I tend to ignore the morning or afternoon instructions and just shove them in the postbox whenever I can get there, as long as it’s before the final collection.

With Kantar, I haven’t even bothered to ensure they are posted before last collection - most of mine get posted at 10 o’clock at night. They used to be really fussy about posting the day before to meet the last collection so given I can only post at night, it then had to be on the day they requested, even if it was after last collection. They’ve never complained.

Spectos seem to do it differently though and say we should post the day before to meet the last collection.

I’ve always assumed that them getting accurate information as to when it was posted was more important than whether their schedule was precisely followed (within reason).

Yeah I asked once and they said the time is not important, just that it is posted on the correct day.  I had one for Saturday and no way was I getting up to post it before 7am so I shoved it in when I went out in the afternoon.  So long as its correctly recorded, that is all that matters.  I think the morning/afternoon stuff dates back to when boxes were emptied twice a day which, as we all know, is no longer the case.

Has anyone else stopped getting notifications (specifically bookmark updates) that a new post has been added to this thread?

I no longer get them and note that the previous Kantar post was also stopped after 630 odd pages..

Just to follow up on the above - the board listing also shows the latest post date as stuck on the 8th December though the name of the poster who made the last post correctly updates.

I've just received my last posting pack - another set of cubes...

So that's 2 to post on Saturday, 1 to post on Monday and 2 to post on Tuesday!

I got a presentation pack of Transformers stamps and a note to say my stint had finished and to expect contact in 4-5 months. No extension, or mention of Spectos!

I had a green (instead of the usual grey ones) sack in which to post two medium parcels. When I took it to the Post Office I was told that the green ones were for Special Delivery items and was that what I wanted. I said 'no' and she took it anyway. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this.

I've got a cube to post this week and the sack they sent me was a plain white one, instead of the usual grey ones with the PO logo on them. Will see what happens when I try to post it, don't think it will be a problem. 

They are probably running low on sacks with the backlog after the strikes.

I've had white ones before with no questions asked.

I I have just accepted the invitation to join the new Mailagents/Spectos  scheme after a few years with Kantar. Those years have gone smoothly and were straightforward.
I’ve installed the app and have attempted the three quizzes. Even after all this time I have still got some of the answers wrong! Are we supposed to score 100% correct to be allowed to join? 

Also for people who are nee to the posting panel and weren’t on Kantar, navigating the jargon must be difficult. A staring page explaining it all seems essential.
Please can anyone help? Thank you

When you do the quiz again it will prompt you with the right answer for any you got wrong.
