Direct mail postage

SAVING YOU MONEY ON POSTAGE

We’re a key partner to Royal Mail, a member of The Strategic Mail Partnership, fully accredited under the Mailing House Partners in Quality and a recommended 'Mail Made Easy' mailing house.

Postage discounts, and knowing how to engineer your mailing to ensure you qualify for every potential saving, is something we excel at.

Because we work with all the leading downstream delivery providers, mailing out over 10 million items a year, we're able to access multiple distribution channels. This gives choice and flexibility, enabling us to tailor costs and delivery times to best suit your project and objectives.

The postal landscape is a complicated one, which is why it makes sense to let our postage experts buy bulk mail postage on your behalf. You'll be surprised how much we can save you.

Using The Mailing People to buy your bulk postage is really easy.  Consistently reliable, it includes tracked and signed for items covering:

• Publishing, Advertising mail and Business mail
• Low Sort/Hi Sort/OCR/Mailmark
• JicMail
• DSA (Downstream access)
• International mail and consolidation
• Packets, parcels, Packet 24 and Packet 48

• Mailsort
  By pre-sorting mail before we pass it on to Royal Mail we can cut up to 30% from franking rates, and even more off the price of a stamp. 

• Mailmark®
  In addition to Mailsort savings, if your mail can be machine processed and you address are at least 90% accurate (known as PAF accurate), we can access Royal Mail’s Mailmark service for you to gain the cheapest postage rates possible.

• Downstream access
  Our direct mail solutions include full access to multiple postal and distribution channels (otherwise known as Downstream Access Providers), which means we can compare prices, delivery times and service to tailor a postage solution that is right for your campaign and budget. We use The Delivery Group, UK Mail, Whistl, Citipost and One Post.

• Advertising mail
  We automatically send Royal Mail a sample of the direct mail items to be posted to find out, to find out if you qualify for further postage discounts. Not all mailing houses will do this for you. You can find out more about it in our fact sheet, Advertising Mail Explained.

"The Mailing People have helped our business to scale quickly by handling all our outgoing post promptly and efficiently. They have been great to work with, and I would recommend them to any business"
