Royal Mail Large Letter - Bulk Posting

[gaj1]

Hi All,

I am looking for a fast and efficient way to send and manage Recorded 1st class large letters.

On an average I am sending 2000 large letters a month via Post Office which costs me £2 per item.

I've already looked into the following.

1.Royal Mail OBA - Application Rejected

2.Liaising with Royal Mail regarding pre-pay option (to get same discount as OBA)

3.Royal Mail 24™ Signed For - PPI Labels (Not sure how this works)

4.Liaising with Franking Machine companies (Pitney bowes, Neo post etc)

Now, according to you which option I am better off sticking with? or is there any other option you might want to suggest?

Also, how can I keep a track of Signed For tracking numbers in one place?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
G

Hi

We use OBA with PPI not the tracked service. I do not quite understand why they have rejected your application for OBA but will let you do the tracked service. If you use OBA and PPI and you are sending the 2000 L Letters a month you are over their threshhold with free collection.

Hi Jessie,

The reason for decline was because we are still in our first year of trading.
And I applied for a credit account with a minimum credit limit of £3500.

For this reason, I have to go post office to process my L letters at £2 each.

Thanks,
G

I think your options will be limited as 24signed for service you still need an OBA account unless they let you use a prepay account with it. Phone the business line they are really helpful they should assign you an account mangager

Hi,

They are in the process of setting up prepay account. But with this type of account would I be still able to print Signed for 1st Class PPI?

Not really sure only used a pre-pay account when we used Smart Stamp in the early days and we did not use recorded. You could use Smartstamp you do not get discount but their system records all details in one place still have to take it to the post office though
