    I got the Tutankhamun's Tomb presentation pack along with 12 standard and 4 large which I assume are for June as I didn't get any.

    It was a welcome surprise as I was going through my pile of mail... Postie handed me a stack today including 2 test parcels and 4 test letters! Hopefully this is a good indication that I'll be able to get up to 2500 points before my rest break officially starts.

    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...

    Today I get a reply - how many mistakes can you spot?

    Thank you for your message. 

    I am sorry for the confusion this may have caused.

    Items can be allocated and prepared 2- 3 weeks in advance so once your account has been set to rest this is the time it can take for you to stop getting items from us.

    Your account is set to rest the day we send out the communication, we do advise it can take a few weeks for items to stop. If you are unable to post the items then please cross the address out and write FREEPOST SPECTOS on them and send them back to us.

    The item you have to send on 7th July should be your final item to send you may still receive items from other panellist for a little while longer depending on if they send items after there allocated posting date. 

    The reason it is classed as a rest period from the Monday as stated is due to the fact that we have to do this in advance to ensure you don't get allocated any further items. However, when looking at brining you back on from your rest period we start to invite you from 5 weeks in advance to ensure you are allocated the correct items for the correct date to align with your 6 months rest period at a minium.

    Please note the rest period may be longer than 6 months this depends on spaces in your area.

    I hope this information helps.


    No Presentation Pack - but no postie yet  today.   



    I need to think of something new here...

    Anyone else doing Unaddressed Mail this week who still hasn't got it showing on the app?  I did get an email from Spectos which said they were aware there was an issue and my app would be updated soon - 5 days into the two week period already, wondering how exactly they define "soon"?  Fortunately I haven't had any unaddressed mail this week so it will be easy to catch up if or when it eventually appears.

    Looks like Spectos are dishing out old presentation packs. The Tutankhamun stamp set dates from Dec 22 and the Flying Scotman March 23.

    Mine has loaded but the pictures haven’t. There are just empty boxes so can’t tell if my unaddressed items are the designated ones - I suspect they are. I’ve emailed but not had a response.

    Flying Scotsman here too. Must use my rest period to offload some presentation packs I don't want.
