    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.
    You’ll be glad to know that in todays Spectos newsletter they confirmed that 2 lots of stamps will be sent out this week in 1 envelope (24 First Class & 8 Large First Class). Should arrive just in time for me to use on my Christmas Cards.

    I haven’t received any newsletter from Spectos since the last one a few weeks ago, so many thanks for providing the update.

    No newsletter here either yet. Hope they have some Christmas stamps. Missed out with Kantar.

    I’ve had an update to the newsletter:

    Not read the newsletter yet so clear as mud.  

    You received a newsletter a few moments ago from us. As an experienced panellist who has already participated in the past, we would like to give you some additional information that is specifically relevant to you.


    Stamps
    As indicated in the newsletter, we will start sending stamps this week. For organisation purposes, your stamps will arrive in dedicated letters. 


    Resting period
    It seems there has been some confusion about resting periods starting. Your resting period started recently, for this reason, Kantar proposed that you register with us. If you haven’t received any test items in the last 2 weeks, please don’t worry. Please send a quick note to support@mailagents.ukstating that you are happy to carry on with us during the setup phase and parallel phase (which goes until March 27th, 2023). After this, the regular switch from active to rest every 6 months will happen automatically.


    Do you need further information?
    We will be happy to answer your questions, you can contact us by email to support@mailagents.uk. You will also find the most frequently asked questions here!

    We greatly appreciate your participation in our Mailagents panel and look forward to working with you.

    Glad it's just me that finds them incomprehensible...    I'm assuming this means "your Kantar resting period".  I'm live on both (not sure if they realise this).

    " If you haven’t received any test items in the last 2 weeks, please don’t worry. "  I've no idea if Spectos have paused me or I'm just not getting them promptly because of the strikes...
    I need to think of something new here...

    Similarly I have had NO post at all this week despite there being some things I am expecting.

    I also had a mess age from Kantar saying that some of my data was missing for items I should have receive. Err, that's because I haven't received them!

    Except I’m not on a Kantar resting period either. Hence even more confusion.

    Likewise. I am 'live' on both at the moment.

    Got both emails. I finished with Kantar a month ago but have overlapped with Spectos.

    I am doing both. Should finish Kantar in January but they have asked me to stay until the end of March.
