THAT'S ALL FOLKS

We've picked everything we can pick and sent everything we can send. All we have left to do is eat the rest of the Christmas chocolates and get the warehouse in shape for 2012. I'll take care of the chocolates...

Over the Christmas and New Year period the website will continue to process your orders as normal and will assemble them for us to start despatching again when we're back in the office on 3rd Jan. Please note that the sales line and online enquiry system will not be available until then.

We'd like to this opportunity to thank you for your custom in 2011. We've all worked extremely hard to make sure things ran as smoothly as possible and we're looking forward to fulfilling your mailing needs in 2012.

Merry Christmas from us to you, and we wish you a safe, happy and prosperous New Year.

Mr MAILROOM'S CHRISTMAS JUKEBOX

Open up the office tin of sweets and dive into THIS LITTLE CLASSIC

.

.

.

A GOOD IDEA

I thought it would be a good idea to memo the Mr Mailroom team suggesting everyone come dressed as ELVES today.... I guess my spelling needs a bit of work.

 

Keep going folks.. we're nearly there!

.

.

ORDER IN TIME!

Due to the adverse weather now affecting parts of the UK, some parcels may be delayed. All courier companies route parcels through central hubs and depots so even if the weather is OK where you live, your parcels may be held up in another part of the UK.

Where possible please allow extra time for your delivery to arrive.

Don't forget you can log in to your account and track your Mr Mailroom delivery at any time after despatch!

BEST BUY BUBBLE ENVELOPES

We get many emails asking for advice on the different bubble-lined mailers that are available and invarably it comes down to cost. Some customers prefer certain brands and we're happy to be able offer that but to answer the question "which is the cheapest" we'd suggest our best buy bubble bag..

Featherpost Bubble Envelopes

Stocked in white, gold, extra-strong oyster, we also now stock handypacks so you can keep different sizes on your shelf without keeping 100's in your storeroom.

.

.

.

WITH CHRISTMAS FAST APPROACHING...

 
Let's Talk Beer!

Our sister company.. The Online Homebrew Company are still offering 10% discount on all orders for a limited time to allow YOU to see just how much fun it can be making your own beer or wine!

It's easy, its a massive money saver and it's great fun. Gone are the days when you've got to have a bath full of yeast for a month, just grab yourself a starter kit and you're off and running. The only hard part is choosing which lager, bitter, stout, cider or wine you'll try next! So get brewing in time for Christmas at a cost of just 20p per pint and have a VERY merry Christmas!

(Dear Online Homebrew, does this loving blog qualify me for another lager kit?)

HELPING US, HELPING YOU, HELPING US, HELPING YOU!

ARE WE THE CHEAPEST C5 YOU CAN FIND?

If we're not then let us know!

We stock manilla and white C5 envelopes in wallets (open side) and pockets (open end) in self-seal, peel & seal and gummed versions. With or without window.

Not only is there a great choice they're a great price! If we're not as cheap as your current supplier then let us know. Careful though, the shock might kill us...

.

.

.

EVER TRIED TO PACK A PADDED BAG?

Doesn't matter how much you try and squeeze into a padded bag, it won't give up. It might be too full and won't close but these bad boys will keep taking as much as you can fit in! It's like a battle of wills between you and the bag... Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough!

If you're sending anything rugged or perhaps heavy items then think Mail Lite padded bags and try packing a padded!

My money is on the bag...

.

.

DON'T JUST STORE IT, ARCHIVE IT!

Quick mention for the Mr Mailroom Archive Boxes, they arrive and can be stored flat packed but spring into shape without requiring a degree in origami to put them together.

They have a lid attached and are so sturdy you could store all sorts of incriminating evidence run of the mill office paperwork for years without your store room resembling a jumble sale.

In summary, they are excellent so please buy some. Nuff said...

.

.

.

OOOH, WHAT'S IN THERE THEN?!

Fancy a change to your mailings, something to brighten them up? Perhaps inject a little colour into your delivery, stand out from the crowd as it were?

May we suggest having a browse through the Mr Mailroom range of coloured bubble bags? Still very strong and protective but in a variety of colours, available on boxes of just 100 bags.

Eye catching.. Image conscious.. Inviting...

.

.

.

ANOTHER GREYT IDEA...(sic)

Our most popular polythene mail bag is now available in handypacks!

Economy Grey Mailing Bags come in 9 different sizes and in bulk buys of 250-1000 bags per box but we're also now stocking them in handypacks of just 100 (or 50 in the big daddy size) which means you can keep a choice of sizes in your packing area without needing to keep 1000's on your shelves.

Order what you want, not what you have to.... thanks to Mr Mailroom's handypacks!

.

.

.

BUBBLE ENVELOPES

Some are born to lead and others born to follow and we are up front carrying a flag and blowing a horn on this one...

Our new Featherpost Handypacks are proving a huge hit already. We've got 6 envelope sizes in handypacks of 10 bags to cater for just about all of your pre-christmas packing needs without leaving a hole in your bank account, you see we let you order what you need, not what you have to!

