- For updates on booked return orders contact UPS directly on 0845 1610015.
- If you have selected the view/print a label option when booking a return, a driver will not be arranged to collect the machine. This option is for drop-off to a UPS access point only. Please select the option ‘3 UPS On-call pick up’ and this will trigger a collection from your premises within 3 working days.
5. Returning a Purchased meter
Under the terms of your Royal Mail Franking license if you are not intending to use the equipment again it will need to be officially withdrawn and decommissioned.
- The postal security device within the machine remains the property of Pitney Bowes and once removed the machine can be returned to you or we can dispose of it via our environmentally friendly WEEE waste process.
- If you do not want your purchased meter collected, an annual inspection is required to verify the readings, as the machine is still licensed with Royal Mail.
