Good news from the Royal Mail - PiP Franking Discounts
The Royal Mail has announced its postal rates for Pricing in Proportion and there is great news for businesses using metered mail... they have increased the discounts for all franked mail.
Franked first and second class standard letters will now get a 2p discount instead of the current 1p. For larger items the saving could be as much as 17p per item.
