I think one of the 'large' incentive stamps they sent should be enough, if not already stamped?

You shouldn't need to use your own money, to post any stuff on this scheme!

Yes you do, you have to spend money on an Automated Postage Label for some parcels, for which you are reimbursed in Love to Shop vouchers.

There's clearly a lot of people on the panel who aren't reading the 'training and guideines' on the website.

If you are going to offer advice,then make sure it is correct.
Hint,your advice isn't.

I must have mis-read the info I got, then..

It mentions sending users love2shop vouchers, IN ADVANCE, to cover the cost of buying APL (Automated Postage Labels), for parcel type items..

(as well as a £2 'extra incentive', the following week).

If you have 2 items to post same day but on different times ie before midday and after midday and your local post boxes last collection is 9am what would you do.

Post one at 11:55am and one at 12:05pm. Sorted.

I would post both before 9am as the day is more important than the time, but I would also investigate other post boxes in my area to see if they had different posting times(Some within a 10m minute walk differ between 9am collection and 4pm collection, so it may be that another post box very near a different final collection time.

That is making assumptions regarding the reason why the survey explicitly asks you to post in a specific time slot.

It may well be just incompetence as you seem to believe but what if they are trying to gauge if collections are made later than they should? For example to see if a box that should be collected in the morning is only emptied late in the afternoon. By posting both before 9am they cannot gather this information.

If you are going to take doing the survey seriously then you shouldn't second guess why they are asking you to post at specific time slots and just do what they asked. If they explicitly wanted you to post "before 9am" they would have told you to post both "Before Final Collection"as that is one of the options they have available to them.

It's definitely a lot harder to do the survey now than when I last did it a few years ago. The majority of my local postboxes have much earlier last collection times and some are now 9am.
