Thanks again Nic. Just started using PPI, its a lot to take on but the RM team are helpful and once you get the hang its easy. I also invested in a Dymo Label writer, labels in a couple of seconds rather than waiting for my printer to warm up.

@mrgboye1 7 лет назад

Hi, Just a bit of advice mate you shouldn't show your address on RU-vid or anyone else, there's a lot of mad people out there. Very good videos though I am learning a lot, thanks

@mariadebarros5972 5 лет назад

And your business account number!!!

@thefiestaguy8831 4 года назад

Makes no difference, if he's registered as a business, unless he's using a virtual office type setup then his registered business address will be his home address, which anyone can find online by doing a company search anyway. The bit I disagree with here is him showing all his customer's addresses.

@andreaswheeler 9 лет назад

its funny how so many people are ready to bash royal mail, but some of their services are just so useful. customers can pick up from sorting offices and you can post at post offices , which is very handy

@SebastianMeikle 8 лет назад

Wow, this is a lot of effort. With UKMail, I just print the label stick it on my parcel. The driver then collects and scans the parcels. All packages are tracked from door to door.

@Dplaysitcool 7 лет назад

Seb Meikle do you sell a similar volume of stuff as this guy? just curious...

@zahidBaloch-qn1pp 7 лет назад

Danny Seaton well different bags for different class of mails. local post office staff do not like this as they don't get any revenue from ppi. their prices are not much different than personal account. the royal mail do not send mailing bags with that pack and you have to beg these bags from local post office. lost mails are not covered for insurance. overall still a better service than many other curiore companies.

@Dplaysitcool 7 лет назад

napoleon one I'm just starting out, so trying to get as many perspectives as possible. from what I'm reading/watching. it's seems anything up to a large letter or small parcel, then RM is the way to go. but larger and heavier than that. a curior service is far cheaper??

@TomTheEnglishPicker 9 лет назад

Great video Nic, really clear good information. I've had the Royal mail call me again and again trying to get me to use this service. But I only sell one item a day in the week and may be 10 over a weekend. So to be honest its just as quick for me to pop into the post office even if I do pay more.

@NicHills 9 лет назад

Tom The English Picker Yeah, this won't be for everyone, I have been chatting on the Facebook page with some people who have received all their stuff from the Royal Mail and are confused as to what to do with it all :) so the video is just to answer a few basic questions for those starting to use their accounts :)

@DiscusMagic 9 лет назад

Hi, great vid. I have an account and rather than the stamping on the parcels I get stickers made up which also include my return address, prolly works out a bit more than stamping them on though. Also as I'm not vat registered I use codes bpl and bpr which is I think 0.60 for large letter and 2.50 for parcel with no vat on top, but obviously I have to do each weight band as a seperate bag - good if all your items are in the same weight band. For signed for, I still have to get the items scanned in the post office.

@cliffbone3430 4 года назад

Thanks for the video it has helped me, as I am new to the OBA and the royal mail videos are not very clear

@waynemcckn 9 лет назад

I'm envious of those shipping prices. Here in Canada it costs about that rate to ship only 1 parcel! I normally just sell small items that I can send as large lettermail.

@NicHills 9 лет назад

@LukeChandlerDesign 9 лет назад

There's a rumour that they are doing away with handstamps at the end of this year. You can still get them made up at a small fee. Personally I use labels with a label printer. You just have to download your ppi stamp from the link they email you and then print the image off. You can also print onto standard paper and use sellotape. Labels are super fast and will work better on mailer bags but if you're using jiffys like Nic then handstamps work great

@DanJ237 9 лет назад

LukeChandlerDesign Yea I signed up for OBA maybe 1-2months ago I never received the handstamps but as you say I print my postage direct on the label does the job.

@NicHills 9 лет назад

You have to order the handstamps - they charge you extra.

@henab765 8 лет назад

Hi please can you give details on how you send parcels to international locations such as the USA- what's the processes, steps and requirements to sending the parcels. And lastly how do you drop the parcels off at the post office and if there is more than one parcel to be delivered to the same location, how do you fill out the required forms (customs declaration I think) out? Sorry and thank you!

@NicHills 8 лет назад

+Shaks K International is done the same way, just using the 1st class stamp and customer stickers provided by the Royal Mail. I drop off the parcels in sealed mail sacks at any post office or sorting office or you can have them collected from your home/office. Parcels to the same location?? just process them as normal - not sure I understand the question.... the customs forms are just a sticker that you fill in some basic info about cost - weight etc

@bariwala 9 лет назад

Hi Nic, great video. As I work for royalmail and this message is for everyone who has OBA. Can you make sure the items are Not posted in pillar boxes. 2 reasons, number 1 we need to verify what is posted and does the items match the paper work. Number 2 pillar boxes are designed for letters not parcels. Please please take it to your local post office or your nearest sorting office.

