Correctly Delivered invite at 2pm today - didn't see it until just after 5 but still got on.  And the app still thanks me for agreeing to the Unaddressed Survey.

I'm supposed to get my first Posting Pack this week but nothing showing yet under Item Preparation.  Usually they appear there first don't they?

Message from Kantar today telling me to expect my first Posting Pack next week to start on 10th Oct.    OK - so I'm doing main panel and CD together.

And you are aware that anything you receive from Kantar (eg posting pack) or other participants doesn't get counted in the "correctly delivered" tally.

Yep.  Done it before...    Even though the Spectos training suggests you can't.

My point was not that you can do both regular survey and the correctly delivered at the same time (under Kantar regime) but that any mail you receive because of your participation in the regular survey does not get counted as an item for the correctly delivered survey running at the same time.  (I haven't done the Spectos training so don't know how they present the requirement.)

And my point was that I knew that perfectly well – because it’s in the instructions and I’ve been doing CD for years….

It does seem their are going to be done differences between the way the two companies will handle things.

From what I can tell this includes 

1. You can't do the other surveys if live on the Spectos main panel.

I got my welcome letter today - yes, Sunday!  I've installed the app and done the quizzes - using the silvercar technique of making best guess and then re-taking.  I think some elements have been changed.  For example, the Spectos quiz for Unaddressed and Correctly Delivered says you can only do these while you are in the resting phase; I'm pretty sure that I've done those in parallel to the main survey

Do keep up General....

I just received a posting pack for Spectos. It has a single letter that needs to be posted... today.

It is already prepared and sealed - it feels like the RFID inside it is the same that Kantar use.

I have received next week's posting pack from Kantar.  It also has just one letter which needs to be prepared.

Last week they asked for 2 RFIDs to be returned.  As I had no envelopes, I asked for a supply.  Unfortunately, none have been sent, so they will have to wait for their RFIDs to be returned.  I thought the envelopes would have been included in the posting pack.

Here too. It arrived after last posting time on local postbox. So I had to go on a long walk🤣

Given how sporadic my postal deliveries have been recently, I’ll probably receive the posting pack on Friday then with a request to post it today!

Already been to the postbox today and stuck in meetings all afternoon, so it's getting posted next week!

Sounds like Spectos need to up their game to take account of postal strikes and allow extra time for posting packs to arrive.  Weird as I thought they were not taking over until next year?

Also received my first pack from them, just one item to be posted on Friday.

Quite like the fact that the items are made up ready, and the band around them saying when to post, saves a bit of time and also 25 points for saying you have received the item to post.

Looks like they track the time it takes for you to recieve mailings from them and pay you accordingly.
