How does it work?

We become your digital mailroom team, so you can spend more time on the work that matters most to your members.

Start by choosing the address for all member and employer correspondence. Then UK Postbox will deliver secure, compliant, and prompt digital mail handling on your behalf.

You can use UK Postbox for any item mailing as and when needs arrive. Send and receive membership welcome packs, voting papers and newsletters. Complete mail-based administration from your office. All incoming and outgoing mail and correspondence can be managed digitally, linked to existing systems and automatically sorted.

Trade Unions

Every account has access to our platform and online mail management features. We provide everything needed to manage mail across your memberships from anywhere at any time.

Correspondence addresses for trade unions

Our digital solutions can transform the way you handle printed and digital membership communications, providing flexibility, quick response times whilst reducing postage costs. Here are some examples of what you can do:‍

Mail delivery address

Use as the delivery address for all inbound letters and parcels sent to your trade union. We’ll receive mail on your behalf at our secure, compliant facility.

Official correspondence address

Use as the official post-handling address all letter correspondence and parcels should be sent to when your trade union is contacted.

Stationery address

Include your official address on all stationery, such as letterheads, email footers, your website and any other documents that are externally facing.

Department addresses

Use an official address so that you can manage your mail independently. Create multiple accounts and addresses for each department as required.

Remote address

Your official address can be used and accessed from anywhere, making it a viable option for remote working secretaries who receive regular mail communications.

Mail sorting facility

Use your official address as a mail sorting facility prior to distributing post to trade union members.
