Ain't received my 2017 diary yet so sent a polite reminder to TNS.

Yeah received 2017 calendar already here.

Has anybody received their Christmas stamps yet? I thought they normally come with the diary but I haven't had anything yet. Maybe I am thinking about Christmas a bit too early and they will come in a few weeks?

My local postbox has its last collection at 9am in the morning. (The term 'last' being redundant as that's its only collection.)

If I have something to post after midday today (will probably post about 4pm) and something else to post before final collection at 9am tomorrow, is there any harm in posting them together knowing that they'll get collected together tomorrow morning anyway? It seems like a waste of time to make a special trip only to add to what I already posted the day before. Local postbox is still a 10 minute walk away.

Technically, I could get there at 10 seconds to midnight to post one, wait another 15 seconds and post the other, and would have met their conditions!

Do you mean the usual books of twelve 1st class and four 1st class large letter stamps? I received my December incentive three days ago. They arrived separately to my diary.

I thought when it comes to boxes that have a last posting time earlier than midday you have to ignore the fact they are asking you to post after midday. The most important part is to post on the date they say not the time, so if your schedule says post on the 22nd you need to make sure it's in the box before 9am, which means posting it earlier than 9am on the 22nd or after 9am the day before.

I'm sure this has been covered on here before, but can't remember when (head like a sieve). It might be worth double checking with TNS just in case

How do you know the box wont be cleared after 4pm?

I confirmed this with TNS quite a while ago - items should always be posted before last collection, disregard before/after midday if this does not fit with last collection. I post my items when its convenient for me on the correct day, I've never paid any attention to whether it should be morning or afternoon and TNS are clearly fine with that as I've been on the panel for 4 years now

”Yes, I can confim this - I had been carefully posting my items at 12.05 (after final posting time of 12noon ; TNS phoned me to ask what was going on as they were still being collected that day so I explained that, being a rural area, the postman often got stuck behind tractors and so things actually got collected after the official time. TNS told me just to post before last collection time and ignire any 'after 12pm instructions'.

TNS have told me that I will get my diary within a few days.

I will wait a few days for the Xmas stamps. If I don't receive them, I will escalate politely to TNS.
