For those getting invites back, is it always around 6mths after your last stint?

I’ve been invited back and it’s been less than 6 months this time round. Closer to 4 when I got the invite although not had a start date as yet and it’s been a few weeks now.

It's been slightly less than six months for me, as I received my final sets of postage stamps and presentation sets in January this year.

It was less than 4 months for me.

I am a novice at posting cubes and I am confused.  I had a cube to post today and it went in that massive sack.  I have one to post tomorrow with stamps on it.  I do not have a manifest or sack for it, so do I just hand it over the counter in the Post Office?  There is nothing in the help section and contacting them is impossible as it takes days if not weeks for an answer.  Do forgive my ignorance please.

Well, that,s what I,ve done in the past and it's never been queried.   I suspect our village post office lady may have a suspicion that it's a  Royal Mail survey item but if she has,  she has wisely kept her suspicions to herself.

In essence, Yes.

YES.  
I haven't checked but think the instructions about using the mail bags specifically mention that you don't put stamped parcels in them.
If you haven't posted a stamped cube before, expect to be asked what is inside.  My reply is something along the lines of "mostly air but also paper and other non-prohibited material".  Some say "origami" and the instructions do somewhere include the TNS suggestion.

Yes, just hand the stamped cube over the counter. I've never actually been questioned about what's in it but I like the 'origami' suggestion.

I have been doing the survey for many years and I have probably only been asked a few times. I always answer origami as the cube does contain folded paper, so I am not lying 😉
