Me too. Have done a few CD surveys for Kantar (but never had a UA). Seems odd that RM are paying twice for the same info.

They may want to compare the two sets of results from the same area..  If there is a big difference then questions would be asked of Spectos.  We don't know if RM are paying twice - Spectos may be taking (some of)  the costs of the parallel running as part of the deal.

I'm doing the extended Kantar unaddressed and correctly delivered surveys but have not yet been asked to do either by Spectos.

I received the email which referred to doing the extended unaddressed mail and correctly delivered surveys and filled in the questionnaire saying I was willing to do both. But the only survey invite I ever actually received a few days later was for unaddressed mail, so don’t know if I’m doing correctly delivered on not (presume not as I didn’t ever get an actual invite for it).

I've received a test item and the enclosed information sheet asks me to record the postage amount but there is no amount shown on the envelope - it just says "whistl, delivered by Royal Mail, C9 10002". How do I record it please?

From the 1/12/22 newsletter

"Quick tips

When you report a test letter, and you need to add the postage, but there are only stamps, please select “I don’t know / not indicated”. Please use “Other” only if there is another postage shown on the envelope than those proposed."

From the above I conclude that they only want the postage recorded for account mail.
In your example I choose "I don’t know / not indicated”

Nothing though about any reimbursement for having to travel to the post office or parcel postbox though…it would need to be better than the standard 35 points!

Thank you for your help, HJ. The information sheet has the following printed at the top left-hand corner:

S-120409   B-C14234
C5    1st    Whistle

I wonder if this is an account number - the envelope size is C5 and the postage 1st class? Would you still record it as "I don't know/not indicated"? I don't know much about it but I think that if you have an account you get postage cheaper than if you use stamps for posting.
