Order fulfilment | About us | Contact us
BTB Mailflight is part of Europe's second largest postal operator, so once we have picked and packed an order we are able to offer a wide range of UK and international postal and courier services to get it to your customer, whether that's a consumer or business address, in the UK or overseas.
We are able to offer a range of postal services and packet and parcel services including signed-for and trackable options.
Our mail order distribution prices are often what makes our overall mail order fulfilment solution the most cost effective, as postage is typically one of the most costly parts of running a mail order business.
Standard UK mail distribution
We are one of Royal Mail's largest partners, they colect from us daily and we handle the full range of Royal Mail services:
Standard first class and second class mail.
Mailsort 1, 2 and 3.
Presstream
Packet Post
Special Delivery
Registered Mail
We also provide alternative UK mail solution know as DownStream Access (DSA) which can provide savings compared to Mailsort 2 but with a delivery aim of two days, compared to Mailsort 2's two to three day delivery aim.
International mail distribution
We have been one of the UK's leading international mailing houses for over 25 years and in March 2008 we became part of the La Poste Group (Europe's second largest postal and fulfilment group) so we provide one of the widest range of international mailing services and options in the market.
Our international postage prices are some of the lowest available, and our IMDAS Accreditiation proves that our services are reliable. Our international postal services include:
Priority and standard/economy services.
All service categories: Letter, flats (large letters, catalogues, brochures, books, magazines, journals etc), and >packets (which is typically what most product orders are).
Mail consolidation, sortation, bagging and tagging.
Direct entry and local look mailing and reply service.
Returns management & query handling.
UK and international courier services
We provide a mix of standard, trackable and signed-for courier options available from UK and international courier and frieght operators, including those shown below.
We handle thousands of despatches on behalf of many clients so are therefore able to get trade rates which are much cheaper than their standard tariffs.

M-Bags: cost effective international mail weighing 2KG - 11KG
Normal international mail is designed for up to two kilos per piece, so some companies will automatically recommend a courier service for heavier mail, however BTB Mailflight's M-Bag service is sometimes a more suitable option.
With M-Bags you can place as much mail as you can for one address into our specifically designed bags with a weight limit of eleven kilos. M-Bags are individually priced and are much more cost effective, as there are lower sortation and delivery costs.
