Current bulk postage prices
Bulk postage prices for letters, large letters packets and parcels are at the highest they have ever been. Over the years, postage prices have increased massively, to the point that it’s now becoming expensive to send through the Post Office.
Using our services is cheaper as we act as a pre-sortation centre for Royal Mail and therefore get significant discounts on our bulk postage.
No longer do you have to stamp, frank or take boxes to the local post office – here at The Direct Mail Company, we can collect your mail by courier as quickly as the same day, we bring it back to our mailing house, we pre-sort it for Royal Mail and then hand it over to them for delivery.
We make our money by pre-sorting the mail for Royal Mail, meaning it’s ready to go straight to the local delivery offices once we have sorted it. This gives us a nice discount on the postage costs.

What is the cheapest way to send bulk post?
If you regularly send out bulk postage, the cheapest way to do so is by owning a franking machine. If a business sends over 100 letters per week, a franking machine can save you money. However, many businesses do not want to do this or invest in a franking machine, so they pay for other companies like us to do it for them.
What is the maximum letter size?
The maximum letter size for Royal Mail standard post in the Uk is C5 which has dimensions of 229mm x 162mm. Any larger than this and it will be classed as a parcel. Your envelope also needs to weigh less than 100g and be under 5mm thick to be accepted as a large letter.
