True or False?It is not important to handle outgoing mail.
Sometimes it is alright to not include the address on the envelope.
All outgoing mail must be collected every two weeks.
There is no need to seal the envelope before posting the mail.
Postcards are those refer to articles such as samples or gifts weighing more than 500 grams.
Using a Franking MachineOnce the correct postage is calculated, it
needs to be affixed to the mail.Some offices use franking machines to do
this.A FRANKING MACHINE makes an imprint
of the postage on an envelope when the envelope passes through it.
Is franking machine useful?Yes, because it saves time and manpower.The meter on the franking machine keeps a
record of the values of postage bought and used.
The machine can be locked so that it will not be misused.
Unlike stamps, which may be easily lost or misused, the franking machine provides a measure of control over the use of postage.
FRANKED MAIL does not need to be processed by the post office sorting section.
It is put directly into special bags; hence, it reaches its destination much faster than stamped mail.
