    I haven't had any stamps yet for December yet. 
    This week I have three items to post (on time) but I have apparently not received some which should have been posted already. I know it's a generic note but I hate getting these messages because I always deal with everything as soon as it arrives. Maybe today's post will bring something - if I get any delivery that is.
    My sister sent them a message to say she had not received any stamps for November and December. They told her if she did not receive them in the next few days to let them know and they would send some more. She did receive hers 2 days later. I would just send them a message.
  • I now have 4 weeks worth of bundles to post, 3 of which will be posted late. I had a bundle for the week before Christmas and the week between Christmas and the new year, neither of which arrived in time. Today, I received 2 further bundles, one which should have been posted before last collection this morning (so that will have to wait til next week) and another to be posted next week (so that’s the only one which will be posted on time). 

    More bad news is that my local post box has disappeared (all that is left of it is the post it was mounted on) so that makes it a lot more difficult now…

    Similar here. I wish they had a more sophisticated nagging system …

    Same here, they keep asking me about one that should have been posted on 12th Dec!! Still not received anything in the post. (I have emailed them to let them know.)

    I think Spectos might have ran out of RFID’s! 

    Just received a bundle to post next week and none of the envelopes seem to have RFID’s inside as they look and feel like there’s only a sheet of paper inside. 
    Not necessarily. RFID tags can be printed onto flat labels (we use them a lot at work). These would just stick onto a single sheet so you wouldn’t realise that they were there.

    Yesterday, like others, I was throughout the day sent reminders to post items. I've already got another two reminders today..... It's made me come on to the tutorial videos and see that the updated version of the App should let me see what items I should be expecting to post etc but my phone still has the old 'basic' App. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mailagents app but an still only getting the old app (no option of correctly delivered etc) - version 1.3.0. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

    I have the same - 1.3.0 and no option to upgrade further.   I'm on Android - don't know if they release Apple and Android versions at the same time.
    I need to think of something new here...

    I don't think you can print RFIDs like the Kantar/Spectos version. Theirs are battery powered. Nobody waves these at a reader. They have to be detected from a bigger distance.
    I think  there is a shortage as they are having to spread the stock over two companies now. Problems only occured when Spectos came onto the scene.

    Same for me too. Mine's an Apple (not the latest though!)
    My Christmas stamps and regular stamps arrived today along with a Bundle that should have been posted on Dec 19th! I will be more than glad when post deliveries are back to normal.
