If you stick around a while you'll eventually get a week when you have multiple cubes/DVD boxes so that you have two posting pack envelopes. One of the "your address" labels will be missing as it has been used for the second posting pack. Which begs the question of why the first posting pack has a separately printed label :huh: probably because the process changed at some point but the set up to print the sheet of labels didn't...

After your stint you will have lots of half-sheets of labels and a couple of dozen "your address" labels lying around

Thank you! I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about... but imagine it will become clear in time. Can't quite work out why I have labels with my own name and address on if I'm not supposed to use them for anything?

So far I've just had the first test envelope and jiffy bag to post off, so perhaps it will become clear with the next set of whatever arrives.

Just finished the last survey but it annoys me that they spread all the posting recipient details over two separate ustapled sheets when often one sheet containing them all would suffice.

This annoys me as well - only two addresses on one sheet with loads of room underneath and the third item on a separate sheet - talk about wasting paper and ink! Clearly the green revolution hasn't filtered through to TNS yet.

LATEST NEWS

Royal Mail has just launched its first postboxes for parcels. For now, please continue to take your cubes and medium parcels to the Post Office as usual. In future, you will be able to use these boxes for your parcel postings – we’ll let you know when.

We are introducing new daily and monthly Pinpoint Prizes for panellists who are getting GPS validation at the postbox, at the time of posting, when they post their stamped postbox items. The good old Daily Login prize is still there to be won, the Monthly prize and don’t forget to keep a look out for the Golden RFID. The table below gives a complete overview of the prizes you can win if you are a private panellist

7 daily draws for 1000 (any day valid postbox posting by app)
2 monthly draws for 25000 (greater than 80% valid app usage)

I might just download and start using the app

The app is very easy to use, self intuitive, and it's all recorded at the postbox and you don't need to log onto PC when returning home.

No good if you only have a pay as you go mobile as any credit would quickly be used entering data at the post box. I am starting to feel like a second class panelist as I can't qualify for some of the rewards. It Ok for those than can afford a contract phone with inclusive data and calls, I can't. Perhaps it's time to cease the survey. How long will it be before data entry at the post box is compulsory. This is the carrot to change before it's mandatory to record posting whilst standing by the post box.

i'm not sure how much you use per month on pay as you go but there are other options between PAYG and costly monthly contracts, I use Giffgaff so get a monthly allowance like a contract but only pay £8/month which is the package that suits my usage, other networks offer similar, there is no contract so if it doesn't suit there is only the months package cost.

i'm not on the active panel at the moment but won't consider using the app as it seems to be apps for the sake of apps in many cases these days, so don't feel pushed to use it

I'm surprised it took this long.
GPS/box scanning data has been core in RMs collection checking for a decade.

I use the labels addressed to me on parcels that I send out! I also use the stamps said parcels as it reduces the cost as these days I don’t use snail mail much. I think using the app atpost boxes is great! It negates the need to remember the time of posting!

Look at the labels used to send you the grey/black posting packs... it's a spare one of those that might be needed on a busy week.

You can bin them or re-use them as Wearside suggests. I've been using mine for competition entries and I've still got some left.

I guess that's points.... if it was pounds I might be tempted to rejoin
