Postal Charges

It is generally accepted that all post, unless it is an urgent item, should be sent 2nd class and following the revised postal charges which are now based on size as well as weight, using the appropriate sized envelope.

Avoiding additional costs for your Department – an example

We process thousands of letters each day and costs are rising yearly.  You can help to keep these within bounds by simply choosing a  DL or A5 envelope instead of an A4 envelope and opting for 2nd class rather than 1st class post for UK mailings. With the new prices in effect from 30 April 2012, the difference in cost is (31p vs 66p) = 35p.  That’s £350 per thousand letters that could be saved from the University’s budget.  Please give some thought to planning your mailings and the envelope size you need.

For further details, please visit the Royal Mail website.

Courier Service

The University uses CMM, who provide a courier service for us.  We ask that you package your item, marking the budget code on the top left-hand corner of the package, and bring it down to the Post Room where it will be logged ready for dispatch.  We recommend that you also log your item in your Department.

If you prefer to use DHL, FedEx or any other courier service, you will need to bring each item to the Post Room on your Campus for collection from there.

Courier Collection times

Docklands – daily.

Stratford – Wednesday and Fridays.
