Kantar - Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

daedal

I save the love to shop vouchers up, often use them in Wilkinsons when they have a sale on, get loads of things, I've never had a problem with any shop accepting them. I'm definitely not embarrassed by using them.

With regards to the level of work, I think it really depends, I've been doing it for years, some weeks I might get two items to post, other weeks none. So it's not that much for me. I think it really does depend on your area of the amount of work it involves.

I have about £200 worth of stamps and 5 presentation packs. Its nice to know the stamps will increase in value every time there is a price increase.

To be fair - the training period is in no way indicative of the amount of work involved once on the panel proper and there are certainly no parcels to post at this stage. As we all know, the number of weekly items to post can be anywhere between 2-8 and some people get far more items to send and receive than others. I'm getting a bit fed up of it myself, not sure its worth the amount of work involved anymore - I'm going to think carefully at the end of this stint whether I will bother next time they invite me.

I think it will be a no from me next time.
I live in a fairly small rural villiage & I am very sure it costs me more in a month than I get back in stamps.
I think it depends in part on where you live.
Also the cube thing can now get very awkward.

I'm really pleased to be back on the panel after my short time away. I use my stamps for ebay sales and save a fortune. I also use the presentation packs as everyday stamps as a) have had a pack go missing on an ebay sale and RM doesn't cover them b) cant believe people sell them for below face value on ebay - why when they can be used as ordinary stamps?

I have sold stamps below face value. I sold off what I deem to be surplus (as have way more than I can use even in a large number of years) Since I got them for free, any money I get for them is a 'bonus'. The buyers are also getting a bargain, so it's a win/win IMO

A good day for me panel-wise today. Woke up to an invitation to a correctly addressed survey (which was still available when I logged on). This was followed by an email this evening inviting me back on to the panel a bit ahead of schedule.

I sell my Large 1sts on eBay for exactly that reasoning. I use the plain 1sts for competition entries and the PP stamps for normal postage.

I've rethought it a couple of times - mostly I can drop stuff off when commuting, but cubes are becoming increasingly awkward. I used to be able to find POs that opened at 8am and closed at 6pm but they are rarer. Sod's Law means that on the days I work from home, I rarely have a cube in or out but as soon as I head in to the Office...

I also use my presentation pack stamps for postage - they aren't worth anything more than face value for quite a long time so may as well get some use out of them. I also gift close family a pack of 1st class stamps in their Christmas cards every December - always appreciated at that time of the year

I,ve had two batch of advertising leaflets delivered by Royal Mail in recent weeks yet no photos of them have appeared on the Unaddressed Mail section. When I try to tick Other items nothing happens so I sure what I do about them. Anybody else had this issue ?

Noticed this too. However, realised the survey started the following Monday. They sometimes post the UM survey a week earlier on your left hand side list, but unable to enter any data until its actually active (the following week)....if you get what I mean.
