    I read in the training manual they do supply tape for the boxes that have to be sent out

    I read that too but never got one! Good to hear they're actually doing it now.

    The roll of sellotape is sent out periodically....I think it might be twice a year....the purpose of it is to secure the boxes that you might need to send although in practice parcel tape is a far better option.

    They started sending it a couple of years ago in response to panelists who reported receiving boxes that were far from secure or even just folded in on themselves to close them....

    I've currently got 2 full rolls and a partial roll that I've been sent over the past couple of years whilst active on the panel...cant see me ever running out of sellotape again.

    I've just passed the 6 month mark and haven't been sent any tape. Am currently using up the grungey ones I've had in the back of the cupboard for ages.

    One thing I wish they'd incorporate is an 'extra info' box on their forms. Today I'll have to tick 'no, item not posted' and keep it till next week, but it wasn't for lack of trying! I walked to a postbox I hadn't used yet because my local one has its daily collection at 9am. That one also collects at 9am, but there was a notice suggesting I might like to walk yet another 15 minutes out of my way to one that collects at 4pm! Gah.

    .

    I am sure if you send an email requesting some sellotape they will put a roll in the post to you.

    Can someone please remind me what you get when your 6-month stint ends. I seem to remember, it was a presentation pack, 24 1st class stamps and 8 large letter stamps but I am not sure ?


    Thanks.
    I just got my final posting pack today and it had 2 books of 1st class stamps, 2 books of large letter stamps and a presentation pack. I got the same at the end of my last six month stint as well. Hope that helps :)
