This was posted a long while ago so I thought it was time for a repost as it's quite a useful freebie!
Take part in a Royal Mail survey and get yourself some free stamps and other possible freebies!
If you’re selected, you’ll likely get a few letters sent to you to post back through the Royal Mail so that they can monitor how well the postal service is actually working. In return, you’ll get free stamps along with other possible free stuff!

I have done this - It was great at first, the odd letter to post and plenty of stamps to start off with. Then more stuff to post but less stamps. Then inserting tracking stuff, even less stamps and then it progressed to small parcels. Then it was posting at certain post boxes, then post offices........In the end it was ridiculous. Unless you have lots and I mean lots of spare time - avoid it!

I'm on this and probably got enough stamps to last me for a while now. My postbox and post office are just a hundred yards down the road and even then it seems barely worth the effort. Even if the posting notes says to post via post office you can just post them in postbox. There are cube boxes that HAVE to be posted by post office and you have to pay for the postage yourself and then get reimbursed with vouchers for a couple quid more than it cost you.

I did it last month, unbelievable amount of hassle for a few stamps.
Each week they send you a few letters with a numbered piece of cardboard and some envelopes, you have to address the envelopes, one hand written and one with a supplied sticker. You then have to log on to say you have received the items. You then have to post the two items on specific days,one in a post box, and one at a post office counter, which you get odd looks posting an envelope with a £3.30 stamp, which is way too much. You then have to log on again to say where you posted the items using their post box search tool. You have to do this four times, I'm a keen money saver and save a fortune every year and decided this isn't worth the hassle. My local post office is a 2.5 mile round trip and never pass any on my travels, so spent around £4.50 in car costs (45p per mile) posting the things, plus all the time taken.

This is fine if you don't have a life and can post items at specific times on specific days. Or indeed if you live in a postbox. I'd be curious if someone was to convert the 'free stamps' to an hourly rate for the effort you put in.

Yes I agree, I did this for a while, not exactly easy, it inolves a bit of running around and waiting in PO queues for little reward.

Less than minimum wage
on the other hand what you 'earn' is tax free,inflation proof
and their are other perks like lots of free stationary
and best of all after six months you get invited to do the 'unaddressed survey' which is a £5 love to shop voucher for doing next to nothing
We signed up for this,then we moved house AND supplied our new address to them.They could not even get that right, every last letter/packet from them always went to the old address,despite our constant letters again giving them our new address.
In the end we thought that if they couldn't be bothered then why should we,so we stopped doing this.

To be honest it hardly worth it for what you get out of it You've gotta have nothing better to do (yep, me ... I do it)
A lot of the stuff has to be posted at a post office and not a post box.
P.S.... Anyone wanna buy some stamps :stuck_out_tongue:
