    They are not surveys as such, you have to send and receive post and record the details online - it's nothing like the good deal it was though - in the past nearly everything could be put in post boxes now there are items you have to go into a post office to send.
  • Ok so how do you end up getting stamps in this process - thanks all

    If you can get on the panel (some people wait years) it's your "payment/reward" for taking part - it was/is 12 x 1st class letter and 4 x 1st class large letter stamps a month.
  • I take part in this and the stamps are a nice perk but they do make you work for them!! My nearest post office closed down years ago so I am now regularly spending 45 mins of my lunch hour trekking to the PO to send stuff as I work full time office hours. Knew this before I signed up though so mustn't grumble! I am annoyed with them at the moment, the organisation that does it couldn't run an, ahem, party in a brewery!! :mad:

    I signed up for this and did the trial period, but I didn't realise how much work it was going to entail - I had too many other commitments on so I had to withdraw from it. As has been mentioned, it's fine if you're just posting letters in postboxes, but once it got to the stage of queueing in the post office for half an hour each time to post a parcel, I couldn't keep it up.
