Mailmark™ franking machines pre-dating mail after 5pm

Is Your Mailmark™ franking machines pre-dating mail after 5pm?

A few Mailmark™ customers have commented that when franking their mail after 5pm, the mail items are being pre-dated for the next day.

This is not a fault with the machine but part of a policy by the Royal Mail to ensure that mail franked after the last posting time is correctly dated for the following day when it will enter the RM system.
