You need at least 3 boxes.

Although I've no idea why they keep sending me those massive plastic bags

This seems quite good, two books of stamps to send letters and log it on a website, but some people seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

You are required to register at least one postbox in your postal area (the letter(s) before the numbers) and post between 1pm and last collection. Don't go mad and register tons of them (you can do up to 10) just ones easy for you to post to in an afternoon. They mention about registering a post office/sorting office etc which I assume is usually because they have more collections.

You can log the daily task on the website at any time after you've posted. So if the site is slow, come back later. If you have queries, read the FAQ on the site, its got a lot of answers.

Remember you are only getting paid stamps equiv of just over an hour's minimum wage a month, so if it takes you more than a few minutes each time, then you need to think whether its worth it.

Hi,

The brown enverlopes are for returning extra SMARTS you may have you only need approx 3.

The large plastic enverlopes are for other items that you are returning to them.

All this info is on the Smarts rotation instrution leaflet.

I've been doing this for four months and it's now starting to get tedious. I have too many postage stamps which I can't find a use for, and the times of posting is getting inconvenient.

The FAQ does say you don't have to post exactly on the time

I didn't expect to get a load of junk mail too. Apparently I should be able to recognise the test ones from my normal mail but I can't. The training help pages never worked for me, so I still don't really know what I'm doing properly.

The should have the test initials you specified on (check the website if you've forgotten what you put. On the training it never worked for me either :rolleyes:

Will they stop sending me stuff if I put myself on holiday setting? I need a break from it.

I believe so, also as it says to post the following week if you forget, you could just "forget" for a week or two :rotfl:. Whats the worst they can do - stop using you? Well you have enough stamps already .

Its an electronic box that records its journey through the postal system.

I can only say the same as nic_c go and read the Q&A page. I think some have joined not really understanding what's involved.

Hiya, Ive been doing this for about 2 months, but due to my job becoming full-time, I will no longer have the time or flexibility to do this. Does anyone know how you go about un-registering??
