    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.

    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.
