We do a big mailing of over 1000 newsletters twice a year, and we never know quite how the local Post Office is going to receive us when we walk in pulling a trolley stacked with 120Kgs of franked mail. Get a "jobsworth" on the counter, and they'll insist that you pass over the envelopes in bunches of about 50 because "there's a limit on the weight we're allowed to lift"; get someone more helpful and they'll contact their sorting colleagues round the back and let you transfer the mailing directly into one of their trolleys or even (if your timing is right) put it straight on the next van to the sorting office.

This is a page archived from The Horse's Mouth at http://www.wellho.net/horse/ - the diary and writings of Graham Ellis. Every attempt was made to provide current information at the time the page was written, but things do move forward in our business - new software releases, price changes, new techniques. Please check back via our main site for current courses, prices, versions, etc - any mention of a price in "The Horse's Mouth" cannot be taken as an offer to supply at that price.
