    Never had one to post in my first time on the panel. I don't think my local post office would be happy anyway. The even have a notice up saying they don't take anything over 2kg. My local parcel postbox in not in my postcode area so that is not an option.
    The parcels we send for Kantar only have a flimsy piece of polystyrene in them only weigh a few oz. That’s why I have alway found posting them embarrassing when they ask what is in there.

    Good job you do not mention the lithium battery. They are paranoid about them although button cells are not a problem.

    I think there's a lot of posting of craft items and samples going on 🤣🤣 i think i once said it was an origami model.

    That said, i had to post an actual personal item this week...blank look when i said 'mushroom cowl vent', so i simplified it to 'plumbing part'

    Fourth week back on the panel and got my first parcel to post this week - fortunately a stamped one rather than the stupid sacks.  I can live with 1-2 parcels a month but some panelists seem to be getting ridiculous amounts.  I live in a city so I presume we are not short of panelists to post parcels as I've never been inundated with them.

    Got my invite to return to the panel in September.  Not greatly bothered about cubes as I work from home and can nip out to the PO 5 minutes away to suit me.  (Nearest parcel postbox would be 8 minutes drive or 30 minutes walk each way).  No word on Spectos taking over though.

    And no word from Spectos despite signing up for their newsletters.
    I need to think of something new here...

    The cube I had to post to an address you could see from the door of the PO was a difficult one :#

    One of the advantages of the posting sacks !
