Royal Mail Wholesale invites our customers to input into the Zonal Costing Methodology consultation paper.

In this consultation we propose a revision to the costing methodology, using estimates of postcode sector costs that would retain the current definition of zones.

We are also looking at a further option that would involve redefining the zones on the basis of estimated postcode sector costs better to reflect costs. Prior to April 2012 this option might need to be explored further to ensure that the zones are fit for purpose beyond 2012.

We seek our customers' views, and those of other interested parties, to the consultation questions in the attached document below.
