special delivery question

Post by bigdave12121212 »

I need to send a letter by special delivery....looks easy enough.

However, i also need to include a self addressed envelope which also should be special delivery.

The problem is that the self addressed envelope shouldnt have any time restrictions on it. On the website it says that once i pay for the postage, the letter should be posted within seven days.

Obviously, the letter i send will be sent within 7 days of me paying, but the return might not be returned within 7 days of me buying the postage.

Is there any way to pay for the return envelope by special delivery without having time restrictions on it?

Thanks

Yes. Larger Post Offices sell individual pre-paid Special Delivery envelopes that have no time limit for use. Royal Mail’s online shop also sells them, but only in multi-packs:

I advise keeping a record of the barcode number of the pre-paid envelope so that you can track it.
