Minimum and maximum item weights
There is no minimum item weight and the maximum item weight is 2kg. Items over 2kg can be sent using our Parcel service. Your Spring Global Mail representative can give you further details about this service.

Preparing your mail
We can take care of most of the mail preparation for you. However, if you can perform some of this work, you may qualify for a lower price.

Indicia
You will not usually need to pre-print indicia on your envelopes. We will do this for you by either franking the mail or applying a self-adhesive sticker containing the correct postal indicia.

For large volume mailings, we might request that you pre-print indicia if the envelopes or address carrier sheets have not already been produced.

Documentation
Each mailing must be accompanied by a Consignment Note. This document is easy to complete and contains all the information we need to process your mail.

Upon set-up of your account, we will supply you with Consignment Notes pre-printed with your account details.

Arranging a collection
When you have mail to send out, simply call our Customer Service Department or use our online tools, either way a representative will arrange a pick up.
Collections are made by PostNL, former TNT, (the majority shareholder in the Spring Global Mail joint venture) unless you are sending a large mailing requiring dedicated haulage. In this case we will make arrangements with a specialist third-party transport provider.

How much does it cost?
There are a number of variables which will determine the tariff we can offer you. These include the required delivery speed, the size, weight and volume of your mail.

For this reason, a pre-printed tariff wouldn’t help you. Instead, we would ask you to provide a ‘profile’ of the mail you are sending which we will use to create your tailor-made quotation.

If you would like us to create tariff for you business needs, contact us at +1 888 624 5327. We usually suggest a meeting with one of our account managers in order to gain a full understanding of your international mailing requirements and to explain our services in more detail.
