This month's changes to the way Royal Mail charges for mail means businesses need to act now to avoid higher bills. However, just as many need to act now to ensure they don't miss an opportunity, says Alex Blyth. On 21 August Royal Mail will change the way it charges for mail. From that date the amount paid for postage will be determined by the size and shape of your letter or parcel,as well as its weight and the speed of its delivery.This is a major change, which Royal Mail estimates will affect 30% of all business mail. Yet many businesses are unprepared for the change. When they receive their first higher bill for postal services they will probably sit up and take notice. By acting now, however, businesses can save themselves that shock.
