We have a Royal Mail Business account, cheaper than post office by a fair bit (cheaper than Franking machine), one of purchase of printer (£300) then all labels supplied free by Royal mail, best savings are on overseas mail (where we sed approx 55% of our items) and the savings compared to post office are around 35%, well worth it when you spend around £27K per year with the post office

What pisses me off about the Post Office is all the uninvited junk mail they stick through our letterboxes!

Just catch your postie 1 morning and tell him no more junk mail through your letterbox and anything saying "The Occupier" to bin it, I did this 3 years back and not 1 bit of junk in my letterbox since!, it also helps to tip your postie at xmas  that way they look after you.
For recorded mail he signs them for me if im out and posts them and for soecial deliveries he leaves them with my neighbour so i dont have to trek 4 miles to post office for them

You don't do the trick of using their enclosed freepost envelopes to send them some junk back then??

Great satisfaction.

Yup, its the way forward alright, we have a P.O. Box for returns and they even send those to us so we dont have to pick them up

My postie changes every couple of months. I'm not gonna tip 6 posties a year.

It all goes straight from my letterbox to my paper recycle bin - Easier and quicker than sending back etc.
