Key design information
When you use the International Admail service, you must design a different reply-paid device for each country; this design differs if you wish your customers to return letters or packets.
For country specific design information for packets and letters, refer to our International Business Response user guide (see link above).Approval
You must send us each proposed design for approval. You are also required to give us an indication of the numbers and weights of the items you expect to be returned to you. This will allow us to give you the most efficient service possible by pre-alerting our International Distribution Centre.
How items are returned to you
After your customers have mailed their replies to the local PO Box, the AA code within the address (issued to you on account set up) allows us to identify the replies as yours, and forward them back to your designated UK address.
Replies should take up to ten working days.
For more information refer to our International Business Response user guide (see link above). -
