i would just like to say ive been a member of this for 3 months now,every month i do receive my stamps but once again u do have to mail between 2-10 letters a week its a bit much when urve got 3 letters to post on the same day but have to be posted at different times. I must post on average 20-25 letters per week now and its all getting soooooo confusing i also have to enter all the letters i receive and they can be up to 10 a week, im still deciding whther to cancel. I have heard that after a year they do send you other stuff out as a thankyou not sure wat someone said about limited addition stamps and stuff. Also i have just been invited for a survey sort of thing (i think its a survey) to receieve £6 i will tell ya when it all comes to light. Also another good thing is as soon as you have trouble just email them and they get back to u straight away so thats good.If anyone has any questions that u may need answering about this site please feel free to pm me and i may be able to help x

I am a bit surprised about the amount of letters you have to post too! :eek: I am still on 2 letters a week (think its week 5 next week) but if I have to do 20-25 letters after a few months then I will have to rethink carrying on!

I have to say, that 25 letters a week is more like a job not a volunteer thing. Worth a bit more than £3.84 a month (12 x 32p stamps)

I want to do this, but not if it takes over. It has to fit in around me not me fit around it.

I've said this before but for the benefit of those who didn't read it - I've only ever had to do 3 in one week on two occasions, then the following week I only get one, I usually have two to post every week and I've been doing it since November.

Stamps are 34p and you get 18 1st class = £6.12 But still not much for posting 25 letters a week.

I started doing this 3 weeks ago. I have so far had 2 letters to post each week.

However, they have to be posted from within your post area and on certain days/times. e.g. this week I had two, one to post on Monday "after 1pm and before the final collection" and the same again on Tuesday.

It all depends on your lifestyle, proximity to a postbox and when postboxes empty.

e.g. if the last posting time in your area is 5.30 but you actually work 8 miles away and leave work between 5-6pm then you just can't do it.

So it is more for people with steady, regular, local lives - especially if you can see the posting box from your window - rather than people like me whose lives change regularly/weekly/monthly.

I'll do it until it is a nuisance. But so far had to take the car out on 3 occasions specifically to post the letter.

I've read a few people complaining about the survey teams response to emails, just wanted to add that I've emailed them with three different questions in the last two weeks since starting and have had a response each time within a few hours of sending the email, and they've been very helpful.

I have to agree with SiuLoong always get a reply and very quickly & helpful.

Hi. I signed up and have just received my first 2 letters to post (and free stamps, thanks OP). Before posting, do I have to register the post box I am going to use, or do I just post in a box in my postcode? I cant get on to the training site, and my first letter needs to be posted on Tues. Thanks for any replies.
