Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

@silvercar - sorry to hear that, that seems pretty unfair / disproportionate, especially if you have reported in relation to the UA items featured in the due items. 
I'm supposed to be 'active' shortly, for my first round with Spectos, having been resting since Kantar stopped.  I'd been on the Kantar survey for years so it will be interesting to experience the differences.  Reading everyone's posts here I am not filled with hope - it seems pretty chaotic!  I haven't quite got my head around the reward structure...  During my rest period, I received a few books of stamps with apologies for these not being sent out.  I thought maybe the rewards were more generous than Kantar in that stamps are still provided during the rest period (which makes up a bit for the lower rewards for UA and CD, tut) but reading here it seems this was an error!  Will be interesting!

Thanks for replies, all.

I know it’s covered somewhere but please can someone explain the unaddressed mail survey?

For weeks 4 & 5 do you still have to record each day’s post (or enter 0 if none is delivered)?

TIA. x

'You will take part for 5 weeks. In the first 3 weeks you will be reporting on items due delivery to you and in the final 2 weeks you will be reporting on items received late or not at all.' I think the app asks for all UA to be recorded as well.

It's only 2 weeks (weeks 2 & 3) of filling in the DAILY DELIVERIES 

Week 1 is before it actually "starts"
My UA surveys have ONLY ever appeared  on the app on the Monday of week 2
During week 1 all you are supposed to do is keep ALL UA mail and not discard it until you can check it against the images of the expected items just in case something arrives early. Ideally you should record the date each "early" item arrived so you can report this.

Weeks 4 & 5 only actually "really exist" IF you still have a Pictured item that hasn't turned up.
As soon as "DUE" and "Overdue" are both empty then you've finished

Not correct

1. Due items:

Every Monday, pictures of items due for delivery to you will be available for you to view and enter information about. This will continue for three weeks.

2. Overdue items:

Items that were due for delivery to you in previous weeks but have not yet been reported as received will appear in this section.

Yep, this is my understanding as well. 3 weeks of filling in information about daily deliveries and confirming whether we have received the pictures items and then 2 weeks of a catch up for any pictures items delivered late (it’s not clear if they also want daily delivery info in this time or not).

I fill in the daily delivery boxes until they disappear. If there is anything in the overdue box and I haven't had it (so far I have done 2 surveys and not received any of the pictured items) I mark it as not received straight away - that's my understandng from the tutorial but I may be wrong.  As I say for me it's a bit hypothetical as the expected items have never turned up.

Well that was exciting - posted my first ever bundles on 18 July (after signing up at the end of March) and have just had an e-mail to tell me that my rest period is starting today! Oh well, at least I should make my first voucher at the end of next week with the completion of the CDM survey.

I, like a lot of people, am finding it difficult to understand what is going on.

Hi,

Can I just confirm if I need to post some parcels, I just hand them in at the post office counter. I don’t need to pay as they already have the sticker with the details on the front? 

They look to big to fit in the postbox and post office is quite far away. 

elsien

Yep, just hand  them over
