Royal Mail Surveys rewarded with Stamps.

I have been looking at the faq on the website and was surprised to see that you can opt to have payment quarterly by Western Union bank transfer instead of stamps.


Has anyone tried this method? Would be interesting to know how they calculate the incentive and how well it works. Not sure I would trust them to make the correct payment!

I wonder how long that has been there.

I might send them an email to ask about it because I'm not using the stamps at anything like the rate I'm receiving them.

(Still, I don't believe everything they write - eg "Your online posting plan will instruct you whether the item should be posted in a PostBox or at a Post Office." when the online schedule says nothing about posting point.)

Well I've just had the email to say I'm going to be rested soon. Get ready for an influx of smarts into circulation everyone as they've been sending me tonnes over Christmas so I've now got about 14 in my stock list, I think I might dread my last few posting packs lol

Latest posting pack has a large foil envelope and large SAE for return of Smarts, so plenty of capacity for return of your Smarts.

Just got this email from Kantar:


Dear Panellist,

Happy New Year! We are making some changes to the measurement in 2014 which will mean different items, more panellists and new incentives.

While we're implementing these changes, we'd like to ask for your help.

Over the past few months, you have proven to be an excellent panellist, posting and logging receipt of the items we've allocated to you, responding to queries and generally getting on with things.

Thank you.

As you know, we usually only require panellists to participate for 6 months at a time and you will have begun your rest period or you are due to begin it shortly.

However, in light of the changes mentioned above, we would like to ask, if necessary, if you would be happy to participate for a few months more?

If so, please click on the link below which will take you to a yes / no questionnaire where you can accept our invitation to stay on the panel for longer.

We will then let you know whether or not we will need to extend your survey period, depending on the level of response in your area.

If you would prefer your well-deserved rest, that is completely fine. Please click on the link and decline the invitation and there will be no change to your survey participation.

Thank you,

Royal Mail Project Team


So, they want me back even though I've only been rested for a month or so, I said yes (the questionnaire is literally one question) as I sent a lot of parcels at Christmas so I'm running out of stamps

I can't get in at the moment to check as I am on re-training but I thought that if you selected the more detailed info. for posting that the information about where to post was shown

Just curious , when you prepare your mailings do you place the smart inside the folded paper or just pop it in the envelope?

I always put it inside the folded paper but the letter I received today had the smart put in after the paper, on the opening side and the (white) envelope had opened at the perforation bit causing the smart to be showing

I had the same e-mail and have only been rested since December.
There I was thinking I was unique

I double-checked before writing - Advanced extends the rows to show the suggested time, not the posting point.

The faq on website says


What is a Door-Stepped item and how do I recognise it?
A Door-Stepped Item is an item that was left outside your premises by Royal Mail without prior arrangement with Royal Mail.
An item is not a Door-Stepped item when it was personally handed to you by your Postman, left with a neighbour or left on your door step by prior arrangement with Royal Mail.
Any items received with the following instructions on the label are permitted to be left outside providing they are left out of sight and somewhere sheltered from the weather. If these requirements have not been met, then the items are to be recorded as Doorstepped.

I just thought I'd point out that this wasn't a case of the parcel being left next door because there was no answer here. The neighbour I mentioned is about a 5 minute walk away, in a different postcode, but with a very similar address (same number, but Road instead of Street.)
Parcels from this company are typically delivered by a man in his car, who I think works through Yodel, and we all know how terrible Yodel are, so I'm not sure it'd make any difference being able to log it anyway.

Parcels delivered by Yodel (or DHL etc) would not be counted as correctly or incorrectly delivered. You are reporting solely the Royal Mail deliveries for the Correctly Delivered survey.

(You do count other deliveries when participating in the D2D unaddressed survey.)
