Spectos/Royal Mail Monitoring and Posting Panel

no, we’re not that high-tech where I am.

Our nearest box is built into someone's wall! - it only takes letters! The next closest is at a post office location in a stationary store and appears to be made of cardbord. I don't think we are in a hightech area either!

I only have little tiny post boxes near me, the ones which are mounted on posts. I don’t think any of them are getting converted so I’ll just have to continue using the parcel box near my office.

Some dipstick keeps jamming parcels that are too big in my nearest parcel box, which means you can’t use it anyway half the time.

I'll be back on the active panel in a week or so after a slightly longer than expected rest period.  The points history is helpful in seeing how long my break actually was; I last posted on 29th April and last received a test item on 3rd May.  My Welcome Pack arrived - Christmas 2025 presentation pack - and first month of usual stamps (I'm assuming these are for January).

Don't think any of us have had the January stamps yet ?
My last ones I received was in November for December before we received the Christmas bonus stamps end of November.

Is anyone else waiting for points for an unaddressed mail survey in December? I received the CDS points straight away, I have sent a couple of messages but no answer as yet.

I've just finished both surveys too. The addressed one always pays immediately. They do warn that the unaddressed one takes time while they check it. They appear to be short staffed and taking time to do everything at the moment.

There is a message on the app today saying the points will be added soon. I have been on the survey for many years I have never known it take this long.

I completed the unaddressed survey yesterday and my 300 points were added this afternoon. 

So can’t fault the service today.
