TNT Post targets small-business customers

LONDON - TNT Post has launched a new mail delivery service aimed at lower volume mailers such as SMEs, promising cost savings of up to 20% on Royal Mail's standard service.

PremierSortFlex offers two- to three-day delivery, depending on the proximity of customers to TNT Post's sorting centres. TNT Post has sorting centres in Leeds, Bristol and Wellingborough, with others due to open soon.

The company says it will offer convenient collection times while its sorting process also claims to reduce the number of un-routable and rejected items, before it delivers the sorted mail to Royal Mail centres for final delivery.

Nick Wells, chief executive of TNT Post UK, said: "This is great news for small to medium businesses in the UK that they now have the choice of an alternative modern mailing solution, and it is not just the large corporates who are reaping the rewards of competition in the mail market."
