Action Now is TNT Post's new digital mechanism that offers quick and straightforward payments or donations. Consumers can engage with a brand by simply “Scanning, Viewing and Paying” from a QR code or short URL which can be placed on any piece of marketing material. Action Now enables retailers to engage with consumers through a new digital mechanism which encourages a direct response from consumers whilst they remain ‘on the go’.

A year ago today, 18th April 2012, we made UK history. For the first time in 377 years London had another delivery force on the streets delivering mail. This time last year 350 TNT Posties took to the streets bringing postal variety and an efficient, quality mail delivery service. Since the beginning of the End-to-end trial we have delivered 16 million letters. We now have 6 delivery units and over 600 Posties. This month we delivered our first 600,000 mail items in one week and we looking forward to reaching the 1 million items delivered a week shortly.
