Which OBA services use Average Weightsand/or WeightBands?

Average Weightsexplained

Some Royal Mail services as listed below allow you to use an average weight for all of the items you are posting on a specific day that are grouped by Service, Class, format, and Destination if using International service. The following is an example for RoyalMail 24/48 (CRL).

Example

If you have a number of items that you intend sending as Royal Mail 24/48 (CRL) and the items are all the same Class (1st or 2nd class) and Format (Large Letter or Parcel) but have various weights you can weigh the whole consignment and enter the average weight in OBA when you create your Sales Order.

E.g. You have the following items ready to post

Service / Class / Format / Items / Weight
CRL / 1st / Parcel / 1 / 1000
CRL / 1st / Parcel / 1 / 2000
CRL / 1st / Parcel / 1 / 500
CRL / 1st / Parcel / 1 / 750
CRL / 1st / Parcel / 1 / 3000

You would consolidate these into one line of datain OBA as follows

Service / Class / Format / Items / Avg Weight
CRL / 1st / Parcel / 5 / 1450
