Abstract

Method for dispatching, by one mailer to a number of different addresses, mail pieces, such as letters. For this purpose the mailer collects the still unfranked mail pieces in a special collective package, together with an order signed by him. The order card is provided with a preferably machine-readable identification of the mailer. The mailer submits the closed collective package for dispatch. In a distribution node, the package is opened; the mail pieces are counted, weighed and franked by a franking machine. On the basis of the mailer identification and the data in the franking machine, the mailer receives a specified invoice, and the payment is taken care of automatically.
