Also - really silly Q - but DAK is it OK to do more than one confirmed sales order per day? eg drop one lot in the morning, and drop one off at different PO in afternoon?

No trouble at all.

got my first overseas parcel to send..

I see that the code is OLA, once i have put that code in, what will i need to do then? its going to sweden

What PPI label do I need for it? as I have only got the 24/48 ones printed.

I only have the odd parcel going abroad.

thanks

I was speaking to RM (again) today about opening an account and what services would I use, I would not be allowed overseas as I don't sent 1000 items, how does it work for you if you only send the odd parcel?
Thanks

OLA, then select packets, then from the drop down menu select Europe unsorted packets.
you need a different PPI label, looks like this

I was not given a minimum parcel quantity when I applied, they asked me how much I spent last year and said I was eligible for 24/48 then they asked me if I wanted overseas as well.

Have just been told that weight limit for 48 (24/48 service) is 5kg, when I said I was told it was 2kg she said it had been changed but I only have prices up to 2kg.
Can someone confirm, is it 2 or 5?
thanks

Re. the airmail thing - can you just put a 1st Class PPI on and add a "by air" sticker?

Thats how it was explained to me today because I wasn't sure why I had 1st, 24 & 48 and a CN22 if necessary.

And (last Q about international packets...maybe) do you just put all the OLA stuff in a bag with, what, a red "1st Class" label, or am I supposed to have something different that indicates international?

It's a white international tag with STL in the middle for OLA coded Airmail, you can order from the OBA mail supplies under international products and they are called: "50 x International Letters Airmail Bag Labels A bundle of 50 International Standard Tariff Letters Airmail bag labels (P6138C)"
