save them. It’s going to cost a stamp or two to post. Wait until you have more.

Selling them to one of the online buyers will only give you about 2/3 of the face value of the stamps. Sometimes you can sell for a bit more on Facebook marketplace, but I didn’t have a lot of luck with that last time I tried. I also jettison some to family and friends for a reduced amount, usually about 3/4.

I usually wait until I have at least £50 worth of the Large 1st to dispose of - and use some of them to pay postage.
I need to think of something new here...2 -
Aren't they annoying when they keep nagging about returning the RFIDs? I've got the general nag in the instant news section, that's fair enough but now I've got a personal one. I haven't got any to post back. I always send them back quickly. They should keep these personal nags for those that really don't send them back. Makes me feel unappreciated!

They are annoying full stop. My peeve is that I have just finished my stint on the panel and have 1200 points, so I’ve no chance of reaching 2500 without doing at 5 addressed or unaddressed surveys. I wish I could cash out at 1000 points.

I have a large green parcel sack to post this Saturday. It feels like there are 2 parcels inside it. I've never posted one of these before - this is my second stint with Spectos but I only had letters to post before. I've just come off my first 6 month rest period.
Am I correct in thinking I hand over the menifest thing and the sack at the post office? Thing I am confused about is there is no address on the tag tied to the closed sack. Is it the case that the post office open it up and send the parcels without any need for an outer address on the sack?
Sorry if this a daft question. I just want to get this right first time.

Yes just that. The sack and the manifest sheet. I worried about it first time too but the guy in the small Post Office, not a main one, knew exactly what it was and just took it, and that was it. I should add that I have no idea what he did with it because I just went.

how soon after being chucked of the main survey should I expect my end of active stamps and collection pack?
