Not a bad article, but he's wrong on one point though:

Take a look at your letters next time you pick them up from the doormat. Look at the right-hand corner, the place where the Queen’s head used to be. You’ll see a variety of different franks, representing a number of different mail companies. There’s TNT, UK Mail, Citypost and a number of others. What these companies do is to bid for the profitable bulk mail and city-to-city trade of large corporations, undercutting the Royal Mail, and then have the Royal Mail deliver it for them. TNT has the very lucrative BT contract, for instance. TNT picks up all BT’s mail from its main offices, sorts it into individual walks according to information supplied by the Royal Mail, scoots it to the mail centres in bulk, where it is then sorted again and handed over to us to deliver. Royal Mail does the work. TNT takes the profit.

BTs phone bills & the Sky Magazines which are marked "walksort" are "sorted" or more correctly printed in walk order then bundled by the sender not TNT.

This is where the biggest discounts for a large posting come from.

TNT do offer a "Walksort" service similar to our own and this is what BT usually use for their bills. But as far as I'm aware none of the D.S.A. companies do any walksorting themselves, this is all done by your local RM Mail Centre or the Delivery Offices in the case of unmachinable mail.

TNT Post’s Premier Service enables the Customer to hand over mailing items to TNT Post which
are sorted to either:
• Walksort
Letters, Large Letters,A3 Packets or Packets sorted to selections based on Postal delivery
walks.To qualify for Walksort a mailing must be sent to at least one in ten (10%) of all the
households within its coverage area.
• Premier 1400 (Primary)
Letters, Large Letters,A3 Packets or Packets sorted to c.1400 selections based on the full UK
Postcode sorted to Royal Mail Delivery Offices.
• Premier 120 (Default)
Letters, Large Letters A3 Packets or Packets sorted to c.120 selections based on the full UK
Postcode sorted to Royal Mail Inward Mailing Centres.
• Premier 120 OCR
Machinable Letters meeting the OCR specification sorted to c.120 selections based on the full
UK Postcode sorted to Royal Mail Inward Mailing Centres.

Premier 120 CBC
Machinable Letters meeting the CBC specification sorted to c.120 selections based on the full
UK Postcode sorted to Royal Mail Inward Mailing Centres.
• Premier 700 CBC
Machinable Letters meeting the CBC specification sorted to c.700 selections based on the full
UK Postcode sorted to Royal Mail’s Inward Mail centre machine-sorting plans.


The Premier services above offer different prices for different levels of sortation carried out by
the customer and are available for mailing items anywhere within the United Kingdom.
