Royal Mail Tariff Increase February 18th 2008 On 7th April 2008 Royal Mail will be implementing a price increase and it is expected that this will also impact on the various alternative mail providers as well, as their prices are usually "tagged" to Royal Mail's structure. The full proposed new rates are downloadable from Royal Mail's web site but, as this is a 33 page document, it may be quicker and easier for you to call your account handler at Cambertown if you have any specific concerns or if you want to know how this will affect your mailings. If you have any large mailings in the pipeline, you can of course save yourself some money on postage by bringing the deadline forward to beat the price increase. Speak to our sales team who will be happy to assist you with scheduling this if necessary. Royal Mail increase minimum charge for paper dockets January 14th 2008 Clients who use paper docket books to send their mail via their Royal Mail accounts should note that from April 2008, Royal Mail will increase the minimum charge for a paper docket mailing from £5.00 to £20.00. So if you only have a few items to send (eg if the bulk of your mailing has gone mailsort and there are only a few standard tarrif or overseas items to go on a paper docket) potentially this will be charged at £20.00 even if the actual postage value is only a few pence. The way round this is to switch to Royal Mail's online business account (OBA). Please ask your account handler at Cambertown for details. While we're on the subject of postage generally, could we again remind clients that we really need the size, dimensions and weight of the item to be posted at the earliest possible stage in each mailing, especially if you are asking us to cost out the mailing via several alternative methods to see which is the most cost-effective - thanks!

Good Idea, Bad Timing! November 15th 2007 We realise that direct mail, e-commerce and fulfilment might not be everyday requirements for some companies or organisations. If you have irregular work of this nature that only happens at specific times of the year, or new campaigns coming up that you would like us to estimate on, we’ve now set up a page on this site where you can go to register your interest in the service that you might require, and to specify when you need to be contacted, and we’ll then remember and give you a call or contact you at your required time. To go to the “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You” page, click here Fresh new look, bright new services, same high standards August 16th 2007 Cambertown today launches a new look with a fresh identity and brand new website. "It’s all part of a move to keep things fresh and relevant to customers, and to reflect what we do best - the seamless delivery of direct mail, e-commerce and fulfilment", said Terry Sorfleet, managing director. "With over 20 years in the business we wanted to review where we are, what matters to clients and what we can do to improve our offer. And this is the result!" As part of our re-branding, we asked clients selected at random what mattered most and the answers were enlightening. You appreciate our honesty, you enjoy the quality of our work and the ‘attention to detail’ we put into everything. Responsiveness was important, as was the personal touch we bring to our work. We valued your input and wish to thank those who contributed. As well as our new look, we’re also celebrating a new addition to our family of direct mail and fulfilment services - e-commerce is now available! We’ll build and host your e-shop and then run it, fulfilling orders, managing stock and issuing you with regular sales reports. It’s good news even for clients who already have an online shop - we can simply interface with that to fulfil your customers’ orders. Welcome to the all new Cambertown. We’re very excited about the future and look forward to working with you. | ||||||
