FirstSort: Next-Day Business Mail Delivery Service

At Whistl, we’ve developed FirstSort, a regional next-day delivery service for businesses sending unsorted mail. We'll collect and sort your machinable letters and prepare them for delivery the next working day. Enjoy the freedom of sending high volumes of time-sensitive letters to addresses across selected areas of the UK at a lower price. FirstSort is ideal for:

  • Private and public sector organisations in the designated regions regularly send most of their mail to a local area.
  • Organisations with time-sensitive letters destined for a specific locality that want to make significant savings in both time and money.
