STAMPS VS FRANKING
For businesses using stamps & currently generating reasonable amounts of postage there are great savings to be achieved by switching to a Mailmark Franking System from PBS. When comparing prices on Standard 1st & 2nd Class Letters, or 1st & 2nd Class Large Letters the savings range from an impressive 16p per item at the lower end up to a massive 74p per item at the top end, with 16p being the minimum saving per item. A business currently using stamps & sending out ten Standard 1st Class & ten Standard 2nd Class Letters per day will save a guaranteed £22.50 per week on postage!! (Prices are based on Royal Mail UK prices 02.04.2024 & a 5 day working week).
With rental prices starting from just £6.25 + VAT per week, plus ink & an annual service charge from year 2 onwards, the average business sending out 100 letters per week (mixed as above) could benefit from the speed & benefits of a machine & still save up to £455.02 per annum* (£605.02 in year one).

* Savings example quoted is based on a 6 year rental paid quarterly in advance being taken out (subject to approval), an annual service plan at £150.00 + VAT per annum in year 2 onwards being taken out, and the usage of 2 ink cartridges per annum being used costing £119.99 + VAT each. Higher usage will possibly increase ink/running costs but will also increase postage savings. Each machine includes at least one free company logo worth £115.00 & for new website customers an additional £100.00 of free postage credit adding to their account or equivalent in vouchers being supplied following the successful machine installation & commencement of the relevant hire agreement.
