    Has anyone moved house on the Panel (to a totally different area). If so, how did it go.

    Did I do something wrong here? 

    Had 2 parcels to send, took them to the post office- paid for obviously not tracked. They kept trying to scan the square QR code on the package and it kept giving them an error (the square you scan usually to recover an item on the app)

    At first they wouldn’t take them, then they did giving me a proof of postage which I wasn’t thinking I needed either.

    I thought I’d just go up, drop them off into the big bags for parcels and then pop it in the app. But the whole activity today made me think if I had a lot more it would be suspicious and they might catch on

    If you have a bag to send, the Post Office should never see the Spectos form that it seemed you used as that reveals you are on the panel

    There should be another piece of paper and that is what you use at the Post Office (some form of RM sales order summary - can't recall the exact name)

    Ahh I didn’t send the bag I sent them as single parcels. I thought I didn’t need to take the manifest as a result so I didn’t show anything.

    thanks for that I’ll know for the future

    You only take them out of the bag if you're putting them into a designated parcel post box. If you're handing them in at a Post Office Counter then you leave them in the bag. Give them the bag and the manifest which has a different barcode to scan.
  • I was just thinking today that Spectos had been very quiet of late. Turns out that all of their emails to me since the end of July have been redirected to junk, so who knows what I’ve missed. Know someone else and all their emails were directed to junk too. Both use outlook email addresses so anyone else with such email addresses and not receiving anything from Spectos might want to check their junk folders.

    Not sure what happened at the end of July to throw all the emails into junk.

    Anyone won the 30 points for the survey we filled in several weeks ago ?
    I never got that email, was it really only 30 points reward? I wonder if that's a mistake and it should've read 300 points.
    I’ve had 30 points credited this morning for the mailagent app survey.

    I'm excited to have got the 300 points for the current UA - even though it's still live on the app as this is the 5th week?
    I need to think of something new here...
