| Large User | These are assigned to one single address either due to the large volume of mail received at that address, or because a PO Box or Selectapost service has been set up. Large Users receive a minimum of over 1 000 items of mail a day. |
| Small User | These identify a group of delivery points. On average there are 15 delivery points per postcode. However, this can vary between 1 and, in some cases, 100. There will never be more than 100 delivery points on a postcode.            |
