Subscription & Publishing Mail

The way consumers are purchasing titles is changing - subscriptions are seeing an increase in popularity versus newsstands and high street sales. At Royal Mail, we want to help you to benefit from the changes to consumer behaviour. We have created cost-effective ways for you to send your editorial titles, with a range of options and a choice of delivery services.

If you are a publisher sending at least 1,000 editorial titles (magazines, journals or newsletters), twice a year or more, then we have a dedicated mail service for you. We offer competitive pricing, with free collection of sorted items and free returns.
