Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

Just checking (and I think this might be a daft question - so apologies), but the royal mint stamps - can they be used as normal stamps?

When the small boxes have to be handed over at the Post Office, are you ever asked what's in the box? It's only the second time I've had a box to hand over, but I was slightly thrown when asked this, particularly when the girl behind the counter said they wouldn't be able to post it unless they knew what was in the box. I made up something about it being a small ornament. I've sold plenty of stuff on ebay, but I've never been asked what was in the packages before.

have a look at page 33 post 655 onwards to about post 661 on this thread...theres a similar question answered...it will save everyone typing it all again...and there is an official answer from the postal panel too in the final post number 661

Thanks for that LEJC. I haven't had time to keep up with all the posts on this thread lately so I missed that.

I've received four items this week, and they've queried the dates on three of them. The rest of my post seems a little slow too (I only got next week's posting pack today) so I'm presuming there's a backlog and the local deliveries are going out a day late.

My local P/O are used to me posting paintings so I just say it's a painting.

Received quite a bit of mail this morning.

One of the letters has the postmark and someone has drawn an arrow pointing to the date, with a note saying it should have been sent the day before.

What's that about?

Hi

Sounds like someone posted the letter a day late. Just input the date on the postmark. Anyway, the SMART will confirm the details. What a waste of time.

Yes i got a lot of stamps too last week and i also am being asked what is in the package too, i have been on this for about a year now and really enjoy all the mail especially the magazines and the stamps have been useful over Christmas and for my eBay items too.
