Tuesday.


    I'm going on holiday in March, so I put my holiday dates in a couple of days ago.


    Today I've had an email saying they are over subscribed and my participation has been halted for a few weeks.


    I don't know if they've done that as I'm going on holiday, but I feel a bit frustrated as I've been ultra-careful to do everything properly and in a timely fashion.


    :mad:

    They do this quite regularly, so it is unlikely to be anything that you have or haven't done. When I started I had holidays booked well in advance, but they didn't take any notice and I had quite a bit of catching up to do on my return.

    Don't worry about it, they will probably have you back on the survey before too long.

    When I was in training, I entered my holiday details and also got e-mailed saying they are over subscribed. 3 days after this they e-mailed me again welcoming me back to the survey and said they'll send something out on the week commencing xx/01 which was my holiday week lol. I gave them 7 weeks notice but looks like they don't even look at it.
  • Ive had an invite to rejoin the panel for my third stint. My last one ended in November so i havnt been rested for 6 months this time. I dont feel as excited as i used to, but the stamps sure do come in handy to send my parcels abroad. I shall hope the training period is over quickly :)

    That's re-assuring - I thought I'd done something wrong:rotfl:

    Although they don't seem to be well organised!

    Just wondering if anyone else is getting a 'Server Application Unavailable' message when they go to the TNS website?
