Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Just checked on the site and I'm rather shocked to find that they want me to post 7 items in total! As well as the cube I've got to do a CD/DVD box and various sizes of envelope. :eek:

I also had to post 7 items last week including 2 APL cubes! Only 4 items to post this week and 4 next though, but that includes another APL cube and 2 DVD boxes. I haven't been on the survey for very long so I'm not sure what's considered a "normal" week.

Having been off the survey for 2 years I was back on again. Then after 3 weeks I was off again. Now Im back on again in April. Meanwhile Ive done one correctly delivered survey. Guess it comes of being in large populated county. I thought you had to post in first 4 letters/numbers of your postcode not just letters

It's been the first letters only (which might just be one letter) for as long as I've been on the panel (about four to five years).

Hi

As stated by the previous poster, it's the first letter/letters that count. I live in E16 but my nearest Post Offices are in E13 and E6. The E16 Post Offices are a hasstle to get to. So I can post my stuff anywhere within the E1 to E20 areas if I wanted to.

I have had weeks with one item and weeks with 5 or 6 items - no pattern that I can see.


On the incoming side I have had weeks with 3 or 4 arriving and a fortnight with none arriving.


It is a pain for those who have to go out specifically to find a post office - I pass 2 on my way to work...

I thought we were only likely to have 1 x APL item a month! I've had two either side of a weekend but luckily they did at least fall into separate months but even one a month is a pain for me when working.

I can just about squeeze a dvd box into a normal post box but was a tight fit...

i have had 2 in 1 month..

and the rule of thumb is if it fits in post box. then use it. even if it suggests post office. just put box if it fits. as it doesn't matter where you post. as long as its in the same postcode area

When we input details of the time and date of the postmark, I'm a bit puzzled. How would everyone input 08.24pm?

I originally used the 24 hour clock and input 20.25 (rounding up the minutes) to reflect the fact that it was pm. I've just done one and I'm thinking I should ignore the pm and just use the numbers exactly as is.

Still not sure which is correct

You are correct in using the 24 hour clock & you have no option other than to enter the time to the nearest 5 min. period allowed.

Thanks for the quick answer. So, to clarify, postmarks don't use a 24hour clock? Just the am and pm?
