DSA

Who/What is a DSA?

Since the loss of the postal monopoly by Royal Mail in January 2006, DSA’s (Downstream Access) are licensed companies that directly compete with Royal Mail to process, sort and deliver your post, though in the vast majority of cases (99%) these companies still present your items to Royal Mail for the ‘final mile’ or in simple terms… delivery to your door.

Postage prices are competitive as mail processing costs for the DSA’s are lower than Royal Mail’s. This means that your current postage costs could be greatly reduced. Companies have seen savings of thousands of pounds on their annual mailings just by changing their service provider.
