i'm coming to the end of the 6 month term. Do they re-enroll you straight away or is there a break?

I,ve been doing this survey for several years and find there,s usually a 6 months break before you get invited again.  During that time you do still continue to get invitations to the correctly Delivered and and Unaddressed  Mail surveys.

I noticed on my 'thanks for your participation' letter this month (coming to the end of my stint) they have said to expect to hear from them in 4-5mths. I know once you accept the next stint they need to then prep etc but I'm sure it was 6mths before I heard back last time, then another month before actually going live.

I'm back next week for the first time since December so it is near 7 months not 6

My break is usually 4 months, I guess it depends on how many panellists are in your area.

Hello,

We’ve noticed that you have recorded some of your received items several days after they were delivered. We report your data weekly to Royal Mail, so to ensure that we can report your items promptly please always try to record them as close to the date of delivery as you can.

This message is automated. If you’re already recording your items as soon as you receive them, thanks for doing so, and please disregard this message.

Unquote.

For their information I have never delayed recording any received items and are dealt with on the day received. The message first of all implies it is personal to me and and second paragraph seems to contradict this.

I receive 2x more than I send out. I'm always returning SMARTs back in those foil enevelopes. Is that a sign my area is sought after?

Those stamps are really good and I used them all the time - I might have to finally end up actually paying for stamps soon.

I presume most people doing the stamps surveys are pension ago? Because most peop;e who work 9-5 dont have the time for these stuff. I have an online store so I am working from home and sending and receiving a lot of letters anyway.

I'm not pension age yet, unfortunately, I still have many years to go. I am home-based, I home educate our children, I incorporate posting survey items into our regular days, occasionally being expected to post something is the motivation we need to get outside especially when the weather is awful.

Is your mail generally late at the moment , we are only getting deliveries 2 or 3 times a week. It may be that the RFIDs have been tracked to the delivery office so the assumption is that it must have been delivered in the next delivery as it is not tracked beyond that point.

I think that would be a massive assumption to make. There are many people who work who do not do 9-5, plus just because someone is of pension age does not mean they have oodles of spare time to fill. Some of our retired friends have a busier social schedule (and one that is more unpredictable) than a working one.

I’m not retired either and do work 9-5 (or longer). It just means I post everything in the evening, irrespective of the time it says to post and I usually can’t say exactly what time mail is received at. They’ve never said anything.

I work 9-5. I post either morning or evening according to the schedule because I walk past a postbox when I walk the dog. Even if I wasn't dog walking, I would still do that because I like an early morning walk.
