    You can officially ignore the "transponder to be returned" notification.

    That aspect of the app is broken/a known issue and has been since they introduced it

    It’s a known problem. Sometimes it goes the other way and it’s asking you for seven when you’ve only got four
     I still seem to get the correct points, regardless of the numbers on the app. 
    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.

    Thanks! 
    I presume there are some parts which do work! 😆😆😆

    I noticed today that the posting times on my postbox have been updated to 9am/7am (from 4:15pm/11:30am) but looks like RM have put the plate on the wrong box. There is a postbox 0.5mi away with these times.

    Just hope it is a mistake and these are not the new times!

    The times on the Royal Mail app are still the "old" times and today's "Next Collection" plate still says today...

    I took a picture and reported to Spectos anyway. 

    Spectos don't seem to display the postbox IDs in the app like Kantar used to do so I can't tell if it's a mistake or not.

    If you look at the map in the app which shows the locations of post boxes/offices  they are included there.

    When you post an item, the ID is the first part of the address of the post box in the drop down list.

    Apparently I am on the rest rest period as of today. Although I still have things to post and receive. Nothing like a bit of advance warning.  
    And me as well.  I emailed back pointing out that I had 3 bundles left for June (though one isn't actually here yet)  and 2 for July - so should I expect the July ones to disappear?


    And I got a reply...
    Hello,

    Thank you for your message. 

    I can confirm this is correct you will still get items for a few weeks as all our items are prepared in advance if possible please log these normally.

    Regards,

    Kirsty

    Which doesn't really answer the question about the July ones.  So I have pointedly replied that if I am to post bundles on 6th July, then my rest period begins 7th July not 19th June as the first e-mail said.   Do I get incentive stamps for July?  Probably not.... the video says a set of stamps plus Presentation Pack so that should either be in a July bundle or on the way now.  Wonder which of us will get it first...

    On a separate note...  my outgoing bundle for next week is 2 letters to Jersey again.  That's rather more in this session than I ever had from Kantar so that must be a route that is being tested.  I don't think I've ever had one to or from Man though.
    I need to think of something new here...
