6th July 2013 and the latest stop on the ‘Post and Go’ world tour brings two Royal Mail Post and Go machines (A3 and A4) to the Warwickshire Exhibition Centre.

Some international rates (e.g. 40g ww) reduce. This should result in three new machins and some updated ones From a Post […]

At Spring Stampex 2013 , the continuing development of the Post and Go machines became very evident.
