Ohhh, just had a fab book delivered - and actually looks unused / unread. 
Also received one of my 'missing' items to post - but still have one missing which is due to send beforehand

I haven't started my 'stint' yet but am interested what you have to do with the book that has been delivered; do you have to send it on somewhere?

Just as a matter of interest how long does it take to earn £25?  I'm a complete newbie - have only just been asked to do my first task, correctly delivered mail ...

I signed up end of Oct last year, started receiving letters mid Feb and the first bundle I sent was end of March. I am now doing the correct delivery survey as well and I am almost half way to the first £25. 

It will depend on how many letters / bundles you get, I don't seem to get that many. I live in a small town.

I suggest all newbies read through this forum before posting. Most of your queries will have been answered already.

If you like the book, you can keep it

If you feel like this book would make somebody happy, you can give it to this person.

If you want to support a local charity, you can donate it

Or, you can simply return it to us by putting it in a bag and writing on it “Freepost SPECTOS” and posting it to us.

Me too - my second mailbag of April which is very obviously a hardback book.

But there's an oddity...  The Posting Plan lists two bundles for 11th and 13th April - but the first of these is struck out with a marker pen and only one mailbag in the box.  The app lists both of them.

So I've reported it as arriving and for the first time got to say that I didn't receive two items and filled in details of what I did get.  Let's see if it disappears from the app before Tuesday....    The app also thinks I have another bundle to go on Wed 12th - but no sign of that.

Just earned my second £25.

Next week for mine 

Just cashed in my 9600 points ie £96 from Kantar was very nice for 2 x 6 months. Good to see Spectos pays out. Started reading from page 1 John

Has anyone heard anything back from Spectos about the issues with the UM survey? Mine is still stuck on Mon 3 April! I’m making a note of what if anything arrives after that. I don’t know what more we can do. Last time there were problems with the survey they sent out a general email.

I am wondering if it is not showing any more days because I have no pictures of items due this week, although we are supposed to be recording all unaddressed mail not just that delivered by Royal Mail so there really should be data entry...

I’ve still got pictures of items due. Typically, the UM that was due arrived on Tuesday 4 April! The first day that wasn’t showing!

So far I have received books by Cecelia Ahern, Anne Bronte and Danielle Steel so an eclectic selection.  Not precisely to my taste these days, but our local Coop take books to sell for charity - the money goes to our local foodbank so a really good cause.

is anyone else getting loads of items to post from Spectos?, I have received 11 items today, one a parcel, to be posted in the next 10days, never had this many from Kantar!

I've just come over from Kantar and am on a rest period until November. Is anyone else on a rest period?

Yes, having come off a 9-month stint with Kantar. I’m just lurking here with popcorn while I watch the chaos. Sorry folks, I do feel for you, just very glad I’m on a rest period at the moment! Hoping by the time I am back on the live panel all will be sorted!

Yay a fellow rester. When are you re-starting? It's very interesting reading all the posts. Quite intrigued by 'the book' though! We didn't have any books at Kantar. 

Couldn’t make it up though…Spectos have now run out of books so it’s back to polystyrene again!
