Kantar - Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

HomingPigeon

Thanks girlchops, but I like the tariff I have because I put £5 credit on the phone and it lasts 3 or 4 months, or sometimes even longer. I am a very light user, originally only getting a mobile phone in case I broke down on the motorway.

The only condition is that I use some credit once every 180 days. Texts and calls are 4p per minute. Data is 4p per byte (whatever that means). This tariff suits me well as I mostly use my home wifi, which is tied into my KCom landline/internet package because of where I live.

I'm lucky in that I'm able to use free wifi to record some of the survey items due to free wifi at my local shopping park - a postbox on the shopping park picks up the free wifi. Sadly too far away from the post office, so cubes/parcels can't be logged for free.

I wondered if Kantar would mind me using the same postbox for most of my postings, but so far I've heard nothing to that effect. I do on occasion go to different shops, and then I use a different postbox, and for that I enter the data manually on the website when I get home.

Well that was a shock.  Ordered my Amazon voucher at 14.28, received the code at 14.39 !!

Lucky you, I ordered mine on the 20th and I'm still waiting. So I had to use my card for a purchase. I also ordered a reward on their Incentives Program at the same time and got it almost immediately. Anyone else having trouble?
 

I have had trouble a couple of times.
I now only order within working day Monday to Friday & not at weekends as it is such a faff to chase up lost codes & takes so long.

Kantar are happy as long as you use a post box within your postal district.

I use the same post box for most of my mailings, I only switch it if I am passing another and not passing the normal one.

I use the same couple 90% of the time.

Received five separate posting packs today, three cubes (one in each bag) and two Mail sacks (again, one in each). All for the same week.

I’m not sure I really want to trek to the post office twice in a week….

I would take them all on the same day!

I’m planning on that, although will probably get a strange look along the lines of “why have you got two almost empty bags”.

You're posting for a couple of friends who run small business' too. With the price of petrol you offered to save them going to the post office as you were going anyway....

For those waiting for evouchers - I have just received a £25 M&S voucher that I ordered on 19 Sept after much  correspondence with Kantar. I am still waiting for another e-voucher to zero my account as they are closing my participation in the survey after many years of doing it as they insisted they had sent 5 renewal requests & strangely not even one came through to me so they just automatically cancel your membership.  Shall miss the UMS & CDS surveys but not re-applying for main survey as I will have to drive to my nearest PO now,which will not only cost me petrol but parking costs. So good luck to everyone with the changes & reduction in payments.  Hope you get better response from the support team in future.