@fathersunglasses6085 9 лет назад

Rafik Patel Cant remember if ive asked already now apologise if i hve, how many items do you need to post a week to have a royal mail ppi account? and for example if its 10 and you have more than 10 items one week and another week you have maybe only 8 do you hve to just go and pay full price at the post office

@oliverromain 9 лет назад

Great video. I undstand you can also drop at the sorting office my sorting office is 150 metres away and doesn't have big queues :). I take it that you don't get proof of posting of an item using this method. I have been diligently getting proof of postage on my ebay sales but given the fact that I have had no post go missing, perhaps its not worth the bother. Does anyone have any thoughts on the benefits of proof of posting versus the post office queues?

@Abaddon3x7 5 лет назад

11.33 he says 100g Large Letter is 69p, 2019 its 83p, that's an increase of 20%, that's 5% every year. The Government sets that rate at the post office, that will be what real inflation is, 5% a year, due to the banks making money from nothing every time someone wants a loan, they then print the money for the debt, (from nothing) More 'new' money means currency gets devalued as (money is relative to goods and services). Your money is devaluing at 5% a year, the bank doesnt give you that in interest, your losing money. But the Goverment doesnt lose, because they are hiking the prices, 5% every year.

One question that this video doesn't answer (unless I missed it) If for example I do have some 2nd class signed for large letters or parcels I log these as a seperate order but do these signed for items go in the same sacks as none signed for large letters or parcels respectively or do they have their own sack? e.g. One sack with 2nd class large letters and signed for large letters mixed or Two sacks: One with normal 2nd class large letters and one with 2nd class signed for large letters?

Can you explain how you use the Signed For Labels? So when I order the labels how do I scan them and pay for them or how does it work??

@NicHills 8 лет назад

you stick a label on the package - record it in your log book and get the book date stamped, if there is an issue with the parcel you use the book as a record to make a claim - the items are not scanned into the system but are recorded at the point of delivery.

@hannajaskolska9203 7 лет назад

Another great video,thank you.I have a question actually regarding doing a listing on ebay if you could share please.Do you make just simple item listing,like simple item description only whatever is necessary or do you do it like all''fancy'',like nice looking,making long phrases to play on people's emotions etc?The reason I am asking is as over a year ago I tried selling on ebay for the first time and I followed some training,actually a few different ones and all of them were showing this beautiful descriptions,backgrounds etc I am just thinking now does it really help...does it really work or just simple way of doing it would be better...

@NicHills 7 лет назад

It depends a bit on the item, if the item warrants a lot of description then I will do it but on the whole I keep it brief and to the point - let the pictures do the talking - on most items I copy my title into the description box and add some condition details and that is it.

I'm about to sign up with them and they said i'd have to print out the special able with my code for each package which i found a bit of putting. The way you do it is way better and so much less hassle.

hi, Nick. Your video is very helpful. Thanks. Do you know how to retain the prove of posting in case some of the mail get lost on the way?

@NicHills 8 лет назад

+osmand2008 You can ask at any post office for a proof of postage

@osmand2008 8 лет назад

+Nic Hills (UK Ebay Reseller) do you keep those? I found out I need to fill one more form to get it stamped. That crest more work

@NicHills 8 лет назад

I don't bother with proof of postage - just send my expensive items recorded.

Hi, i want to thank you for your video, it was of great help. One question i have is how come you do not use the BPL code(vat exempt prices) the prices are cheaper if your not Vat registered?

@NicHills 9 лет назад

TruthAddict Truthaddict Good question... I use the codes I was told to use when I started with the account - what codes do you use for large letters and parcels ? I will try them and see if they work :)

@truthaddicttruthaddict5951 9 лет назад

Nic Hills i will be using code BPL for letters and large letters and code CRL for parcels. First time i am posting and finished setting everything up.

@NicHills 9 лет назад

OK cool - i will try those codes and see if they work on my account :)

Which one of the two Royal Mail vs My Hermes come out cheaper in the long run? Is there any other reason why it would be better to use either?

@NicHills 6 лет назад

Royal Mail is cheaper for large letter size items - Hermes can be cheaper for parcels and everything goes tracked... if you have a business account with RM account then parcel prices are very similar...

Hi Nick, I am again I opened one royal mail OBA. I just trial did for second class large stamp. It costs £0.63 plus vat £0.13 total will be £0.76. This is expensive than post office. In post office only £0.73 for second class large stamp. So what is the benefits by cost on OBA please? Thanks.

Just a quick question ... I thought ebay sellers are advised to use the Paypal confirmed address, rather than the address on Ebay ... How then can you print labels directly from Ebay, if as often happens the Paypal address is different to the address shown on Ebay. Thank you !
