Kantar - Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

silvercar

For those begrudging the cost of data to enter postal details, worth searching for “O2 the classic sim” on eBay, item costs 99p. Data at 1p a MB. So if you don’t use the SIM for anything else your total cost would be £1 for about a year’s worth of Kantar data entry.

I've deleted your picture about the package to be delivered on Monday before 3 pm because it also gives your full name.

I wouldn't expect it to be a Survey item (I've never received advance notification like that).  Was the email sent to the address you use for TNS?  

If Monday is not convenient, you can change the delivery date which I see you have not yet changed.

No I don’t think that will be from the panel. I’ve never been sent a signed for delivery from them or received that sort of email ever.

Thanks. It initially looked very good, but  I then had a look at the O2 web site which states.

Please note, this tariff is no longer available to existing customers wishing to switch to the tariff. If you are not already on this tariff you will not be able to switch to it.

Classic Pay As You Go

With Classic Pay As You Go, you pay for what you use, as you go. The minimum top up requirement is £10.

If you don't top up, or add a Bolt On at least once in any six month period, your mobile will be disconnected and you'll lose any credit on your account.

It makes me wonder what they are selling on ebay. It also required a 6 monthly £10 top up whether or not you used all the credit.

I wasn’t suggesting you switch. Just use it as a new SIM. Worst case is that in 6 months time you bin it and start again.

I've just had a look on eBay and it seems you can get one for 20p.

Very unlikely to be linked to the panel.

Your item has been sent tracked by http://www.ark-h.co.uk/ on behalf of one of their clients

hmmm no idea whats coming, it might be a nice surprise 🤣

I use my stamps for cards and parcels - plus I put a pack of first class in the christmas cards for immediate family members.  I just use the presentation packs as normal stamps - some have some high value stamps that are useful for parcels - unless I get a themed pack that I know a family member would love, then they get them in their Christmas card instead of ordinary stamps.

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.

I write letters to people     Some of those people are overseas so I do use the higher-values from Presentation Packs.   The 12x1st sometimes get used for competition entries, sometimes for postcards if I'm away.  The Large 1st - well I keep a few on hand for large birthday cards and sell the rest on eBay.  Ok I only end up at 2/3 face at best but it's a profit.  I sometimes use that profit to buy Presentation Packs on eBay (also at below face value) to use for postage.
