We have a PacketPost account ehich we use rarely as 99.9% of our stuff goes by Contract Rate Special Delivery.

The think wih PacketPost you have to bundle items of the same weight together as a few heavy ones pushes the average price up.

Anyone know of a quicker way to do recorded delivery than write out a red slip each time?

RM will provide you with a recorded book where you have 10 on each page, phone RM stationary and they will send you one out along with a roll of tracking barcodes.

Or you an just pick one up from your local Sorting office.

In fact for Recorded/Signed For you can use you own forms, print the form/customers addresses, stick the stickers on and just make sure the form is stamped by the post office when you dispatch.

Yeh ive got that, makes life a lot easier, especially when you have 30 parcels all to be sent and people behind you while filling out a form for every item!

The PO already gives me the red slips and I do them at home. I have to manually write name and address. How does the book help?
