Payment of postage can be made by cash or EPS. You may also prearrange with Hongkong Post Financial Services Division to pay by cheque or through a Hongkong Post Deposit account.

The use of Private Franking Machine saves the hassle of affixing stamps or queuing at post offices.
To use franked mailing, simply apply for a Franker Licence (which will normally be issued within seven working days) and prepay postage for the machine meter before using it. The meter credit limit is HK$50,000. If a higher limit is required, a separate application should be made to Hongkong Post.
Corporate logo or slogan can be added to the franked impression for business promotion. Franked mailing item will not be datestamped by Hongkong Post.
Frank all items to the full amount, just the same as sending local non-bulk mail. The reasons are:
A credit note will be issued at the time of posting at post offices. This serves to refund the difference between the full rate and the local bulk mail discounted rate, which can be used the next time you reset the machine meter.
In case of digital franking machine, any credit will be refunded by cheque. For enquiries, please call 2921 2222.
Postage for standard bulk mail items can also be prepaid. With effect from 1 November 2013, non-standard bulk mail items must be paid through permit or franking. Prepaid mailing item will be datestamped by Hongkong Post.
