Purchase PowerSM is a service that allows you to pay for your postage in arrears. We’ll send you just one single monthly invoice itemising all your refills, no matter how many times or how much you refill your meter (up to an agreed credit limit). As well as paying for postage in arrears, our Purchase PowerSM payment facility also provides you with a wide range of additional benefits: |
| |  | You can choose to put all your consumable supplies and service charges on your Purchase PowerSM account, consolidating all your multiple bill transactions into one single itemised invoice. You can even include more that one meter on the same account. After each purchase you will receive a VAT invoice for your records, which will then be consolidated onto your monthly invoice. | | |  | You can manage your Purchase PowerSM account online. This online Purchase PowerSM facility will enable you to view your most recent invoices, download them as a pdf or transfer them into a working spreadsheet, to help you effectively manage your budgets. | | |  | You can choose to pay as much or as little off your balance as you wish. If you choose to pay off all your balance every time, the service will only cost you the refilling fee. If you only want to pay off a portion of the balance for all your refills and purchases, you can make a minimum payment within 25 days and defer the remainder (see terms and conditions for details). |
