    I’ve been in touch with Spectos regarding parcels. They should be starting soon. Good news is that they will not be using cubes! I contacted them outlining the issues we’ve all been moaning about and they seemed quite shocked about the set up. I mentioned my particular concerns regarding their lightness and using parcel boxes. They gave me an idea of their plans which I don’t think I can go into too much detail but I think most of us will be much happier.
    Hmmm….cryptic! Wonder will it involve the parcel collect service, where the postman picks up the parcel from your doorstep?

    Has anyone else found Spectos has gone quiet over the past few weeks?

    I was regularly receiving items to record and/or post but I haven’t had anything for a few weeks.

    (I know there was a Royal Mail strike Thursday and Friday)

    I'm getting one posting pack a week - always late and one or two incoming a week.  Plus the two e-mail newsletters quoted above.

    Haven't had anything for about 10 days now - although given the postal strikes its possible stuff is in transit.

    Spectos have sent me nothing for 2 weeks. Had a letter to post last week though. Maybe they have paused for the Black Friday strike. They owe us all a lot of stamps too.

    Same here, unfortunately. Maybe Spectos have sufficient beta testing and are now waiting to launch. Maybe it is a one man (or woman) band and are lying on the beach somewhere warm. Who knows?

    Same for me. Pity we aren't informed of what's happening.

    Spectos probably put their testing on hold for the 2 strike weeks. It would probably unnecessarily complicate things. They have not been great communicators so far either. I am sure an issue of stamps will placate everyone.

    By my reckoning - that would be 2 monthly sets of 12 1st + 4 1stL and a presentation pack I'm due this week.
