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 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!

It’s got recipients thrown off the survey before now, that’s why we get cross about it. Particularly when it’s not just the date but also the time etc.
I personally think a postie would have to be particularly dense not to notice anyway, but we don’t need to give them a helping hand.

Especially as you can spot a smart a mile off!

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...

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.

Posting Pack for that week arrived today.  A cube and 2 letters.  Oh Joy.  Nothing for end of the cycle though.  When I check the app it's showing I will have items to post on April 14th so maybe I'm doing another week.

Thought:  I've had one cube a month this time round which is not too bad.  Only one Jiffy Bag though and I haven't seen a CD/DVD box in either direction for the last two cycles now.  Has anybody else had one recently?

Baileys_Babe

I haven't seen a CD/DVD box in a couple of years, probably pre 2020.

Saetana

I had one CD/DVD box to post during my last 6 month stint which ended in February.

I’m back on the panel after a break of about 8 months. First envelope arrives today, straight into real postings with no training, plus a 2022 diary new stamps with bar codes and a souvenir pack 614 FA cup.
Quite surprised not to have to do any (re-) training and that the rewards arrived before I’ve sent anything. Don’t know why they bother to send a diary end of March.

Hi all, how long does it normally take to be accepted on the panel? I applied a few months ago, but no news yet

It depends on whether they are short of panelists in your area. If not, it could take a while..

My sister applied about 10 months ago and she has heard nothing either. I think I waited longer than that, I had forgotten all about it when I received my 1st invite

It is not unknown for it to take years.
