I'm not so bothered about the reward, it's the fact that I have nowhere to post them without having to go out of my way. I did a bit of research and there are 3 parcel boxes within a 5 mile radius of where I live. The closest one is on the edge of town centre a mile away (so often full) and the 2 others are 5 miles away (each in different direction) on (you guessed it) out of town industrial estates. I do not drive so walking 5 miles to a parcel box and 5 miles back is simply not practical and bus tickets are expensive (assuming the bus actually turns up). In the past year, 2 local post offices closed down (one was 5 mins walk away and every time I went there, it was busy) so if I want to go to a post office now, it's 20 min walk each way (and then it's a 10min+ queue to get served). We need post offices with longer opening hours and/or more parcel boxes in more accessible locations (and emptied more often). Sorry for the long rant, I could go on for quite a while still...

It won’t hurt emailing them to ask for an opt out of parcels. There must be lots of people like me that can post extra to cover those that can’t. I work full time on an Industrial Estate with a parcel box I drive past twice a day. I’m more than happy to have extra parcels as it’s not out of my way. 

RM will then point to their Parcel Collection service - which still doesn't work for Yorkie unless they can collect from a workplace at an agreed time (lunchbreak).   And wouldn't work for the panel as it isn't anonymous.

You can leave your parcels in a “safeplace” for RM to collect if you’re out. 

But that’s irrelevant anyway because as you say, it’s not anonymous so wouldn’t work.

I don't seem to have any items to post after end of May - anyone else got June dates up yet? Just wondering if I'm being mothballed for a rest period shortly. 

App is only showing me to 31st May - but this morning I got an invite to Correctly Delivered running for the next 2 weeks (to 3rd June).

Flipping heck Spectos....     I know I've got a bundle to go out today; it's going just after 5pm when I've finished work.  I pick up the phone to scan the code on the wrapper and the app is sending me alerts....

Now up to 17 transponders to be returned!   

I've got my bundle for the 25th - but not my bundle for the 23rd - will it be another mailbag?

They have at least taken notice of my holiday, so that’s a bit of a change from kantar

I'm new to this and baffled honestly. I'm mid-unaddressed mail which seems fairly straightforward, the pictures of what I'm looking for have been blank, but now are ok.
However, today there is a 'notification' above the quizzes which says 1 test letter is expected to be received. Is this part of the unaddressed mail or something else? Will it be obviously a test letter?

It is nothing to do with the UA. Looks like you might be live on the main survey now.

Hi all - Spectros newbie here.

I got accepted around a month and a half ago, and have since only had 2 letters to post. Is this normal?

Going by some of the previous posts on this thread, I would say yes it is. You just have to sit and wait. A lot of people will be nearing the end of their 6 month stint soon so there should be some opportunities.

I’m relatively new & have just done both the UA & CDM surveys. Since joining at the end of February I’ve had a few messages like you describe & a couple of days later I normally receive an RFID transponder to return. After you acknowledge receipt of the letter & complete the details of receipt, another message will appear saying a transponder is expected to be returned. When you post it you enter the date of posting, & you should eventually get 10 points credited for returning the transponder.

Just had some postings for June pop up on my app, guess I'm not going to sleep just yet then.
