How to find genuinely affordable options
Start with rental. Entry-level franking machine rentals are the lowest-cost way to start franking.
Compare quotes from at least two suppliers.
Watch consumables. Some cheap plans have expensive ink or labels.
Red flags to avoid
Vague pricing that only quotes weekly cost without contract length.
Aggressive renewal uplifts.
Suppliers unwilling to itemise ink, labels and servicing in writing.
What to ask suppliers
- Is the price quoted weekly or monthly, and what's the contract term?
- What is the renewal price uplift?
- Are ink and labels itemised in the quote?
- Is Mailmark included?
