Accurate weight and pre-advice requirement delayed by Royal Mail

Royal Mail Changes to Service Ts&Cs Accurate weight and pre-advice requirement

In September, Royal Mail advised a change to their service terms and conditions update requiring those using Royal Mail 24 or Royal Mail 48 to provide an accurate weight and pre-advice for each item.

Having listened to customer feedback and to give you more time to meet this requirement, Royal Mail have now extended the timescale to the 28th of March 2022. Good news for many retailers – Q4 is hardly the time to be messing around and requiring new processes to be introduced.

“Customers posting via Royal Mail 24 and Royal Mail 48 will be required to provide an accurate weight and pre-advice for each item, unless they are using Royal Mail’s Basic Barcode solution or are a flat rate customer.

(A flat rate is a standard charge calculated by Royal Mail based on your posting profile for each Royal Mail 24 and Royal Mail 48 item where such standard charge applies for a fixed period of time.)”
