Perhaps because you can log receipt while sitting at home on your phone/computer, but to return a RFID you have to go out and make a trip to a postbox?

Just a thought.

And the RFIDs are possibly more valuable - they certainly seem in short supply sometimes - and any way shouldn't be going in general waste if simply thrown out.  By NBLondon not including it, it definitely stays available.

Yes - that bit is obvious - they don't want the RFID going in the bin.  But there's no incentive for a leaving panellist to even bother logging the receipt no matter how easy it is to do.  In my first time on the panel years ago - I was taken off while still on training.  I didn't send any of the pending items, and I didn't record any that arrived afterwards.  I did keep a return envelope back to send in any RFIDs that arrived.

Kantar might get lucky and the departing recipient does still log it so they get some info... but if not - there is no way of telling whether a) it was lost in transit  b) the recipient binned it or even c) I binned it but logged it as sent.

While I'm here - not only do they no longer track whether a stamped item was franked or not; there's also no question about whether the item was damaged now?   Today's incoming letter was crumpled and torn because it had been elastic banded to a cube...

Took my first bag to the PO this afternoon.  They took the paperwork, stamped it and opened the hatch to take the bag.  No problems at all.    I chucked the letter that may never get recorded as received into the postbox outside and logged all three on the app while waiting to cross the road.  Now to wait for the points for the cubes - and the query about a third one....

Hi All

Not done this type of posting for a while now, having got kicked off last one.

Has it changed now? When do you get your free stamps, if you do at all now?! Is it with the first envelope or sent after first posting please?

Still same stamps as reward, which are now worth more of course.

You get the stamps after you have completed the re-training.

Hi all recently did some cubes just wondering how long it take to get rewards on the app to appear and how many points per cubes. 

Any advice

I see from the latest edition of Postscript that, in connection with the Parcel Collect pilot TNS ran, 85% of respondent panellists said "yes" when asked "Would you roll out Parcel Collect as a new induction method?"

I'm not sure whether I'd even know what the question was actually asking.
Seems poorly worded - is it a method for inducting people instead of what they do now?
Or are the actually asking "Should we include Parcel Collect in the initial training for panellists?

Received a surprise 1000 online reward points, as I was a daily log in prize winner earlier this week.

Welcome gift.

It’ll take 3-4 weeks for the reward points to appear in your account on the app. They’ll send you a message when you’ve got them.

It’s 200 points per cube if it was a cube on its own or 200 points per mail sack if you dropped them off inside a sack. (You only get 200 points regardless of how many parcels are in the sack)

Just wondering has anyone posted an item a week earlier? I know the usual advice is if you can't post on the date stated then just post it the following week on same day, can you do this week earlier instead? if you know you can't post on the date shown?

As long as an item has been prepared the system will allow you to post it whenever you want to so I can't see any reason why not.

Its a fairly new service from Royal Mail where they collect your parcel(s) from your home for a small additional fee.  I wasn't one of the members testing it, but it sounds like it might get rolled out to all panellists eventually.  Anything that stops me having to trek to the post office has got to be a good thing.
