Quick question - i've been doing this for a good few months now and have accumulated a mass of stamps ! I'm sure I read somewhere that the PO buy them back but i've just been in and asked and they said no ! I'm sure I spoke to a chap at Research International too and he said they buy them back as well - or have I got it totally wrong ? lol

TIA xx

i rang up the royal mail and they do buy the stamps back less 15% handling fee.

you need to get a form from your post office and send them off and they will send you a cheque less the 15% handling fee

i would send them by recorded delivery or get a proof of postage to prove that yopu send them in case they go astray in the wonderfull mailing system that we have

I've tried to jion. Not to have a go at the postmen, i think they do well. I'm just bored on maternity leave, so trying to get a freebie or two.

I don't think it has to be every friday tbh,its just handy once a week and friday seems a good day to do so.I don't think it says anywhere in the training that it HAS to be a friday

Hi, where do you get the forms from? the PO?
I asked at my local PO if they bought back stamps and she laughed at me and said no

I got my pack for week 4 in the post today but still no more stamps, maybe next week I'll get them then????

According to Kantar, Friday or Saturday is fine, what ever is suitable to yourself. I post mine on a Friday one week, and Saturday the next week.

hardly received any test items this week and not many smarts compared to usual. Anyone else noticed this?

This will happen from time to time. There are some weeks when I only recieve 2 items, and only have to post one item. (Nothing to worry about).