Handypacks from Mr Mailroom - we're BIG on small packs.

.

.

.

THAT'S HANDY!

Introducing HANDYPACKS from Mr Mailroom... Same great products in smaller packs.

Are you using 5 different sizes of bubble bags but don't want to buy 500 bags? Do you use some tape but not loads of tape? Would 1000 document enclosed wallets last you a year or more? Well worry no more becuase we're now selling our best selling lines in handypacks especially for you!

Featherpost Bubble-Lined Bags!

Brown and Clear Packing Tape!

Jiffy Padded Bags!

Document Enclosed Wallets!

and there's more to come!

We're working to bring you closer to items that are normally available in large quantities. If you have any suggestions please CONTACT US, because when you talk, we listen!  Unless it's my wife chattering on about work, or her mum or something or other...

.

.

.

INTRODUCING... FEATHERPOST EXTRA!

A little "extra" has been added to our Featherpost range in the form of super-tough FEATHERPOST EXTRA bubble-lined bags. They are produced with a tougher oyster outer but still with fantastic sancell bubble lining and a strong peel & seal flap.

When you need a bit extra, think Featherpost Extra!
.
.

.

.

.

BLUE IS THE COLOUR

We recently added a new economy range of blue mail order bags to the racks and jolly popular they are too! That's economy in price, not quality!

Made from a strong 3-layer polythene and finished with a super permanent seal on the flap they are perfect for sending good via carrier or Royal Mail. They are NON-SEE THROUGH so when it gets left with nosey neighbours they'll be stumped!

Shiny & strong.. you can't go wrong!

.

. 

.

THE OLD DAYS...

If you need something to keep your pecker up, this week is the 25th anniversary of Nick Berry being number one on the charts with "Every Loser Wins". Proof that not everything was "better in the old days".

 

Now make yourself a coffee and be thankful!

.

.

MAILING CLOTHES?

We've not done much to publicise our range of GARMENT BAGS, so let's put that right!

These are a clear polyprop presentation bag to hold shirts, jumpers, t-shirts etc with a peel & seal flap most commonly used in the clothing industry. They keep the garment clean and ensure it looks good when the customer receives it. They have air holes so you can fit more into a box and they each display printed warning message in 5 languages.

If you're sending clothes via mail order, Amazon or Ebay, ensure they arrive with a professional look in Mr Mailroom garment bags. If you're sending me anything I'm an XL...

YOU CAN'T BEAT A BIT OF CORRY...

No, we're not talking Ena Sharples and Annie Walker (are they still in Coronation Street??) we're talking corrugated paper rolls for wrapping and packing...

 

Now available from our shelves in the FIVE most popular sizes ranging from 150mm (6" in old money) up to 750mm, each roll is a long lasting 75m in length. 

.

BIG ON BOARDBACKS.... LOW ON PRICE!

Had a look at the Mr Mailroom range of boardbacked envelopes lately?? 

We openly encourage you to shop around.. you'll find we are by far the best in the business with low prices and fast delivery.

In fact we're sooo cheap on these "PLEASE DO NOT BEND" envelopes we should be saying..
"PLEASE DO NOT BUY TOO MANY!"

.

.

.

BAG IT UP....

.

The sales team have been working on our range of Polythene bags and have managed to achive the following:

• More Sizes to choose from!
• Smaller pack qtys so you can buy less!
• Bigger discounts for multipack orders!

Gold stars all round! See what you think... CLICK ME

.

.

PICK EM, PACK EM, POST EM!

.

Brand spanking new sizes are available in our range of WHITE POSTAL BOXES.

In addition to the white boxes with a reference print we now offer plain white in six new sizes bringing the grand total to FIFTEEN boxes to choose from.

They arrive and can be stored flat, assembling quickly and easily to form a sturdy, image concious box that will protect and compliment your delivery. Well thats what my sales manager says... They're already selling like hot cakes so he must be right!

.

.

A DROP OF SCOTCH?

We are delighted to announce the introduction of the famous Scotch Brand tape to our shelves.


Scotch Brand Crossweave Tape

NEW SIZES ADDED TO BUBBLE and CORRY

.

We've added some new sizes to our range of Bubblewrap including a pink anti-static version for use on electrical equipment. Feel free to use it on anything if you just like pink...

Same goes for the Corrugated Paper rolls, more sizes to choose from but not in pink. That would be ridiculous.

Both can be found in Wrapping and Packing along with newsprint offcuts, tissue paper, chips and kraft paper.

. .

.

BOXES, BOXES and MORE BOXES!

.

We have finally updated our range of SINGLE and DOUBLE WALL   CARDBOARD PACKING BOXES.

THE PRODUCT THAT PAYS FOR ITSELF!

.

How many hours does your business lose every year while your packers look for the tape gun, try in vain to cut a strip of bubblewrap to the right size or spend just trying to pack awkwardly on the warehouse floor?

