This is the same thing Royal Mail offers, but with royal mail you print your own envelopes so your not buying a 1000 at a time.

I used to have a freepost licence - it was (I think) about £150 to set up, then you paid second class rate for every envelope delivered.

It was OK for a while, but then they made the registration fee an annual thing.  You can buy a lot of second class stamps for £150 - now I just stick stamps on my envelopes.

Another thing - the Post Office was rubbish at record keeping and sometimes overcharged me by up to 30% on the supposed number of envelopes delivered.

I dont no if its just my area but my envelopes are the size of of a cheque folded in half, when they go through the post they never get stamped by the post office.
