I'm looking at the sign up form, and it asks if we can receive large parcels. I can, but I was just wondering how frequent these are, and approx how large they tend to be please? Also, is the stuff they send empty usually? Thanks

I've received one book so far so they are definitely sending them out 😀

I have 2 book parcels bagged and ready to send out this week. Maybe one of you will receive them!

So people on the panel send the parcels to others on the panel etc.? That’s a good idea - I’d thought it’d be like a massive distribution hub they go to and from

Yep, it works in exactly the same way as the letters, which are posted to and received from other members of the panel.

I only recently joined Spectos, did one Correctly Delivered survey but haven't sent or received anything yet.

This morning I've received a letter from them with the stamps for February, rather ironically the envelope was damaged and arrived in one of the Royal Mail apology plastic bags!

I am on my 2nd CDS and I also received stamps thanking me for being a sender for 27 Feb which I wasn't and never have been, but I'm not going to complain, I'm very grateful!

I have sent one jiffy bag containing a book so far but haven't received any myself yet.  Shame as I am dying to see what books I get

I know! It's so tantalising knowing there are books in the Jiffy bags and not knowing what they are!!

Some books are quite heavy, I hope they are putting enough postage on.

I have a mailbag ready to go tomorrow, which is heavier than a Kantar one (which is also to go tomorrow...)   The manifest says Small Parcel - declared Avge Weight = 1000g  so a paperback instead of a polystyrene square should still be in the weight range.
