    Thanks, about 4% pay rise then we have beaten inflation. I seem to be working harder for it, definitely more CD cases and Jiffy bags.

    I've just had a message saying my first posting pack is on the way - back on the main survey for the 5th year in a row. Really hope there aren't so many parcels this time - more than one or two a month is really inconvenient for me - the extra £2 does not cover my bus fare if I have to make a special trip. Looking forward to getting some stamps though - I'm down to 2 first class left and no large letter stamps, think I was overgenerous giving them away at Christmas :D

  • I haven't been on the active panel now for almost three years. Still doing the unaddressed and correctly delivered though.

    I,v been doing the surveys for quite a long time and have accumulated a collection of special sets of stamps for which I really have no use as I!!!8217;m not a stamp collector. I,d much rather have second class stamps which ai can actually use.

    What have other people done with their special collections ?






    Im the opposite of everyone and use ALL my stamps as I send a lot of things overseas, and use all the special ones as well as the books we get, Im always out of stamps . What ive been doing is exchanging with people for something they want instead , Stamps for ( Crafts/ Hobbies materials / kits . Goodie Bags etc) That way everyone is happy, but that's just me , I don't know what anyone else does

    I use them postally - on Birthday cards and things. As I have friends overseas, I can even use the high-values eventually. What I don't have much use for is the Large 1st booklets so I keep one or two on hand and sell the rest on eBay. OK, I only get 2/3 face value but I'm still up at the end of the day. If you've got the more popular presentation packs (Star Wars - Game of Thrones) you could well make a profit even after buying a few hard-backed envelopes.
    I need to think of something new here...

    hi I have been rested for over 12mths now. I only ever did the training and was rested straight away. is this normal or did i do something wrong? I thought I may have been recalled by now as i know a lot of people are recalled straight away- or are there just no spaces in the area? I thought when I was asked to do the training it meant there were spaces but obviously not. anyway I live in hope!!

    many thanks

    Email them and ask. I did that when I was resting for longer than I expected and was put straight back on the panel. It's possible that you've been overlooked.

    I think the number of times you!!!8217;re asked to participate in any given study depends on the number of vacancies they have in certain postal code areas.
    A couple of times in the past I,ve had messages asking if I know of anybody living in various specific postal ares of the country where they have vacancies who might like to participate so possibly some surveys fill up (possibly those where there are plenty of posting facilities around) while others are troublesome to fill - maybe in the more rural areas where post offices are few and far between for posting difficult items like cubesand people may have to drive a distance to their nearest post box. Understandably those postal areas, especially for people who have to work and can,t always adhere to specified posting times are going to find it more difficult to recruit survey participants.

    It,s best to email them and ask if they need participants in your postal area. I,ve had invitations to some surveys where I,ve replied within 30 minutes of receiving an invitation and already the slot has been filled.

    I'm back on the survey after the break. Where is the button to confirm I have prepared an item. I just can't see it at all.
    The new site is a complete nightmare.

    It,s not intuitive I agree but if you've Clicked on the space where it says add the smart and you,ve entered the smart number from the selection available I think yiu!!!8217;ll Find that that if tap the big blue square again it should take you automatically to the next stage.
