I signed up for this a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet and have no idea what to do. Do I just wait for something to arrive in the post or what?

They will contact you if/when they have a vacancy in your postcode area but it could be a long wait.

I haven't checked what appears on those sent by business senders (those which would have been franked) but from private posters the slip which has the R number on also shows your postcode, size of envelope or cube, handwritten or typed label, and the postage value.

It had a small 1st on - can't be for sure what came up but it definitely said it wasn't supposed to have a stamp on

Seeing the info on the R number sheet of the cube I received is what first made me realise that the sender should have used an APL, this was confirmed by the online system. The postage for first class small parcel is £3.35, they stuck six first class stamps on which figures out at a value of £3.84. So it was obviously done by the sender and not the Post Office employee.....Naughty naughty!!

I doubt they'll even hear from TNS about it and they'll probably still receive the £2 L2S incentive/thank you vouchers instead of a slap on the wrists for pocketing the APL money and using the free stamps we all get each month! �� Lol!!

However the large envelopes are usually pre-stamped with large 1st class stamps and don't require more postage than that.

Hi G.G,
The sticker on the business panellist R number sheet has the same type of details as the private panellist ones do (post code, postage value etc.). Maybe somewhat less detailed as the private panellists ones though. I get the odd business one with envelope size, window insert or solid/sticker info too.
Happy posting peeps!

Please can anyone advise....when recording the receipt of a large envelope which has been folded in two, but otherwise is in perfect condition, should I record the condition of the envelope as 'folded' or as 'undamaged'?

The fold has not been made by the postman to get it through my letterbox, it has been folded to put it into the envelope going to the panellist who forwarded it onto me. It was folded before it started its 'test journey' - so to my mind it has arrived undamaged, but strictly speaking, it has been folded. I hope that makes sense. /

I always record them as undamaged as they arrive that way with the sending panellist.

This was discussed a while ago and it was suggested that panellists insert the sheet of paper in such a way that a new fold would be detectable by the receiver.

Thanks to both for replies.

Was that instructions from TNS or just from discussion on here?

Do TNS automatically send SMARTS when you are low, or do you have to always request them?

Is there any way you can check if you are due to receive any in the post sent to you by the panellists?

I only have one SMART in stock, however I don't need any for at least another week as I have my posting schedule sorted for next week.

TNS don't automatically send SMARTs, they usually arrive through other panellists' postings.


As far as I know, there isn't any way to check what you are due to receive from others.


During the week you will probably receive plenty of SMARTs which you can use. If not, either phone or email TNS and they will send some out.
