Pre-Sorted Mail Solution

Pre-sorted mail involves mail organised by postcode and delivery route before it is handed over to UK Mail. This solution aims to reduce the amount of sorting Royal Mail needs to conduct, potentially resulting in cost savings and faster delivery times for your mail.

With our pre-sorted mail service, we will offer a convenient schedule for consumables and mail pick-up times, while offering our mail expertise to help you identify the right services so you can maximise savings.

Our services give you a choice of collection times and management information that provides end to end chain of custody data and peace of mind.
