    I feel a bit cheated - never had any of the 'sacks' that others seem to have had to post.  One last bundle (1 whole letter to post) and that may be it as I am already on my rest period - although I did receive an unexpected 'test item' today ...

    Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.

    I would opt out of sacks if I could. Kantar paid well for them but with Spectos you get no more than letters etc. Usually have to get the car out to post them so out of pocket.

    So agree with this.

  • Does anyone know why some postboxes have a D after their ID number?

    Does anyone know why some postboxes have a D after their ID number?
    No, but I have wondered as there’s a D at the end of the one I post 99% into. It’s an old GR one in a garden wall.
  • My local box is a very small box on a stick. I wondered if that's why it has a D on the end.

    When I registered a posting this morning, the box that came up on the app didn't have a D on the end. The rest of the ID number was correct.

    Wow, I actually received my final stamps and presentation pack today - Flowers - I was expecting to wait ages for them, given Spectos' normal speed at getting anything sorted out.  I would expect the rest of you who have been with the panel since the beginning to get your resting notices very soon, unless of course they cannot find a substitute panellist in your postcode area - I understand rural areas can be problematic for attracting panellists.
    2020 Wins:
  • I thought the D indicated that it was a box which was "collect on delivery"  I.e not be 9am etc.
  • Thanks Mailserver. It shows a collection time of 9am, except for Saturdays when it is 7am. However my postie once told me I'd be okay to post in it until 10am and still meet that morning's collection time.
  • I got an email yesterday evening inviting me to take part in a CDM survey which was supposed to start yesterday.
