Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

1972

I signed up months ago after being with  Kantar.  I have just completed a Unaddressed Survey, buy haven't received any stamp or anything to send.

Has anyone else found themselves in this situation?

I'm doing the unaddressed survey.

Reading the instructions at the top of the page, it says to include unaddressed mail delivered by RM and other companies.

Should I be including all the little cards put through the door by local handymen/ gardeners / window cleaners/ charity bags etc?

I don't know if some of them are companies or individuals.

I included flyers & leaflets. Not sure about business cards as I didn’t get any.

I include every piece of advertising that comes through the letter box. Haven't had any cards for ages. I am on the UA at the moment too. I am not getting much that is expected by Spectos.

I include everything - religious tracts, charity collection bags and all.   

Today I got my first actual bit of UA that was on the app.  Good to see that they ask about multiple copies as I got two.

Meanwhile - the app tells me I have 12 transponders to send back - is this a record?    (The correct number is 6 - which were posted yesterday afternoon so won't have been processed in yet).

I think that might be a record! 

I received another two books today - one I read years ago. The other I might read if it were backlit like my Kindle  (actually picked up a book years ago and wondered why I couldn't read it in the dark - so used to using my Kindle).

Number of postings seems to have radically reduced for the next couple of weeks. Not sure if that's me being wound down to rest or whether there's more people in my local area now so the tasks are fewer. Personally I'd rather have more and clock up the points.

When are the 1st set of stamps (and how many) being sent, I have been registered over 2 months had 2 mailings but no stamps?

Standard is 4x Large 1st and 12 x 1st every month - usually arriving in the third or fourth week of the month.

Spectos claim they would also give a Presentation Pack every 6 months; under Kantar this meant start and end of your live mailing cycle.  However, Spectos don't appear to be following this.

We all got two Christmas presentation packs in late December - pretty sure that was our presentation pack plus bonus Christmas stamps.  I don't know anyone who has finished their stint yet, so we will have to see with that.

When I queried the transponder issues, Spectos basically said ignore that part of the app for now as - quelle surprise - they are having issues with it.  I received 3 two days ago, refreshed the app to make sure they were all showing for return and marked all three as returned.  Today another has appeared, despite the fact I haven't had any more transponders since then.

I started in February and haven’t had a presentation pack yet. I very much doubt I’ll be getting one, I did query it and got a response saying they would be sent out, but still nothing. If anyone else has had one please let me know and I’ll chase. Kind of given up now assuming it’s not happening!

I think it calculates how many you have received plus any on their way. I had 3 items pending delivery earlier, received 2, still pending 1. 
Returned the 2 transponders and it was saying 3 due to be returned.
