The Electronic Bulk Mail Delivery Note system (eBDN) supports posting and payment of bulk mail by customers by digitising the current paper-based (manual) bulk mail delivery note book.
To post bulk mail, customers need to access the eBDN website and complete the mail delivery note. This is followed by a digital certification exchange.
The eBDN is then captured as a sales order and customers can then post their mail at the indicated time and date as per the sales order.
Customers can also view their eBDNs, invoices and statements. A payment facility of consignment invoices is also offered.
Using the eBDN system:
The eBDN allows bulk mail customers to post their mail electronically. This function assists customers in planning their consignments in advance and to dispatch them electronically.
The eBDN is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The eBDN cannot be completed incorrectly as it is systems-driven and all rates, product codes, et cetera are up to date.
Customers are offered the added convenience of being able to quote (calculate their postal charges) before creating an order.
Customers can be billed and invoiced electronically.
Customers can view their eBDN invoices and statements, and pay for their bulk mail postings electronically.
Customers can print as many copies of the eBDN as they prefer for their own administrative purposes (mail room, finance, et cetera) at their site.
All transactions will be legal and valid and the system offers restricted access to eBDN, offering increased security.
The system verifies the availability of credit.
Where customers use mailing houses to administer their mail and consignments, the customer (originator of the mail) will still be able to view and pay for their electronic postings. Credit card payment and electronic funds transfers are accepted.
