Streamline your processes
Decide how many sites you want to include in the contract and buy the appropriate pre-paid, single-use, disposable pouches. These are available in different weights, depending on whether you choose an ‘up-to weight’ or an ‘average weight’ pouch service (see below).
End-of-day collection
Simply put your mail into pre-paid pouches. At the end of the day, we’ll collect and deliver to your premises, anywhere in the UK. Your pouch will usually arrive first thing the next working day, including Saturdays.
Less administration
There’s no need to weigh each item you’re sending or spend time filling in paperwork. Since you only pay for the pouch, the service costs less than sending mail 1st Class.
Choose a contract that suits you
Average weight
We charge a flat rate per pouch (500g, 1kg, 2kg, 5kg and 10kg), based on the average weight of all your pouches. We may review this average weight and make adjustments.
Up to weight
We charge a fixed price for each different pouch weight (500g, 1kg, 2kg, 5kg and 10kg). So if you use three different weights, each pouch would have a weight and size limit. For example, if your customer service centre sends 700g on average, they would use the 1kg pouch. If Head Office averages 4-5kg, the 5kg pouch is the answer. And if there’s a yearly mailing of 9kg for publications, then the 10kg offers the best solution.