I'll answer that for you...... TOO MANY!

Give some thought to installing one of these all-in-one PACKING STATIONS. As the picture explains it does the lot, holds bubble / corry roll under the counter with a handy cutter on the benchtop, has shelving to hold your cartons, bags, labels and tapes. Everything in one place, just like Mr Mailroom.co.uk.

.

.

OFFICE ENVELOPES

.

Shop around dear customer but you'll not find a range of white and manilla OFFICE ENVELOPES at Mr Mailroom prices! Choose from DL, C5, C4, C6 and more, spilt into sizes, or styles so you can shop easily.

If you're a little unsure of what you need why not use our jargon busting GUIDE TO BUYING ENVELOPES which is linked from the top of each envelope page. 

.

.

.

.

MORE MORE MORE! HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?

.

We've added SIX smashing new sizes to our range of white postal boxes. We've listened to your feedback and have included bigger boxes in the selection.They're all plain white without a reference print.

SPREAD A LITTLE LOVE...

.

To anyone off to V Fest this weekend we hope you have a great time. It was actually on this day back in 1969 that Woodstock ended. If you don't remember it, Woodstock was three days of Love with a bit of Rock n Roll thrown in, held in New York state. 400,000 fans and they didn't even have the Wombles to keep them happy.

Our offering of peace and love comes in the form of DL Envelopes from as little as 12.99 per 1000. I know it's not quite the same as 3 days of sex but it's a hell of a saving.

As Ringo would say.. peace and love.. peace and love      and wellies

.

.

WE'VE GOT IT ON TAPE!

.

Standard brown and clear in THREE varieties, a range of coloured tapes, crossweave, masking and bag neck tapes all available off the shelf PLUS we can produce bespoke printed packing tape with your name, logo, brand name or picture on it if you'd prefer something made to measure...

Have a little looky here.. Mr Mailroom Tapes and Labels

.

.

THIS MORNING...

.

I can't quite put my finger on why I stopped at the cafe on the way to work today but I'm tempted to stay here all day. Apologies if this leaves you craving for a full english! 

If it's any consolation I'm eating this with you in mind!

 

.

.

FOCUS ON... ECO FRIENDLY POLY MAILERS

.

Introducing our new range of mean, green mailing bags.. Green in colour and in attitude.. 100% degradable and although fastened with an unbreakable adhesive on the flap, thanks to the seperate seal, they are also reuseable! Just snip off the end of the flap and reseal!

They'll store safely for up to twelves months and are made from 70 micron strong polythene so lightweight to save on postage yet tough enough to look after your package.

Samples available upon request. Buy these and put that nice warm feeling in your belly that you did your bit to day to help the environment. Medals in the post!

 

PRODUCT SEARCH

.

Our IT department often get a rough ride from me, geeky little Jedi knights sat there quoting Doctor Who and Harry Potter all day, but hats off to them, they do a blooming good job.

They have spent many hours working on our product search facility and I have to say I'm impressed. So much so that I sat up half the night testing it to try and catch them out, without success.

Whatever you're looking for, try the search facility box in the top right hand corner of the home page if the clearly marked buttons on the left cannot help. May the force be with you...

.

.

NEW PRODUCTS IN POLYTHENE MAIL BAGS

You could drown in that much depth! Go on, have look at cardboard boxes.


.

.

MY MASTER PLAN..... FOILED!

.

Just take a gander at this brand new range of coloured foil envelopes...

New production methods have avoided the need for the usual glued seam around the edges leaving a polished, bright mailer that is guaranteed to catch the eye of the intended recipient. Sizes available: 250x180mm / 320x230mm / 450x320mm in burgundy, silver, gold, red and ice blue

Why not request a free swatch of the colours or a sample to try?

.

TUBES, GLORIOUS TUBES...

New on the Mr Mailroom shelves are these cardboard postal tubes with a SELF-SEALING cap on the end!

Yes, thats right... no more losing the white caps, no mare sellotaping the top to keep it shut AND, according to our IT guy, you can fit a poster of Justin Bieber nicely inside any of these stock sizes. He's a massive fan. Personally I like the lady scratching her bum while playing tennis.

TUBES!
.
.

EMAIL IS FIXED...

Wished they'd mentioned it before I typed that long blog... anyway, back up and running!

.

EMAIL PROBLEMS

.
It is my sad duty to announce that our email server has gone to the big computer room in the sky. It's been an emotional few hours and there have been tears shed but we're carrying on regardless. This does mean that although we are receiving emails and customer enquiries made through the website, we are unable to reply to them. Sorry about that.

Please bear with us as we come to terms with our loss, a shiny new server will be in operation soon. If you're enquiry is urgent please call the sales line on 01702 611264 and leave a message if it's busy. This has obviously increased the work load on the sales crew too. Shame eh? :-)

Anyway, just to summarise, it is an ex-server. It has ceased to exsist...
