I haven't used the system in a while but here's an example of how it works.
BPL (this is a code you enter on the system when you're making your order, telling them how many of what you've got, we'll say this is large letter recorded)
You'll then have a load of options saying first class or second class, quantity and weight etc.
it's incredibly easy to use, you just need to know all the codes and then fill everything out and complete the order. print the invoice out and then take it in one of them sacks down the sorting office (or the post office)
whenever you need some more sacks they will deliver them or you can collect them from the sorting office
