Very true - and you've got complete flexibility too.
Alternatively get yourself an account at your local Post Office. I've got one and all I do is to take my stuff down when I need to and they weigh and put the stamps or postage labels on; they even fill in the ParcelFarce certificates for you. The only thing I do is to fill out the Recorded / Special slips and pay up every week or so

I didn't know they did this! All I've got is a card so that I can pay for stamps with a business cheque. Do you know if any PO will do this, or just the larger ones? Not that we've got a PO that close to us any more, they've closed the nearest one, but it would be worth looking into for our big mailings!Repo wrote:Alternatively get yourself an account at your local Post Office.

As far as the franking machine is concerned- make sure you read carefully any contract-
I looked in it a while back, - costs £380pa to keep the machine

Just a waste of money. A pretty cool idea but the 380 PA and all that just isn't worth it - it cost's too much to mail stuff anyways.
I should've bought more stamps when they were at 28p, I thought it'd be enough to buy a 100 of each... Was I Wrong...0 -

I have been sent the paperwork by Pitney Bowes to take out a free trial with the £20 free postage. Has anyone done this and had no problems when they cancelled it at the end of the trial. It seems a lot of hassle for £20 and I'm not sure it's worth it. I could be pursuaded by others good experiences though!Named after my cat, picture coming shortly0

Ive got the paperwork too but am getting nervious that im gonna have to pay £210

Don't worry.
