Today, Spectos sent me two bundles in the same envelope.  Since they are for the same week it makes sense but of course, I only get 25 points for reporting the arrival of both - whereas this week I had 3 going out on Monday all sent separately at 25 points each.

Still - that puts me over 2500 for the second time since I started 

Same for me - except I have three bundles in the same envelope. Hmm.

Also today I received a paperback book in a box that would have held at least twenty! Luckily I was at home  to receive the parcel.

Got the same box. Decent books today including an Ian Rankin Rebus. Postie overloaded with all my stuff. Must be the Easter rush.

Got a bundle today for week after next. I have some items which are due to post next week, but not all. So either the posting schedule is amiss - or something is lost in the post.

After having posted that I haven’t been too busy with Spectos, they seem to have realised and are now piling it on. Have got 5 trips to make to a post box/parcel box the week after next, with 2 of postings seeming to be parcels.

Still no response as to whether I can put them in a post box, if they will fit.

I haven’t yet had any complaint when I did exactly that on Monday.

@Saetana i think ones are showing up for packages still due. I'm sure they'll tweak the timing eventually. I'm taking the view that as long as i know I'm up to date, that's what matters. 

Had my first book today, an author I've read in the past but not really my thing now.

Activity deff seems to be ramping up in April but scanning the QC and seeing the points add up feels more rewarding than Kantar and the QC is far easier than typing the R number and RFID in. Thumbs up from me so far.

The two transponders outstanding have disappeared today, it went up to three and then I marked one as being sent back today - when I next loaded the app the other two had gone. I had my first posting pack today with three bundles, usually I only get one at a time so yeah definitely ramping up now the survey has started properly.

I had that last week - the bundles which were letters arrived ahead of the bundles which were packages.   My guess is they are made by different teams and sent out separately.

@NBLondon must admit I was quite pleased with the size of box my post sack came in, decent useful size for reuse. Fingers crossed for a few more of those.

one package today, they’re getting crafty 😂

Due to an unexpected trip to A&E last Sunday, I was unable to take my two parcels to the post office on the 3rd to post.

Because next Monday is Bank Holiday, this means that they will end up being posted two weeks late which is obviously very late.

I did email Spectos to explain and in the six months that I've been on the panel, this is the first time that I have not done something correctly.

They haven't replied to my email and I'm worried that this will cause me to be dropped from the panel.

Would appreciate any opinions on this.
