PRIORITY MAIL
PRIORITY MAIL
All Priority Mail must be kept separate from your other mail, otherwise it will be
treated as either 1st Class or 2nd Class mail.
Priority Mail includes:
• Special Delivery
• International Tracked
• International Tracked & Signed
• International Signed
• This includes Online Priority Mail.
Best Practice
Throughout the day check that the number of items shown on the
Horizon screen matches the actual number of Priority Mail items you have.
This will allow you to rectify any discrepancies.
(Back Office>Daily Accounting>Mail Dispatch>Branch>Royal Mail)
Priority Mail can be dispatched in sealed bags or Special Delivery pouches,
even if it is a single item. When you print and check your dispatch report,
place the barcoded copy into a bag with the relevant mail and seal with a
blue plastic tie (Order Code SP61).
Please note: this is much more secure than handing over ‘loose items’.
You can print as many Daily Dispatch Reports as necessary. Only select YES
to ‘last collection’ when this is your final collection.
The report with the reference number is the office copy. Ask the Collection
Officer to sign it and retain in the office. your final collection.
,
All Priority Bags must be tied with a blue
plastic tie.
(Order Code SP61)
If you have more than one mail collection, dispatch Priority Mail whenever
possible. Don’t hold mail until your final collection.
Priority Mail is dispatched in green mail bags where possible. If not available
use any mail bag but make sure to use the blue plastic tie around the neck.
