On the letter that came with one of them it said to "remove the band" before posting but there is no band, it's just a box that contains a dvd (says this on the letter that came with it) with five first class stamps on it.Gail333 said:The second one is in a drawstring bag and I have no idea if I'm supposed to open this bag or just give the whole thing to the post office. This one also comes with documentation that I think I'm supposed to give to the post office staff.
If you have taken the Posting Plan with you, then you can report it like any other bundle.
OR - if you have a parcel postbox convenient to you (this is a handy website https://postboxes.dracos.co.uk/parcels/ ) then you can open the mailbag, post the parcels in that postbox, scan the barcode on the back of the Posting Plan to report. In that case, you discard the manifest and don't need to queue up.
No you cannot - parcels have to be posted either at the post office or in a dedicated parcel posting box, they have to track what happens to actual parcels, not just items posted in a regular postbox.
Doesn't matter whether they are handled separately or not, the point is Spectos will be able to tell where the items were posted because the postman/woman scans the box when they empty it, in addition to the panellist presumably correctly reporting exactly where they posted it. All I know is that anything other than a very small light parcel is delivered separately in a a van rather than by the postman who delivers my letters and packets so I would imagine there is some degree of separate handling. If we were allowed to post these items in normal postboxes then Spectos would say so but they specify post office or dedicated parcel box so those are the options.

There has never been any mention of being able to request sellotape or that actually Spectos provide it.“Hardware: The parts of a computer system that can be thrown out of the nearest window!”0 -

Another book received today, which went straight back in the post. Just reused the bag it came in, old blank Kantar label (have tons coming out of my ears) and a bit of parcel tape. Based on the stamps and points we earn, I'm not opposed to buying a roll from the £ shop to use, not like it needs much to seal the bag.
