Mailing systems Europe- Postal Franking machines

I have come across a great supplier of Mailing systems Europe who I have been using for the supply of franking machines and supplies.

Mailing Systems Europe Ltd supply post room equipment across the South West and Wales.

They have a big range of Pitney Bowes franking machines, Frama and Neopost franking machines. As well as postal scales, paper and inserters. You will find everything you need. They also haev a one-year warranty. You can find inks, labels and envelopes to print heads and sealing solution. They also do franking machine rental.

What I like about them is they have after sales, service and maintenance of office equipment. So if you have any problems they will help. They make sure your equipment is regularly maintained.

The engineers cover a wide region in the South West from Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Dorset to Gloucestershire, Bath, Bristol, Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, as well as much of Wales.

VAT on Post- Franking machines

 The budget on Wednesday 24 March 2010 announced plans to have VAT on some postal products. This will start from Monday 31 January 2011. This is after the legal challenge to the VAT.

Most people now are not affected by the VAT change. First and second class franked mail and standard parcels will be exempt from VAT. The overwhelming majority of postal customers will be unaffected by the Government’s proposed changes in VAT.

A list of the Royal Mail services that remain exempt and a list of the small number of services that will be subject to VAT is available at www.royalmail.com/vat. This list is not totally exhaustive, but it includes Special Delivery 9am and International Airsure.

How do I post franked mail?

The Royal Mail will supply you with pouches, trays or mailbags to help you with the correct presentation of your mail. These are obtained free of charge once you have your franking machine.

Franked mail can be handed in at your local Post Office or Mail Centre or it can be posted in a franked mailbox. Franked mail must not be posted in a regular post box, unless you are using low volume posting envelopes. These low volume posting envelopes can be obtained from your franking machine supplier but can only be used to post up to thirty items of mail per day.

What should I do if my machine breaks down and I am unable to get it repaired before my next mailing?

First, arrange for your machine to be repaired as soon as possible by contacting your Royal Mail approved manufacturers and suppliers.

If your mail is urgent and needs to be posted before the machine can be repaired?
Use Royal Mail Franking Machine Breakdown Service where Royal Mail franks your mail on your behalf. There is a small charge for the total postage costs of the mail plus a 20% administrative fee. The total amount due will be sent to you in writing, and you will need to return a franked impression for the total amount within seven days of your machine being repaired.
