posting 2000 items

[Lord Vladimir]

If i want to one off post 2,000 magazines to diff places is there an easier / cheaper way than sticking stamps on them?

Thanks

If they are heavy enough they may qualify for mailsort discounts which may offset some of the cost of polybagging them with a personalised flysheet.

Depends on the quality of the database too.

Sounds like you mean distinct addresses spread over, but if not and rather you mean blanket area / postcode you can use royal mail distribution currently at £36 per 1000 (for new customers).

[Lord Vladimir]

all individual schools im sending them to so plan would be to print off from database onto labels unless theres a better way?

If its A5 you could send it clean mail but have to be quite light... havent done that for a while though.

Have you tried a mailing house?

Getting an account with royal mail will save a few % but may have to pay per year???

It depends allot on what you want the pack to be.

2000 can qualify for mailsort but you would need to be mailing it as an A4 pack or large letter. The weight will often decide if this is cheaper than a standard tariff 1st or 2nd class. You would also need to have a Royal mail account or use someone that does like a mailing house, I know a good one

you can do this with either envelope or polywrap.

There is also the option of downstream access that can offer some savings over standard Royal mail but has some cons.

If you want to discuss your needs in a little more detail you can email me
glyn AT amethystmailing.co.uk or call on 01903 700444. I am off home in a min but will be back in the office at about 8:30am.

I will give any advice that you need.

I think there's a minimum of 4000 on mailsort?

Packetpost would probably be the best bet if they weigh over 100g each, but again you'd need an RM account I think.

mailsort is available on items of 1000 for large letter but as mentioned it is often the weight that will dictate if it is cheaper to do so than standard tariff for a letter sized pack. It has been this way since pricing in proportion came in making it size and weight that dictates cost. You only get into packet post if your item is larger or heavier than a large letter.

Obviously there are design factors to the pack as well that can affect what is achievable.
