    I need to send one of the bags containing parcels today. Can't see anywhere what I'm supposed to put on the parcel tag on the bag. I remember it used to be some of the details from the manifest but none of the info looks like the name on the tag. I've emailed but waiting to hear back. I'd appreciate any advice from anyone who's done one recently. Thanks 
    You don’t need to write anything on the tag. Just hand it over as it is. The post office will just keep the sales order sheet.

    Just give them the bag and hand over the sales order(manifest). If they say anything just shrug. I seem to remember there were instructions on the reverse of the schedule with the barcode to be scanned.

    The last ones I had there were no instructions and staff didn't have a clue. As it was a friendly sub post office, I took a picture of the manifest just in case then just left everything with them for them to sort,

  • I've just gone live and had a letter from them today which included my normal monthly stamps and this year's Christmas stamps as my welcome set.

    Cheated is a strong take on it?

    Understandable to feel cheated, some people will never be active when the Christmas stamps are sent, yet do the same amount of work as someone who is always active at that time.

    Agreed. A lot of us just missed out on the Christmas period and are unlikely to get on it for about 5 years. We are treated as second class panellists. Same effort but less reward.
