Cheapest way of PC to Snail mail - sending bulk mail

Options
I have around 1500 letters which are ready to be mail merged and need to posted (2nd class only). It is a one page letter and they all going within London.

I would appreciate any guidance or referrals to any competitively priced and good quality companies you might have used please?

Many thanks in advance

    PDQit any good for you? They offer a merge, print and post service.

    Why not mail merge them into Word then printing off of a laser printer? OK, you'll have the hassle of folding and enveloping but presumably this is a one-off exercise so less of an issue.

    Postage - City Link, as already mentioned, or approach the Post Office and see if they'll do a deal for a bulk mailing. For 1500 in one hit, I should imagine they will.

    I limit myself to responding to threads where I feel I have enough knowledge to make a useful contribution. My advice (and indeed any advice on this type of forum) should only be seen as a pointer to something you may wish to investigate further. Never act on any forum advice without confirmation from an accountable source.

    Thanks but I definitely do not want to be sitting there doing 1500 letters. Will take a little too long I am afraid.
