subscriptions
What is a flat rate
subscription
?
Every other maildrop company we
have looked at has a fee structure based on a combination of an annual
fee, a fee per item and postage per item. We also provide this fee
structure.
We also have a simple single payment fee structure for
low volume users. This is based on purchasing a fixed number of
units. Each unit can be used for
forwarding or remailing letters within a 12 month period. The
single fee includes all postage and processing fees.
All flat rate mail is sent by priority Airmail.
Tell me more about your Flat
Rates.
Suppose you subscribe to the 25 unit subscription - Your
subscription ends12 months later or when you have used your 25
units for forwarding or remailing - whichever comes first.
You cannot carry unused units through to your next
subscription period.
Explain Flat Rate units
in detail.
One Flat Rate unit can used for any one of the
following:
 |
Remailing one single letter
by airmail -
Maximum of 100 Grams.
|
|
|
Forwarding one
letter to you by airmail - Maximum of 100 Grams.
|
|
|
Forwarding up to
100 Grams of letters to you by airmail in a single covering envelope.
|
NOTE:
100 grams is equivalent to between 4 and 7 standard letters.
Examples: 25 Flat Rate
units entitle you to one the following in a 12 month period . . .
|
|
Remailing 8 letters for you and forwarding 17
times to you (up to 100 grams each time)
|
|

Remailing 4 letters for you and
forwarding 21 times to you (up to 100 grams each time)

Do you allow delayed
subscriptions ?
Yes, we allow delayed subscriptions up to about a month (Flat-rate or Standard). This facility can be useful in a business start-up situation
where the you need your new Irish address in advance, for printing,
advertising etc.
In a personal situation you could use this facility
before you go on a long trip, to let people know in advance where you
can be contacted after a certain future date.
Payment in advance is
required - Your subscription starts when
your first letter arrive
Can I move from one flat
rate subscription to another ?
No. Suppose you have chosen the 12 unit subscription and
you use it up after 8 months. You cannot then pay the difference between
the 12 unit and the 25 unit subscription - you must buy a new
subscription.
What's different if I'm
based in Ireland ?
 |
If we are forwarding your mail to your main Irish
address by post there is no difference.
|
|
|
If you have a flat rate account we will apply charges
as normal for mail forwarding. We don't charge you flat rate
units for occasional pick-ups, but we do if they are regular. We
also charge for long term storage.
|
|
|
A flat rate account is not suitable where you only
collect your mail.
|
Can I have packages
forwarded and remailed on a flat rate subscription ?
Yes. However, because of the extra postage,
packaging etc, packages count as multiple units, depending on their weight.
These are detailed in the table below ...
Flat rate subscriptions
are not really suitable for sending or receiving a lot of
parcels. Flat rate subscriptions are not suitable for sending or
receiving packages exceeding one Kilogram or for courier services. It is best to use one
of our standard packages in these cases.

Can flat rate
subscriptions be used for scanning/email services ?
Yes - but not for large quantities. Please
contact us in advance and let us know roughly how many pages a month
you expect. At present our turnaround between receiving mail and
scanning/emailing is about one week.
How come flat rate fees
are the same worldwide ?
Our flat rate fees are designed to be simple. We
just average out the costs. Our flat rate subscribers in Asia
get better value than our UK subscribers. Flat rate
subscriptions are very popular and account for about 70% of
all subscriptions.
Don't forget, you can have 100 grams of letters (up to seven
standard letters)
forwarded at the
same
time for one flat rate unit.
