With franking machines, it is much easier to consolidate your mail while giving your business a more professional image. Besides cutting your postage costs by up to 32%, franking machines grant you control of your spending since they give you the choice to pay for your postage credit when you need it.
From big corporations to small, medium sized businesses and even the self-employed, everyone can and will benefit from using the right franking machine. As a matter of fact, even for the businesses that send up to 5 parcels or letters a day could profit from the reduced postage costs. Once you have made the decision to use franking machines, the next question is, (perhaps alongside how much is a franking machine?) where do you get them?
Well, Royal Mail does not directly supply the machines; instead, you can get them from an authorised supplier. Getting the right supplier can be tricky as there are many who claim to be the best. Before deciding to settle on any one of the available options, you have to consider first whether you are buying or renting the machine.
While there are many suppliers of franking machines globally, every supplier or manufacturer in the UK must be approved by Royal Mail. Today, there are four companies that have been authorised to manufacture and sell the machines in the UK.
Pitney Bowes are traditionally known as the leading client communications and franking machine supplier. Besides franking machines, the company also supplies other products and services including office supplies, filing systems, storage media and labels, all at competitive prices.
Establishing a relationship with Pitney Bowes will work to your advantage since they are easy to work with, and this is true for both new and already established customers. Thanks to their wide customer base especially in the UK, you can be able to negotiate lower prices with their franking machine suppliers.
Pitney Bowes offer quality franking machines at affordable prices. Their customer care service is responsive, friendly, and very helpful. More so, Pitney Bowes is one among the only 4 manufacturers that have been authorised by the Royal Mail to sell their products in the UK.
