    Hi, I’m just back on the panel and received a package yesterday with 2 books in.  I shredded the letter as soon as I had recorded it.  Does anyone know if the return address is just Freepost Spectos?
     Many thanks in advance

    Well i have found an excellent way of converting my stamps into cash at the full value. I have had to send correspondance to HMRC and always use Special delivery.  However for the last three occasions i used their premier service they have on all three occasions never confirmed delivery and no signature. Its only by phoning HMRC I know they have arrived. 

    So I got £27.75 back by cheque for the three occasions.
    That sounds like a good idea, are you able to share how this works please.  
    I give mine to a couple of local charities but still have a lot in stock.
     Thank you in advance.

    Just back from holiday to find a parcel outside , apparently delivered last week despite booking holiday dates well in advance. Last time they blamed panelists, but what's the point of booking dates when they allow this happen?

    I’ve had that. It’s really annoying. I complained and got told to book holiday 3 weeks in advance, which I had done.

    I've complained too, but I booked dates months ago so they better not quote three weeks to me! Its something I'm especially tetchy about as we were burgled years ago so now go to a lot of effort to make the house look like someone is still home, which is all undone if a parcel left outside in view.

    I'm now back on the main panel, instead of settling me in gently my first posting is a bag of parcels which they've sent me two weeks ahead of the posting date. Good job I was in to receive it!

    Have also been asked to do a Correctly Delivered survey so I'll be busy.

    I signed up to mailagents about a month ago but not heard anything yet Is it usual for them to take a while? I guess its just a case of waiting until they have space?

    I’ve had two lots of reward stamps today, November and December.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
