That's a bit of an ageist assumption...

I'm slightly bemused by the number of people here who say they don't use the stamps.  Or don't know what to do with a Presentation Pack.   Are you all on the panel for fun?  Or is it for the hope of getting onto the Undelivered and Correctly Addressed surveys which are less effort and more reward.

Like I said before...  I was on the panel for about 4 years and thought the rewards were worth it; then I moved jobs and couldn't easily get deal with packages (not near a suitable PO in the daytime and not home to receive them) so I dropped out when the effort and time outweighed the benefits.  Now I'm Working from Home - I can get to a PO after work and I'm here for incoming parcels.  So I'm back on and I'm looking forward to next presentation pack arriving.

Out of interest, what do you do with the stamps and presentation packs. People who I could sell them onto have died as have most of the people I posted cards to.

@little@littlemoney.  Do you never post birthday cards, thank you notes?
I keep some of mine & donate some to our local foodbank.

I sold some on FB marketplace. Less than face value but more than I’d have got on eBay with fees etc. I don’t use stamps as much as I used to now the nieces and nephews have grown up and I’ve not got so many parcels to send.

I use a lot of the stamps but occasionally pop a pack Into a birthday card or Get Well card as mini gesture "in case these might be useful".      I,ve still got all the accumulated presentation packs since ai first joined the panel some years ago.  Have no idea what to do with then.  Imagine some people perhaps sell them on eBay whixh I don't use so no idea what they would likely sell for.

I sell the presentation packs on EBay, generally get around £10. I have 2 buyers that I now offer to direct before listing.

I use stamps for cards, particularly find the large letter ones useful for that as I can splash out on perhaps an embellished card that I otherwise wouldn't. 
I also use some for posting items on ebay.
Plus if i have any left, xmas cards. I have friends / family all over the place in the uk. 
Presentation packs get sold.

I will shortly have two items to post on the same day. Don't know yet whether they are am/pm postings. Would it be okay to post them both in the same postbox? TIA.

I have always done this, provided you record the time of posting accurately, Kantar haven’t objected.

elsien

They objected when I did 3 in the same postbox at the same time.  Two has never been an issue.

I have a email telling me I have a delivery that needs signing for on Monday. Is this likely to be a part of the panel as I can't think of anything else.

Very unlikely to be linked to the panel.
