  • Can you save the stamps up and when you get a load exchange them for cash?

    I was told you can as stamps are currency/legal tender.

    But I have never tried this anyone know?

    I have been doing this survey for a few months now and have not had any problems. So far the most I have had to post in one week is seven items but not all on different days so I can post a lot of them together if that makes sense. I generally have to post on two or three days each week.

    If you are concerned about how legitimate the survey is have a look on the Royal Mail website. If you type "research international" into the search box it brings up some information and links to sign up.

    Hope this helps someone.

    thanks for this, in case any of you are wondering i tried this and here is the info i got, directly from the Royal Mail website, proving this is legit and that whatsherface in customer service obviously wasnt in the know:

    Royal Mail’s Quality of Service

    Research International is the independent company which measures the quality of service provided by Royal Mail. The results – which are fully independent of Royal Mail – are used to help Royal Mail improve further the service it provides to its customers.

    Research International measures Royal Mail’s performance using a large panel of volunteers. A mix of both private individuals and businesses all over the country send test letters to each other and then log on the internet the dates when they posted and received this mail. Some 30,000 test letters are sent each month. Research International, of course, pays all postage costs.

    More volunteers are currently being recruited. If you would like to join Research International’s panel, please contact the research company using the email address below. Remember – this is research which is independent of Royal Mail and Research International will not disclose any personal details of the members of its panel to Royal Mail.

    Yeah, forgot to mention this! :wall:

    Something to note from the website if you didn't know - items must be posted within your area - for instance if your postcode is RG19... you can only post the letters within the RG postcode area. This is a bit unfortunate for those who work in a totally different postal area to their home address and wanted to take part.
