My Hermes might be the answer here. Although it isn't the speediest, the company is now the cheapest for shipping small parcels thanks to Royal Mails ill informed changes.

If it's sent in a standard size mailer I guess around £4.50 to £6.00 recorded depending on 1st or 2nd class. I suppose he can charge extra for packaging but don't see how £9 is justified.Originally Posted by Rare Bird

If you can piggy back onto a company account - the franking price is much lessThe Post Office have recently split packets into different sizes. The result is the safe vinyl packaging that Diverse and some others use (that protect from corner bumps) are about a cm too wide and are charged as a medium packet rather than small packet.
There is now Vat on stamps, so another 20%, brought about by TNT complaining I was told

Looks like my local Postmistress doesn't understand the new sizes. I was overcharged. Max for small parcel is 45x35x8 cm. She thinks it's 35X35. Will be having a word when I go there tomorrow.No record mailer should be charged more than small parcel rate.
