Frequently asked questions

What if I change fulfilment house?

Just set up a Diversion. That means that we forward your response mail to your new fulfilment house. We need written agreement from the new fulfilment house who will receive your mail. Send the agreement to

You need to apply and pay for a new licence - and let us have the following information:

  • present licence number
  • account number

  • telephone / fax / email

These details should be sent to:

What should I do if I change the design of my envelope during the licence period?

If you change the design of your envelope that’s fine, but you’ll have to send us another proof for approval.
