    I get Personnel Today which is also boring but have been receiving Hello Magazine now for a few weeks and this weeks had a free t-shirt inside it as an added bonus. I am not sending that back to them

    OK, I was starting to think that I was the only one getting a boring one: "Motor Transport", but "Trout & Salmon" doesn't sound very exciting! :D

    On the sending out test letters i wonder why they ask for it to be from a post office sometimes,i mean what difference does it make which post box its posted from:confused:

    The post from the Post office is always collected eg it goes off to the main depot and then on to whoever the letters are for. One of my postboxes had not been emptied for about a month. The survey only found out when they called me asking when I had posted a particular letter. It seemed such a shame that this box hadn't been emptied for a month or so as it is right in front of an old folks home and could have had birthday cards or letters to their families.

    Anyone else had this email?
    Dear Panellist,
    From 13th June 2008, you will have received magazine test items either for Investors Chronicle and/or Marketing Week, which you will continue to receive for the next Four weeks. These magazine test items look like the items you may usually identify as an item without an R number. However, they contain something additional.

    Did anyone else get this email but has not received any copies of Investors Chronicle and/or Marketing Week in the last two weeks or is it just me?!

    (If you do get them, what day do they normally come? Friday?)

    Regards
    Sunil

    I take it we have to return the magazines as normal then? I got Good Food today and my OH is pestering me for it.. I said she could read it over the weekend but she can't tear out recipes - she'll have to photocopy any she wants!! Also, it had no R number but when entering it on site they didn't give me a yellow sticker number - I guess because I entered issue number etc.. they don't need one.

    The reason for posting in specific boxes is some boxes do not get emptied when they should, also there are some suspect posties around, like my former postie who, and I can prove it stole some mail. I know this because I sent myself a test item which to this day has not arrived yet, I posted the item 3 months ago!!!!!:confused:
    Like good food and drink?

    I emailed RI today as I hadn't received my stamps and they informed me that I had been placed on their reserve list as there were too many people doing it in my area. Oh well I got a few free stamps anyway
    Addicted to comping. Thank you to all who post comps xx

    I have been thrown off, no longer needed in my postcode area. I dont understand why seeing as they just sent me £6 vouchers and asked me to do the survey. :confused:

    Oh well I got loads of stamps and was getting sick of it anyway they were starting to send me so much and wanted stuff posted twice a day!!
