    I am slightly baffled, but I have had three copies of one leaflet, two copies of two others, all delivered by the postie, and none of them showing up on my items due tab. 
    Which does rather feel as if it defeats the objective of monitoring what Royal Mail are doing. Same up in last time, I did the unaddressed mail survey as well. Seems there’s a bit of miscommunication going on there somewhere. 
    I've never recieved a single copy of any of the featured leaflets in 4 (now on my 5th) UA surveys.  That said I am fairly convinced that the majority of them are fake - on this survey I would say only one of the 4 is actually in circulation.
    My experience is that only one per week is fake

    Mine too - my recent UA survey I only had one which I didn't receive and which looked fake so I wasn't really expecting it.

    It's daft that you can't report multiple copies of an unlisted item because that's an indicator of the local depot getting it wrong (or if they come on the same day perhaps posties just shoving them though to get the weight of the bag down quicker).  You could, I guess, raise it as ticket with photos of the leaflets - but would Spectos do anything with that info? 
    I need to think of something new here...

    That sounds about right to me - the same fake ones keep appearing every time so it's obvious now.  In my last 3 UA, I'd say half of the others appear and half don't.

    Today I got my first repeated book in a test package....  There have been a couple that I already owned but this is the first where it was a book that I'd read when Spectos sent it to me last year  :)

    My CD survey requests come through the app whilst UA come by email.
    I wonder if the CD is more area specific, so they are using the application, rather than a general email.

    I’ve just checked my emails and I had an email invite for the last correctly delivered one back in February.

    Stamps arrived! I guess with the price of postage increasing they are now worth more.

    Darn it - I know I recorded yesterday's UA of 0 but when I went back in today it said I hadn't!  Wonder if I'll get away with re-recording it at 4.30pm today? Wish me luck.
