Post by the mad woman »

Large customers (spending over £15K per year with RM) get free collections. For those who don't qualify for free collections, a weekday uplift is £775 plus VAT per year although there are various other possibilities - see http://www.royalmail.com/parcel-despatc ... ollections for more details

Current prices, I think, are £900 per year, or if the customer wants a specific collection time it's about £2,500.
As someone else said, it's free if you spend enough.

I only take mail from customers if they have put stamps on it now.i stopped going to the shops to buy the stamps for them about 5 years ago as it just got out of hand.Some of them were wanting me to do the grocery shopping as well.
