Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

I had the same problem. I didnt know if it was a test item until i collected it and paid the required postage. As it turned out to be a test item, i took a photograph of the red card, the envelope showing details and of the contents and i emailed it to the survey system with a covering letter. i got a letter of apology from them, reimbursement in stamps, and an extra pack of stamps as a good will gesture.:)

Just back on the mail panel again and wonder how everyone is getting round the boxes with polysterine in now
The post office used to accept when I said samples inside but
now they are light as a feather and not sure what to say is inside
the box now
Would be interested to know what you all say when asked

Its packaging samples...thats what I said last time I was asked...it caused a quizzical look but I didnt elaborate any further,just returned the look and the parcel was taken from me.

I do agree it was much easier with the foam as that just used to be passed off as "cushion padding samples"...and I also agree the polystyrene is much lighter in weight.

you could say that its packing samples

I have been saying it's craft items, thought that sounded possible with it being light

Nudge

Thank you for the replies and good answers I will just continue with saying samples but craft samples sounds good too
Some did not ask but some will
So thank you

I used the line that it was a sample cardboard box so couldn't be crushed last time I had to post a medium parcel.

Although having to pay over the £5.65 hurt me as I knew that if it was something I was personally sending I'd be next door handing in to the MyHermes shop for a fraction of the price!
