Does anyone have any future postings showing from the 17th onwards?

I’m not so wondering if I’m due to be rested as I’ve had no new posting dates added for a few weeks now.

I’m expecting a bundle due for posting 27th July

However I need to take my first test package to the post office but it does say if there is a parcel box in the same post code area I could use that. My question is if I live in AB6 and the box is in AB3 area would it be okay to use that?

Yes - any in AB will be fine.

Posting your Items

It is vitally important that you post your items exclusively in your registered postcode area. Therefore you need to post your items only a few streets or so from your home. It's essential for you to follow this requirement as we are measuring the performance in your area. If you post outside of your postcode area this will make your item not valid and we will not be able to evaluate the reported data from your item.

I rarely post anything in my postcode area as they are mostly 9am collections. They have never complained and I have been doing it since they first started. Kantar was anywhere with the B code, we are B36. Some of the B codes just a mile away from us are even in Warwickshire we are West Midlands.

The app agrees with you. It does not make any sense though as the area can be enormous. Take London for example. You could be in SW17 but you decide to post anywhere in SW which is a lot of boxes. Just another area where Spectos are inconsistent.

I am in (for example) Z48. I also post in Z47 because the post office in that area is still only a few streets away. They've not queried it yet.

Opened a ticket to Spectos but I have now resolved this myself.
Apparently according to a recent email from them we should have the facility to close the ticket as COMPLETED , but I can't find how to do this , anyone know ?

I'm just joining the live posting part of the panel so knew I was going to get something from them to send out on 17th July. Took dog for a quick walk earlier and as I was only going locally left small window open at front of the house. Didn't go into that room for about two hours after we came back, just been in there to find a parcel on the floor!  You've guessed it, turned out to be a filled mailbag for me to send on the 17th along with my July stamps.

They want you to type ‘completed’ as a comment within the ticket. They will then close it a few days later.

Although never advised it would appear I am now on the main panel and first bundle to be posted on the 17 July followed by another bundle on the 27 July. I have also been advised I start another UA survey from the 10 July.  

They have included my stamps for July but I understand the presentation stamps will be sent at a later date.

However I need to take my first test package to the post office but it does say if there is a parcel box in the same post code area I could use that. My question is if I live in AB6 and the box is in AB3 area would it be okay to use that?

I’ve been live since March and never got any presentation stamps. I think we only get them on completion of 6 months. If anyone knows any different please say. I raised a ticket but never got a reply!

You should get a set when you start and when you finish. If you have read any of the previous posts you will see it is not running smoothly.

I've just finished my posting and receiving stint (had email19th June informing me that my stint was finished). Posted last bundle 2 days ago, received parcel and letter yesterday.Had no stamps for June, July or presentation stamps?. Poorly run me thinks.

Stamp supply for some people is erratic. Most people got a nice letter with their final stamps soon after they were terminated.

I got my July stamps today. No other post, just the stamps with a small covering letter.

Sorry if this has been answered previously ...

Just had my first bundle to post on 18 July.  Do I need to scan the QRCode whilst actually in situ at the post box or can I wait until I get back home?
