I did not receive any stamps at all. I signed up at the end of March and started posting items for Spectos on 2nd May. However, I have not received any stamps. Could you please tell me how many stamps are typically provided when posting items for Spectos?

Same as Kantar - we get 12 first class and 4 large letter stamps each month - I suggest you contact them via email to let them know you haven't had any stamps yet. We also get a presentation pack on starting and finishing our stints, again the same as Kantar.

Given we never got paid at all by Kantar for receiving posting packs, or for posting or receiving items to/from other panellists, I would suggest that Spectos pays better overall. The only minor bugbear is not getting any extra for posting parcels, its just the same as posting a letter bundle. Fortunately my post office is 50 yards down the road from the postbox I use most often. Plus we still get the usual monthly stamps. I have cashed out £50 worth of vouchers since I started with Spectos and am close to another £25 voucher. Its far better paid, parcels excepted, but nobody should be getting more than two a month of those.

And one pack of 3 letters is still only one trip to the postbox - in terms of effort it's no different to posting one letter.
Ditto the parcels - you take one bag to the post office or you take two parcels out of the bag and shove them in the parcel box. Again, it's one trip and one lot of effort.
So far I'm up to £50 of vouchers with just the posting and receiving, without all the faff of having to prepare the letters yourself, which wasn't exactly quick. Which is certainly better than Kantar.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.3
