I have now been accepted for the correctly delivered survey and for the special unaddressed one. However I was advised on Christmas Day my stint on the regular postal panel would start on the 8 Feb. However nothing received as yet!

Checked yesterday and saw for next week there were two items to be posted to their offices in Birmingham. However checked today and these items have now been withdrawn. I take it they were training items. Perhaps they will be replaced with live ones.

Pleased to report my first live item arrived today with my presentation pack and stamps. Also no training.

Does anyone receive items with a similar address sticker that you might get from an Ebay seller for instance?  I can see my address sticker underneath, but this one is on top, with a company name on it, something to do with sewing I think.

These are normally sent by business users who are enrolled in the testing.  I've had a few of these where they put the Kantar TNS name / address sticker on the item to be posted (presume so they can link it back to the posting schedule) and then put the item through their own company franking / postal system to generate the label / postage.  Companies that participate are rewarded with credits to their franking machine / postal costs rather than actual stamps. 

These items usually have the printed mailmark postage rather than actual stamps.

Back on the panel after my rest period and received my first posting pack today. Pleasantly surprised to find that after nearly 10 years doing this they're trusting me not to need retraining!

Message today telling me I am not on the trial for the unaddressed that they told me I was going to take part in a few weeks back.  Usual TNS organisational ability.

Correctly delivered starts next week - is there any mail I actually do need to record ?

Me too. Given I responded as soon as it arrived, I’m not overly impressed.

Ditto, not impressed.
What with that, the Pinpoint terminated before it started, and the new method of posting parcels, with reduced reward, after many years I've decided to leave the survey altogether.

They said the same to me and like you I responded straight away. Interesting to hear if those who were telephoned for their participation suffer the same fate.

I have had the same. Considering that I had a message asking me to take part seems strange. Not like the normal invite, when they are gone it disappears. One would think they only invite enough people for the spaces they have,
