I've received some with the wrong RFID before. On logging the item as received, it just double checks that you have entered the code in correctly - as it's not the one they were expecting.

No big deal

Yeah, I can see it maybe causes problems with tracking as they then won’t know exactly where any delays have taken place but it can still be logged when received and they have the info on when it was posted. With a missing R number, the person is just wasting their time posting it in the first place.

I'm still baffled as to how I ended up with an item with a handwritten R number that was not valid. I guess they may have either damaged the label and / or mis-transposed the number when handwriting it

I'm not totally 100% sure but I don't think you can enter a R number that isn’t actually yours - that is one that should have been sent to someone else. 
I had one about 2 or 3 surveys back I seem to remember.
Wouldn't let me enter it despite checking I had got it right, then I realised that the POSTCODE on the sticky label wasn't mine.
Think everything else matched - right postage, right envelope with handwritten address etc.

Presumably MY label went in an identical posting to someone else 

Oh possibly. It seemed a very high number comapred to ones on labels I've received / sent of late. Ah well, one of those things that we'll never be sure of.

You really can check to some extent whether the R number (if that's all you've got) is meant for you or someone else actually.

Obviously if you've received the label whole & intact then it should have your own postcode on it which answers the question, but IF it's handwritten or missing the postcode ......

You cannot compare it to ANY of the R numbers that you've sent, they vary wide and far.
For instance in my current stint so far I've sent 32 items and they've had 2 digit, 3 digit and 4 digit Rs eg Rnn , Rnnn and Rnnnn
Lowest was the only 2 - R75
I've had eleven 3 digit - ranging from 281 to 943
The score of 4 digits span 1882 to 9670

HOWEVER those received fit into quite a specific range and have quite a specific pattern that's mostly very predictable (something I noticed a few surveys back)
I've received 35 items to date, they are ALL 4 digit and ALL start R7nnn
Indeed they currently go R75nn to R79nn and arrived generally in that ascending order
75 was early Jan, 76 late Jan, 77 early Feb, 78 later Feb into March
My two R79nn's came a few days ago on 12th & 16th.

Furthermore they almost always come in groups of FIVE separated by the number 8
For example
My first lot - the R75nn - went 7559, 7567, 7575, 7583 and finally 7591
then I got
7609, 7617, 7625, 7633, 7641
followed by 
7658 7666, 7674, 7682 7690

Each GROUP of 5 is separated by usually either 17 or 18 (I think alternating)
as above 7591 to 7609 is 18
7641 to 7658 is 17

It almost never differs from this count of 8 (for the group of 5) and the split of 17 or 18

Would this be your 7th time on the panel? I’m on my third stint on the panel and all my numbers begin with 3. I seem to remember getting 1’s and 2’s before but not in this stint and I don’t recall ever getting anything higher than 3. Possibly a wild guess.

Message in the app telling me I'm coming to the end of my cycle and that my last posting pack will be the one for [DATE}.   Well I've got one for week commencing 28th March so I must be continuing into April  which will be the 7th month...

I got the sheet about the R number in that pack.  Clearly must have been a common problem.

Funny people are saying this about missing R numbers as my next lot of things to post have come today and there’s a generic reminder sheet in there about including the R number stickers - perhaps it’s a wide spread issue lately?

Corrected message says I end with week of 4th April so that's 6 months and 3 weeks.  I'm already booked for Correctly Delivered in the first half of April so I'll still be reading here.

Delivery today from someone who has written posting details on the envelope.  Sigh.

I received one on Saturday with the date to be posted written in ink in the top left 🤦‍♀️ if you need to write a reminder, write it on the INSIDE of the flap and seal the envelope shortly before posting.

I have one this week and one next week going to the same person who lives about a mile from me

I know on this thread this seems like the biggest sin in the world, but I genuinely write on the back of envelopes posting dates eg when I’ve birthday cards to post that I’ve bought well in advance. I don’t see it as a way of revealing you are on the survey, just that you are organised!
