Online Business Account
In brief the Royal Mail’s Online Business Account (commonly referred to as ‘OBA’ allows those who post mail to create an electronic posting docket which accompanies the mail. Using OBA is free, provides easier ordering and invoicing, along with detailed management reporting. Paper dockets (or posting cheques) may still be used but in a push to reduce costs, and increase the efficiency of the service, Royal Mail are ’encouraging’ all of their customers to use OBA.  Continuing to use the paper dockets will mean incurring a £20 minimum order value charge with a £1 handling fee from 1st January 2010.
