External post

We offer UK post services, and DHL courier delivery for schools and departments without their own account. We provide guidance on customs declarations for international deliveries. Our bulk mailing service includes print personalisation, envelope printing, and enclosing.

  • Royal Mail
    Staff can use the Post Room to send Royal Mail 1st and 2nd Class post, as well as Signed For and Special Delivery items. You can send parcels up to 2 kg via Royal Mail.
  • DHL
    Large parcels, multiple items and international parcels are best sent via DHL. Many schools and departments have their own DHL account. You can use Print Service's account if your school or department doesn't have one.
  • International shipping guidance
    All international couriers require a completed customs declaration for letters, large letters or parcels. This needs to be completed by the sender and loosely attached to the item.
  • Volume and bulk mailing
    We project manage high volume mailings (500+ items). This includes the printing, fulfilment and despatch. Some bulk mailings can secure postal discounts. The minimum quantities are 4,000 letters or 1,000 large letters.
  • Size guidelines
    The cost of sending items in the post will depend on their size and weight.
