If you are not completely satisfied, simply let us know within the trial period. We’ll pick the equipment up at our cost, terminate the agreement and refund any additional unused postage. Remember - you only pay for any additional postage or supplies you use (an initial ‘postage deposit’ (see below) is required to set up your postage account).

What is the Postage Deposit?
The DM50™ operates Postage by Phone which is a prepaid facility. You hold an agreed deposit balance with Pitney Bowes that reflects your typical monthly mailing costs. As and when you download postage we collect the difference to ensure the balance is kept at the agreed level.

For example, if your agreed deposit balance is £200, we will automatically collect £200 from your account. When you download postage we will collect the difference to ensure your balance is maintained at £200, ready for your next transaction. Each time you use this, the Postage Reset fee is charged.

Please note that you will require an analog telephone line to use this service.

Why should we consider a franking machine?

If your business relies on mail shots, or indeed just sending out letters day in and day out, a franking machine saves you a lot of time and hassle at the post office. Imagine this scenario, you send about 100 letters per day to your clients, and potential clients. You bulk purchase stamps, which are rising all the time in price, thankfully you don’t have to lick the stamps anymore, but for example you use one stamp at a cost of 37p for a first class letter, now if you was using a franking machine, then you would pay about 35p, saving you 2p per envelope, plus having free business advertising and of course looking more professional.

You can use this free trial with no obligation to your business. You have £20.00 worth of free postage and whats more, if it doesnt benefit your business model, you can simply return it within 30 days without any fuss.

If you do send out a bulk amount of enevelopes everyday then the fact that your saving money, every time that you send out an envelope covers the cost of the rental so if your in the bulk mailing industry in the end you will be saving your business money each and every day.

Try it, it’s free, what have you got to lose?
