New Royal Mail Selection Files Now Available
Please note that we are making changes to the postcode sortation selections used by our mail centres from 29th July 2013. This means we are releasing a new version of the Royal Mail Selection Files, which are used for bulk mailings with Low Sort and High Sort options.
As someone who uses sorted mail, you must update your sorting systems each time a new version of the Royal Mail Selection Files is issued by us. If you don't, you risk delaying the delivery of your mail and may have to pay a higher price for your mailings. If you use sortation software from a third party supplier, they will already know about this change, and will be able to advise you further.
Summary of Change
Services which currently have 1525 selections will move to 1529, while Services which currently have 88 selections will reduce to 86 selections.
