I came across a service from the Royal Mail today which allows customers to print off their own stamped labels. It costs £4.99 a month for a subscription, but this is reduced if paid on an annual basis. The subscription is purely for the liberty of using the service, and doesn’t include the cost of postage itself, but even so, it’s still likely to be much cheaper than a franking machine.

As you can probably tell, I’m impressed by it. In particular, I find the thought of not having to queue up in line for hours on end particularly appealing. But the point of this post is to reach out to anyone who has used the service, to see what their opinions are. A worthwhile investment? Or a waste of money?

For me at least, only time will tell.
