New postal charges.

[Covenant]

Beware! Last week I sent a parcel and the postage cost was £8.50. I posted a similar item today and the cost was £12.96. :(

Yup, there was a price increase today - 2nd April 2013. Not everything has gone up, but the parcels service has changed.

There is a guide here: UK Parcel Service Guide (http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/Royal_Mail_Parcelforce_Worldwide_UK_parcel_service _guide_for_web_customers_RMLT46_English.pdf)

LOL they really dont want any business do they!!!!! Another total waste of space!

You can send 25kg 75x50x30 next day within the UK for £8.99 plus vat with UPS using interparcel! I've been using them for years. Anything from bike engines to CD Players to small items

post office and parcel force are no use at all unless its a letter!!!!!

For those with an iPhone there is a new free (or pay for full version) Royal Mail app for calculating the new postal charges.
