Royal Mail will introduce two new products for business customers and large volume
mailers on 2 April 2007. Automated Standard Tariff Large Letter and Cleanmail Advance
are part of the changes to postage prices that will come into effect this year.

The Automated Standard Tariff Large Letter will offer business customers sending
a minimum of 250 large letter-sized items that can be machine-sorted discounts of
between six and nine per cent.

Cleanmail Advance will offer easier access to discounts for customers sending more
than 1,000 items with correct and machine readable addresses.

Lorna Clarkson, Royal Mail’s Director of Commercial Policy and Pricing, said: “We
have developed these new products to appeal to government, financial services, and
medium sized business customers to make communication with their customers easier,
flexible and competitively priced.

“… We are committed to offering discounts to customers who give us mail that can
be sorted by our machines, rather than by hand. These items cost us less to handle
so it’s right that we reflect this in the prices we charge those customers.”

Royal Mail is also introducing enhanced volume-related discounts for some of its
Mailsort business mail services. These include more volume-related thresholds that
attract a discount, and a lowering of the minimum threshold, to enable a larger 
number of smaller mailers to qualify for a discount.
