Fed up of postie? Help is here... (merged)

Hi Everyone,
I have received my pack today as well. Thanks a lot OP.

One thing that I didn't get was the part where they say:
"As a minimum we will need you to post test items at one post box and one of any of the following: post office, or sub post office, or sorting office. "
I don't understand the final part. What do they mean by having to post in a post office, sub post office or sorting office? Do I need to go inside the post office and give the letter to the employee there? Or should I just put it in the post box outside the store?

It would be great to get some help on this, since I am afraid of doing this wrong. It seems quite strange for me to go inside the post office and give the letter to the person there as I don't need a stamp and there's a post box right outside the door.

Many thanks for any help

Hi

I've been doing this for a few weeks now, and only once was i asked to post at a post office, they say it's fine to post it in the post box outside.

Quote below from the websites FAQ

12. Do I need to hand my test items over the counter at the Post Office?

No you do not need to hand them over the counter, it is fine to post them in the post-box outside.

HTH

Many thanks to both of you

Just another question, isn't it a bit dangerous to tell them when we are going on holidays? I tend to not give that information to anyone so I don't feel comfortable with it. Do I really need to do it?

Thanks!

Is it true you can only use postboxes in your own postal area? I haven't got a post office within easy reach during the day in my postal code, but there's one literally 5 minutes walk away from my house that's just over the postcode border - it's so close that I only realised it was in a different postcode when I went to get the postbox number. Would it be OK to use it? Will the system allow me to register it as one of my postboxes? I can't get to speak to anyone on the phone to ask.

I registered yesterday and got the pack today with stamps. This is brilliant. I've got to post 2 letters next week for them. It's not much hassle really. :j

you wait till you get more mail arriving.:rolleyes:

its poorly paid and they dont do what they say they will their e mail system is a shambles they have major problems their end. They lost alot of my emails and the last 2 they havent answered plus you can never get thru on the phone. Not worth the bother. Their refer a friend is badly worded too. I am going to find out if its classed as homeworking. If so they are underpaying. Arent there laws for homeworkers now about pay?

the first two letters of your postcode is the area in which you can post in.
