    I don't record the envelopes as folded when I receive them from other panellists - its not fair on the postman, given it wasn't him who folded it.

    I only report it folded if the whole package is folded and not just the envelope. When I post them out I put the sticker over the fold so the receiver can tell that the postie didn't fold it.

    I'm curious. Is the item marked do not bend?

    From memory, the fold is too well creased (firmly done) when they come from TNS that there is no way the postie could have folded it like that
  • Hey Peeps!!
    I also stick the address label over the original crease from TNS, so the recipient can try and determine whether the envelope was re-folded in transit. Therefore I look out for the same details when I receive test items. Doing this obviously isn't fail safe but does help. If I can't determine 100% whether it is the original fold or a new one, I do not log it as "bent/folded" because as Saetana says, it's not fair on the postie.
    I did receive a large brown envelope today which was still stuck in the letter box bent length ways (in a curve rather than a creased fold.......if that makes sense!! 😕 ). I could actually tell 100% that it wasn't re-folded in transit width ways, but I logged it as bent due to it still being in the letter box that way.
    Decisions, decisions!! 😉
    Happy posting x

    I prepared a large brown envelope yesterday and put the sheet of paper inside the envelope the other way round so the fold wasn't the same as the envelope

    I also put the label across the fold and then I put it underneath the pile of envelopes for next week to try and flatten it a bit more.

    I'm due to finish my 6 month stint soon and have mixed feelings. I enjoy doing the survey but as I've been doing it for a whole year I feel like I could do with a few months off. I also do the correctly delivered survey so I'll carry on with that during my break.

    That made me chuckle...I was at the PO the other morning posting a cube...whilst clearly the postman was at my house trying to deliver a parcel...

    I picked up the parcel this morning....a cube

    There must be so many of them wafting their way round the postal system.

    I was due to finish next week after this 6 months stint & had received stamps and commemorative pack but received an email today saying they were short of panellists in my area and would I carry on. And I don't have to retrain!!!
    Anyone looking to join in RH19 might be welcomed if they apply now. Interesting though this postcode is not on the current list they have sent out.
