Just had my invitation backto the main panel to start in July - I almost turned it down as I am concerned about how many parcels they will expect me to post but have accepted and will see how it goes.  Think this is my 8th year on the panel now...

Just before you start they will send you a message asking if you are able to post parcels. Just say no, it makes no difference to the stamps you get sent.

I agreed to post parcels this time round. I think I started back in Jan / Feb and I've had a couple to post over the counter, and just got my third sack to take to the local depot (easier than trying to deal with them at the local PO)

About the same as quoia - one sack a month; once with two items but usually one.  One pre-stamped parcel.

Not a big deal for me since I started working form home and can nip out to a post office 5 minutes away at quiet times.

What do you do when you have just started a correctly delivered survey and are called away, so you will miss the post for 10 days?

a) make up the numbers
b) use the ‘unsure’ category for the total post that arrived in the week and leave the other days as 0.
c) something else.

d) ask if there's anyone in the house who can make notes of what's arrived when and then log it all when you get back?

If there is nobody who can make a note of how many items arrived on which day for you then you would be best to contact Kantar via the website or by phone and see what they say.

I’ve had that situation but in my case, I was only away for the first week so when I returned, I knew that all the items had been received at some point in the first week of the survey. I just put them all into the unsure box and left the rest blank. I figured that accurate but not useful data was better than inaccurate and misleading data.

If the envelopes had a postmark I guessed  next day delivery for first class and 2 days delivery for second class.  If no legible posting time on envelope I put unsure unsure.

You need to tell Kantar about your absence and that you cannot record the information that they require

Hey peeps,

You can use the blank labels and print on them using your laser printer.

There is a template here you can use: https://uk.onlinelabels.com/templates/blank/eu30043?type=microsoft-word&version=1170&layout=Portrait

I downloaded the word template, if you use the template as is - you'll get misaligned box lines - you will need to edit it and change the boxes to have no lines.

I am receiving a lot of post for the previous tenant. They subscribed to so many circulars and junk mail, political party, charity, various marketing material from loan companies etc. So these labels are handy as I can just stick them over the address and post it into the post box.

Do at your own risk - I have been putting sheet labels through my printer for years without problems - not everyone's printer will allow for this.
