Is your mailing printed, packed and ready, but still waiting to leave the office? Our mail collection and posting service helps businesses send prepared mail without managing the postage themselves. Mail Shot International can arrange collection and posting, so your team can get back to work.
Whether you have Christmas cards, customer statements or marketing letters, you do not need to start again. If you have already done the printing and enclosing, we can help with the final stage: getting your mail into the postal network.
What is mail collection and posting?
It is a practical option for organisations with prepared mail but no suitable posting arrangement. You may not have a business postage account. Perhaps the volume is too much for your usual office routine, or your team simply cannot spare the time.
Instead of organising a trip with boxes of envelopes, you can ask us to collect them. We agree the collection details, check the mailing requirements and arrange the agreed postal service. Collection depends on your location and the job, so please contact us before making plans.
Already prepared your letters? We can still help
You do not have to use our printing service to ask us about postage. Recently, we helped an organisation whose envelopes were already prepared. We arranged collection from their office and posted the letters using Royal Mail Second Class.
That is a useful reminder: a mailing house can handle just the part you need. Our direct mail services cover the wider process, but we can also discuss collection and postage for work you have prepared elsewhere.
Could you save on business postage?
Possibly. If you normally buy stamps or pay standard counter prices, it is worth asking us for a quote. We can assess the available mailing options and explain the costs for your job.
However, the cheapest option depends on more than the number of envelopes. Size, weight, contents, preparation and timing all matter. Collection and handling costs also affect the total, so compare the complete quote with what you would otherwise spend.
We will not promise the same saving on every mailing. Instead, we help you choose a suitable route for your requirements. You can also review Royal Mail’s UK postal services when considering your delivery needs.
From Christmas cards to everyday business mail
Mail collection and posting is not only for large marketing campaigns. It can also help with the regular communications that keep your organisation moving. For example, you might need to send:
- Christmas cards for customers, members or supporters.
- Statements, invoices and routine business letters.
- Membership notices, renewal letters and updates.
- Marketing letters, postcards and event invitations.
Tell us what is inside and when it needs to arrive. Second Class may suit some mailings, while time-sensitive communications need a different approach. We will discuss the options before you book.
How to book mail collection and posting
First, send us the approximate quantity, envelope or postcard size, and weight of one complete item. Next, tell us the collection postcode, when the mail will be ready and your preferred posting date. A photo of a sample can help us understand the job.
Also let us know whether the items are addressed, sealed or already stamped. Please check with us before adding postage or sorting the mail, as the preparation can affect which service is suitable.
Once you approve the quote, we confirm the booking arrangements, collection window and any packing instructions. Keep the envelopes secure and ready for the agreed handover. If you need printing, addressing or enclosing too, tell us at the start.
