    Not exactly "hidden"

    Just included with a posting bundle which is how they are delivered the vast majority of the time.

    Furthermore if you had properly read your Posting Plan that came with that bundle you will have seen that the "Observations" section says

    "Please see enclosed your stamps for August"

    I have been on rest period for three months and received a test item today. Very odd!

    Hi, I'm a new Mail agent and have a couple of questions:

    • I understand that you get points for returning RFIDs. Is that true? And if so, how long does it normally take to get the points.
    • I'm on my second test bundle, neither containing stamps. When will I receive some?

    Many thanks 🤗

    Points for returning responders get added pretty quickly, presuming they have arrived safe safely.
    I’m not sure on your second question because I’m recently back on the panel as well and I’ve had my stamps already. Although they were well hidden.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have not could of.

    10 points for every RFID returned. They should post within a few days.

    You should receive stamps when you start plus an extra special Royal Mail collection pack. Then stamps once a month. Then when you leave a final set plus another Royal Mail collection pack.

    Many thanks for your replies 🤗

    I posted the RFIDs last Wednesday and no points yet.

    I've checked both bundles and no stamps.

    My 10 points for RFID returns almost always appear the morning after I've posted them back if I beat the last collection time.

    Exception is Friday returns which appear on the Monday.

    Regarding bundles and stamps, IF there are any stamps included the Posting Plan will state this fact in the section marked OBSERVATIONS

    When I'm on the live panel I keep the sheets with the Reference number on until the RFID tag points get added, that way I can keep track of which ones have arrived back with them.
