  • I'm currently on the Unaddressed Mail survey (until 1st March) but this week's drop down boxes haven't appeared. The rest of the site seems okay for me. Anyone else having the same problem?

    Well I emailed them and it seems they decided I only needed to do 2 weeks on that survey so as I've done them I can now throw the items I was keeping into the recycling bin.

    I had only just received my Christmas 2014 presentation stamps less than a month ago and have now just recieved a set of Mother's/Father's day presentation stamps today! Nice surprise. :)

    Edit: I received the 4 large letter stamps with them but not the 12 1st class stamps.

    I got my March incentive stamps through today and like Hollie found that the 12 1st Class stamps are the 2015 Smilies stamps. A very attractive set of stamps that can (and will) be used on appropriate cards throughout the year.

    Well thats me had an email to say I've come to the end of my 6 months but in 6 months time I may be asked to join the panel again if required. Do most people get asked to join again? I'm quite sad as I had got into the hang of doing it and like the stamps reward :(
    Massive thanks to all who contribute on the MSE forums, especially on grabbit and competition boards

    I'm starting my 4th six month stint in March - I've been asked back every time around 4-6 months after I finished a 6 month stint. I like having the six months off personally, its nice to have a break :)

    On 4th February I received this message,

    "Welcome to the Royal Mail Survey.

    We have now registered your details to our live posting panel and you will receive your first Sender Pack in the week commencing 09/02/2015

    You will receive an email to notify when your first pack is being prepared and despatched."

    however I still have not received the sender pack and when I log in online I am not supposed to be on the panel this week or next week. :eek: :rotfl:


    I received my first posting pack on Thursday, 19th February,and I will be participating in the live posting panel during the week commencing Monday 2nd March.

    Hmmm - I was wondering what Hollie meant - I just got standard reds. Maybe it depends on what came to hand when they made the packs up.
    I need to think of something new here...
  • I had to send a cube today and the piece of paper said that I must not say what is inside and only to say ''There are no prohibited items in the parcel''... WELL, I just had a massive argument with the woman behind the counter at the Post Office. She demanded I told her what was inside. I said there are no prohibited items in it and she said ''It is not coming over this counter until you tell me what is inside''. I just said ''Ok, its cardboard'' and she said ''what'' and I repeated myself and she said OK. She gave me a shifty look and said ''Its very light'' and I said ''I know, its cardboard.''

    Anyway, she took the item but was very very weird with me. She can't open it can she? Because she looked like she didn't believe me whatsoever.

    What does everyone else say when asked what is inside your parcels?

    I just say it's some samples of wool or cotton!
