ROYAL MAIL

Some organisations who receive large volumes of mail can have unique postcodes to ensure that mail to an individual address is correctly segregated. If you receive at least 500 items of mail a day you may be eligible for a unique large user Postcode. This can occur if the previous occupant had a unique large-user postcode. A new business moving to this address will either use the standard postcode for that address or have their own unique large-user postcode. We are committed to a policy of not changing addresses or postcodes wherever possible. We will only make changes to benefit the service we give to you, or when it is absolutely necessary, for example: a new Royal Mail delivery office is opened, we have run out of postcodes for new homes and businesses in a developing area, the local council has prompted a change by re-numbering buildings or re-naming roads. We will always write to you to tell you about any changes we plan to make. For about 12 months from the time that we notify you of any changes, our sorting machines will recognise both your old and new postcodes. This should give you ample time to use up stocks of stationery and notify your customers, friends and relations of the change, although we recommend that you switch to your new postcode as soon as possible.
