    Does anybody know when this current survey actually finishes?  I seem to have started it around January or February and then of course it halted  during lockdown but it seems to be going on for ever.  I know we,ve all rather lost track of time during this pandemic but Im growing rather weary of it!

    I started in Jan and recently received the 'Your current 6-month-period on the survey is coming to an end soon' message via the website.
  • Like wideband I started back in january and around 3 weeks ago was swnt the message that I would be ending soon although no date mentioned.
    I am still getting weekly post both in and out so wonder if they are only replacing people if they actually have a panellist who wants to take up the 6 month offer.
    I imagine that there will be panelists who actually dont want to return whilst there are restrictions on.
    I'm glad to be taking a break as the post office has become very busy lately and whilst I'm not getting a lot to post each week there has been a cube in each pack for the past 8 sets of postings.

    Blimey, I would not be happy.
    So much for 1 a month!

    Hi, thanks for your response! When I received the first one, I thought it was a competition win, so put it in my signature, but when I received the second one, I am doubting whether that's the case (it seems highly unlikely). I don't think it would be any form of compensation, as I haven't had an issue with Royal Mail before. I guess maybe it's another win and I'm just lucky!

    Not impossible - I have had multiple wins of the same Presentation Pack from different comps and recognised the description.  The long gap between stamp issue, Stamp Magazine competition and actual arrival is familiar too.
    I need to think of something new here...
  • My only walkable-distance postbox only has one collection and it is at 9.00 am. Am I okay to always use this box, even when the schedule asks me to post in the afternoon?
    TIA.

    Hi, 
    I had this issue last year and from experience, I've just posted before the collection time and noted the actual time posted. They've never questioned why I was posting in the morning even though the schedule says after a certain time in the afternoon.

    I have done frequently if that fits in better with my plans and I have never been questioned as to why I didn't stick to the part of the day on the schedule.

    When items are not to be handed in at the post office counter, the postbox listed on my posting schedule always states 'mailbox'.  Could the postbox outside the post office be used, or does it have to be another mailbox?  I usually choose a separate mailbox, but occasionally the P.O box would be handier.
