I've raised a ticket asking Spectos what they would like me to do with it. Told them that if it was from them, they need to decide and let me know. If it isn't from them, or they don't know, then I won't be paying or collecting the item.
”You can pick up the item from your delivery office.
If it turns out to be a test item from mailagents, we would reimburse you with the equivalent points added to your account.
In this case, please send us a clear photo of the envelope and the i.code as well. ”
I wasn’t expecting anything I had ordered, am 99% sure it’s from them so I used my existing stamps to pay to have it re-delivered.Working on the basis that it’s one way of having some of my huge surplus of stamps transferred into cash I can use for something else.I’m a Senior Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Competition Time, Site Feedback and Marriage, Relationships and Families boards.

I get a couple a year and never pay them (lucky none whilst being on the panel, so far)...I know you can go and look at the item by going to the sorting office, but the opening hours are so short now at mine I can never get there to do that...Wish they'd just promise to pay it regardless so I know.0 -

3 scenarios:
1. It is connected to spectos and they reimburse me. Neutral, other than inconvenience.
2. It's mail that I have no interest in paying to receive. I lose.
3. It's mail I want. In this scenario it can go back to sender and they can send again with the correct postage.
For those saying pay with stamps, I have 1st class (£1.35) and large first class (£2.10). I don't have a combination that reaches £1.50. I'm not going to waste a more expensive stamp to be reimbursed £1.50.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

I can only imagine that this is another glitch with their app.New Feature- Package Timetable
You may have seen that there is a package timetable that is now showing on the app.
In the future, we will use this for you to see any overdue Sender Packs that you have not logged as received.
We know that this is showing some old data on people's accounts. Please disregard this section of the app until we let you know that its full functionality is up and running.
