Hello,
There is an opportunity for you to represent your area on the Royal Mail Survey.
This project measures Royal Mail's service and helps them to identify specific parts of their network that require improvement. About 6,000 panellists participating from business and residential addresses post items to each other. TNS Research International calculates how long it takes for Royal Mail to deliver those items.
We'd like to invite you to join our panel of 6,000 panellists for a fixed period of 6 months during which we'll ask you to send and receive a variety of letters. In exchange, we will send you a monthly incentive of 12 x 1st Class stamps and 4 x 1st Class Large Letter stamps, 2 sets of Presentation Stamps, and entry into a prize draw to win High Street vouchers.
Even if you are not available at this point in time, we'd be grateful if you would let us know either way by clicking on the following link:
Thank you,
Royal Mail Project Team

Did this a few years ago, became a bit of a ball-ache, especially having to queue in post offices to post certain items. But i now have enough stamps to last me for years!

Should this be in this section, its a job not a deal, and its not available to everyone, you have to be in an area that they have vacancies in.

This isn't "free" you're basically getting paid to work and the wage is extremely low. Not worth it.

It isn't worth doing, it's a massive faff, enveloping stuff, making you queue up at the post office or send you to a specific post box. For about ten quid of stamps it wasn't worth it

Maybe they have people in your area already on this? Guess they will want a fair representation of the different depots.

The same as my letter box is too small to put anything larger than a postcard & junk mail thru.
I did this for a while. They keep inviting me to 'participate'.
They are con artists and should drop the royal bit as they are a private company who still think they are Royal and we should be grateful for the very poor service they deliver.
Working for the mail service in this way works out at about £2 hr

I did this year ago and it's quite not that easy. You have to send letters and parcels at certain times and certain days only in your postcode area. For example send parcel on monday between 1-3pm. So if you are working this is not often even possible. You have to pay for it and they send you gift card instead.

They've changed this - it's now before last collection, before midday or after midday. It was a bit of a pain, you're right!! I save up the gift vouchers and use them at Christmas. The most you have to pay out at the post office at a time is about £3.35

I have done it a few times now and it suits me really well. I would argue it isn't really for people working full time as you aren't likely to have much spare time as a result and you probably don't need the small supplemental income that much.
Can be a real boon if you for example only work part time or are an occasional eBay seller, especially the latter as the stamps are ideal for sending out small items like CDs/DVDs and games so you only have to worry about the ebay/paypal fees so makes selling smaller items more worthwhile. Plus stamps will always sell if you can't use them, especially around Christmas.
I find the time requirements aren't overly inconvenient either, though it may vary between areas, mine never require posting at specific times just some are morning or afternoon.
I find the gift vouchers actually stack up more than the stamps for me as I mostly shop online and they seem to only be spendable in store. But like the stamps I imagine they can be sold too...
