    Is receiving 1 test item, and posting 1 bundle of test items per week the norm? I vaguely remember there being more to receive/send last year. 
    I seem to be getting a bundle every 7 to 10 days but not receiving as many test letters. So on the basis that I am sending out two or three letters a week other people must be receiving more test letters than I am.

    I was getting a single bundle to send per week and was sending parcels but only ever got letters.  Assumed it’s location dependent but no jiffy bags or parcels were ever sent to me.

    I have 1-2 bundles to post each week but am receiving a lot of items - at least 12 a week, sometimes more.

    Similar for me, highest was 7 items in one day with postal survey items typically received 4 days a week.
    Just posted my last bundle and now resting

    They still do packages even if not the cubes. You can't opt to only do letters.

    Blasted app is doing it again. Parcel that came while I was on holiday, but it won’t let me put in I don’t know when it came. It’s insisting on a date and won’t let me do a guesstimate of the date and ticking the not a clue box. 
    Anyone else having issues?

    In my experience you can’t estimate a date and tick the not a clue box, it’s one or the other.
