I never read the paperwork in that much detail. I just check when it needs to be posted and that’s it.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Given your signature "Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of."
Surely attention your detail is something you pride yourself in .....
The POSTING PLAN has a section titled OBSERVATIONS
Mostly it is left blank but about 20% of the time it will contain ...

It's interesting that there is such a disparity in different areas. I signed up and then was contacted to be on the panel straight away. I do live in a fairly rural area but there is a pretty significant town just a few miles away so you would think they would have a lot of panellists.marlot said:I've been signed up and ready for work since October 2024. I've done a few unaddressed mail surveys, and a couple of correctly addressed, but I've not been called up for the main panel yet. So frustrating!
Thanks for all the help everyone, particularly on the 'what to do with paperwork' query. I'll probably hang onto it for a month or so until the recycling bin is getting picked up. :-)1 -
Just a note to mention that if anyone is thinking of selling some surplus stamps on eBay, please don't forget to send by a trackable method.
I've sold loads of low value stuff on eBay over the years and used ordinary (untracked) post with no problems.
The stamps are the most expensive thing I've ever sold on eBay. I've had a message from the buyer, saying the stamps haven't arrived.

That's good for proof of delivery but I believe stamps are an excluded item for lost/damaged in transit. So might not have helped if the buyer is being honest and not mislaid them.HomingPigeon said:Just a note to mention that if anyone is thinking of selling some surplus stamps on eBay, please don't forget to send by a trackable method.

I use this company to sell stamps and highly recommend them. Great communication and your money is in the bank the same day the stamps arrive.HomingPigeon said:Thank you, I may take a look there.
