    Today I received my stamps for the month in my normal brown envelope with items to post for the week - also included was a thank-you letter (2 in fact!!) and some special "Royal Mail Mint Stamps", a presentation pack of James Bond stamps which look pretty funky I have to say. Not sure what to do with them, I'm not the stamp collecting sort.... but seems a shame to use them! Maybe i'll save em for special cards. Anyone else get these?

    How long have you been with them? I've heard they give these out when you've been with them a year etc...

    wow James Bond stamps fab. I want some but all I've got is a confusing email saying they've got lots of pannelists and some have to go on a stand-by panel. Not sure if I've been dropped or not.

    no not long at all, only a couple of months! The letter said:

    "This is a new approach and we are pleased to be able to provide you with these highly collectable limited edition stamps..... We will be awarding more presentation stamps in the future, which will be sent to our top performing panellists periodically during the year." :T

    You might get yours in your brown pack if you haven't yet received it for next week, as they prob dont send them all out on the same days.

    Received a SMART yesterday, somewhat confused. I have two questions, if anyone can answer them I'd appreciate it.
    1. I have an information label with an R number on, is this the R number I enter having received it or is this the R number for the next person whom I have to send it to next week?
    2. What do I send back to Research International? I received my posting schedule, postbox list, yellow stickers, information labels, SMART, SMART holder, instructions, brown envelope and a sealed white envelope with "Items of value" written on it. I presume its only the items of value envelope that I send back but I just want to check as I'm not sure whether I am supposed to send that on to the next person with the SMART and send nothing back to Research International.

    Ah ok, just opened it. Another 18 stamps, got 48 stamps now.
    But I don't know what I'm supposed to send back to RI in the big plastic envelope now or am I not required to use it until asked?

    Hi CloudRuler

    All test items you receive, put in the grey plastic envelope. And post back at the end of the week. I generally wait until I've received any post on a Saturday and then send back then. On the back of this grey envelope, place one of the barcode stickers with your account/login numbers on.

    Looking 4ward to receiving my incentive stamps soon now!! :D
