Using A Franking Machine At Home

Yes, you can use a franking machine at home. With more people running eBay and Amazon businesses from home, a compact franking machine is an easy way to cut postage costs and send mail without trips to the Post Office. Rentals start low, so a home franking machine is more affordable than many people expect.

Franking machines are not just for the mailroom

When we think of a franking machine, the first place that comes to mind is a mailroom or office building. But with more and more people sending large volumes of mail directly from home, that is no longer the whole picture. With eBay and Amazon constantly growing, it is not unusual for work-from-home sellers to send large volumes of post every day or week. In these cases, a franking machine is an ideal solution.

Saving money with a franking machine

A common question we receive is how much a franking machine can save. Franking is cheaper per item than buying stamps, and a regular home seller sending dozens of items a week can save a meaningful amount each month – often enough to cover the cost of the machine itself.

Postage rates change, so rather than quote figures that go out of date, work out your own savings with our franking savings calculator.

Franking machines suit all mail volumes

Set aside the traditional view of a franking machine as part of the mailroom furniture. If you run any kind of mail order from home, you can benefit from one – and it is probably far more affordable than you imagine, with rentals starting at a low price.
