Postage | Central Mailing Services

Central Mailing Services are able to provide discounted rates for all Domestic & International postage. We have developed a bespoke routing matrix (SELECTA) which automatically selects the most competitive postal carriers for every mailing we process using real- time costs. The result is often multiple carriers per mailing to determine the best overall price.

We work with tried and tested postal carriers which includes but is not limited to Royal Mail; enabling us to achieve the best possible postage rates for our clients. As an established mailing house, we produce and send huge volumes of mail on a daily basis, this gives us excellent buying power and allows our clients to benefit from wholesale discounts on postage. We output over 200 million items of mail per year.

We have even produced significant postage cost savings for experienced Direct Mail clients by suggesting minor changes such as:

Slight Design amends to achieve machine readable discounts
Changing content to achieve Advertising Mail discounts
Changing paper stock to achieve Environmental discounts
Suggesting alternative dispatch dates to avoid postage price increases
Changing a mail piece size or format to allow it to fall into the most cost-effective weight and format bracket

We pride ourselves on our detailed postage knowledge and experience, we understand postage can sometimes be overwhelming hence why Central Mailing Services will take away the hassle for you and deliver the most cost-effective postage service every time.
