Click and drop paperwork

[EdHarrison]

About to start click and drop as we are all forced to barcoded mail...

I understand a manifest has to be presented when dropping off at a post office

Is there any tag or paperwork that needs to be physically attached to the mail bags?

Thank you

[Goz]

To be clear, Ed, is this the Royal Mail Click & Drop as opposed to the Post Office Drop & Go scheme?

If so, then yes. You need a tag completed with some details (consignment number, poster address and type of mail) which is secured to the bag using a cable tie 1st Class mail is red and 2nd Class is green. You obtain them through your Royal Mail online account along with mail bags; cable ties; 6x4 labels etc

You also need a manifest which is an A4 report that details how many bags and what type of mail is in each bag. The manifest is produced by Click & Drop when you've uploaded your CSV file and confirmed postage.

Thank you yes its Royal mail click and drop for business, currently we use the red tags on our bags via OBD

I do pretty much as Goz says.

I put my account number on the red tag rather than my address. Other than that it's the same although I produce my labels one at a time manually rather than uploading a CSV file. And I just staple my manifest to the red tag. Royal Mail should scan the barcode on the manifest when you hand it over.

Genius idea Mike! Wish I'd thought of that!

Thanks Mike, that's how I do it with OBD at present, I'm going to stay manual to now as there are too many errors from customers
