What is Permit Mail?
- Permit mail is the easy way to send a 100 items or more at a time for delivery both within South Africa and overseas, without licking 100s of stamps or spending hours at a Franking Machine. The minimum of 1000 items only applies to Bulk Mail for which rebates are being claimed (applicable only to customers with graded databases)
Permit mail is the alternative to the postage-paid system. It comprises
- a permit insignia which is registered in the Post Office's name;
- a permit number which can be traced back to the client;
- the wording "South Africa"; and
- the official Post Office trademark.
