Franked Mail - 2nd Class

[Hughesie2]

Did a mail shot recently, not a massively important one but big, 12,000 pieces approx...


Did it all in house, Neopost franker and stuffere etc...

Get a letter from Royal Mail today, your post was incorrectly priced sir, we've passed it on but you owe us some money, fair play i thougt, my mistake...

Mail cost
12,000 items x 0.01p = £120.00

Handling charge
12,000 x £1.00 = £12,000.00


:eek:






It would appear that the price of of a 2nd class stamp changed recently, and NEOPOST didnt send us a new chip for the machine, so i faxed them the bill and they've agreed to pay it :hehe:

Nice action!!

If you send 100,000 times that annually, you get first class for tuppence...

Revenue protection (part of royal mail) are getting really hot on anything that is not upto scratch so beware.

Also
you could of saved about 500 notes on mailing cost if you had had your data mailsorted by a mailing house etc before posting!!

if you want further info for next time mail me

Guess the advent of introducing competition has forced Royal Mails hand, but £12,000 for a £120 discrepancy is more than a bit steep.

Thats one way of paying for 100s more revenue protection personnel, but are we allowed to surcharge the same amount for items that don't arrive or are late. Wouldn't like to bet on it.
