Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

skintpaul

just had an email, saying my log for 'sending' items are being suspended for 2 weeks, as system 'over subscribed' at present?

Still want me to log stuff received, though..?

PS- Has everyone had £3.30 stamps pre-affixed to their test packets? well more than needed.. odd.

Nothing odd at all. The packets come with a cardboard insert to go in the jiffy bags to ensure that they are too thick to be treated as a large letter but should be sent as a small parcel (£3.30 First Class). It isn't unusual for "helpful" counter staff to try and squash it down to fit the large letter template but they want it to go at Parcel rate and stamp the envelopes accordingly.

I've been in since January (now 6 months) and I'm still going! Is that unusual then??

I started at the start of December and have only just been rested so I suspect you'll be rested in a couple of weeks!

They'll want you to log stuff you receive still as they would have already sent out schedules to other people with things to send to you. The same thing happens when you get rested after 6 months - you'll still get things through the post to log for a couple of weeks after you stop posting stuff.

I couldnt believe my eyes this morning... i received a dvd box in the post... but, it was still folded, as new, along with the polystyrene insert.... packed inside a re-used grey plastic mailbag with the senders name and address visible under the white label stuck on the front (that should have been on the dvd box before posting) and bound with ducktape !! i entered the info online as receiving a dvd box but should i mention it at all in an email to them, or just leave it as it is? what would you do?

Definately send them an email to report how it arrived. Luckily it sounds like it hasn't compromised your info so you shouldn't be taken off the panel but the sender needs to be if they can't follow simple instructions!

I think i shall email them, i was concerned that they may think my identity has been compromised but there was no other indication that it was a test item inside... i shall make that clear in my message!

im in notts and I have been rested for last 3 months due to being over subscribed I was only on the panel for 5 weeks

I did a 6 month stint last year and then was rested. I have started retraining twice and each time I have been rested before posting in the 2nd training week due to being over subscribed.

The one advantage is that I have received two books of stamps each time I re-started.
