Royal Mail Services and Bulk Mail Services – A Brief Explanation

First and Second Class are amongst the most frequently used of the Royal Mail services. The First Class mail service aims to deliver your letter or packet on the next working day and Second Class aims to deliver mail by the 3rd working day after posting.

If you send large volumes of mail in the UK then Royal Mail’s Mailsort products could well be of interest.

By sorting your mailing and making sure that at least 90% of the addresses have the correct post code Whitney Woods can help you to take advantage of some spectacular Royal Mail postage discounts. How much you save depends on which Mailsort service is most applicable. There are three basic bulk mail delivery services to choose from. Mailsort 1 is fastest with “next-day” delivery but it offers the lowest discounts. Mailsort 2 is delivered in “2-3 days” and offers good discounts. The best discounts are available on Mailsort 3 with delivery “within 7 days”.

There are minimum quantities involved, for example 4000 letters or 1000 “large letters” per UK mailing but pretty well all you have to do is to present your database in good condition and we can do the rest for you.
