You don't hand over the bag addressed to you.leyw88 said:
Ah, you mean the bag addressed to me? With the manifest and the parcels?NBLondon said:
Hand over the whole bag with the parcels in it and the manifest that comes with them. Then follow the PO clerk's instructions on where to leave the bag.leyw88 said: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.I tried looking on the app for a guide for parcels but I couldn’t find anything, so thank you for explaining
You hand over the pre-tied bag the parcels are in plus the manifest form.1 -
It is covered in the app.At the bottom is FAQ.That takes you to FAQs abd turorials. The video you need is in tutorials. You newbies have a lot of homework to do.leyw88 said:

I have also received an email today telling me I’m about to start my rest period after being on the live panel for about 6 weeks and only posting 1 bundle (with another due to be posted this week). 🤦♀️1

You hand over the pre-tied bag the parcels are in plus the manifest form.I got a big grey bag addresses to me and inside are 2 parcels (looks like books) and a manifest.

I am not familiar with post offices. The tutorial I watched is very basic and I didn’t feel it helped explain.HonestJohn said:

Currently, on my rest period but when on the live panel I did receive pre tied grey mail sacks with parcels in. Which I left at the post office along with the manifest.leyw88 said:

Thank you for explaining. I only received a plastic grey bag with the loose parcels. No mail sack. I’m a little confused. I may reach out to them directly.Graceglow said:

No problem. If in any doubt the tutorials in the FAQ section explain most things clearly.leyw88 said:

They were my 1st point of reference when I was a new panelist.1 -
Yesterday was the start of week 5 & new items have appeared. 1 still showing in overdue despite reporting not receivedpodmonster said:
I'm now into week 4 of UA and the daily items entry field is still appearing. Plus there are new item pictures in the Due tab!KMoney_Grabber13579 said:
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).HonestJohn said:
Not correctquoia said:HonestJohn said:
'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.HomingPigeon said: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
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 finished1. 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.0 -
Just a note to advise all you good peeps to check that the little brown envelope with RFID is sealed properly before popping it back into the postbox.
Over the last couple of weeks I've had 2 that were not sealed at all.4
