Help needed from people who post stuff a lot

[AtlasPine]

I’m trying to work out how much it will cost to send a small padded envelope with a little light box in it within uk. Envelope 14cm by 19cm. Weight about 150gms. Will I have to pay the same as any parcel under 1kilo or could it go under the large letter under 750gs. The box is 3cm deep.

Thanks.

You need to try the box with the padded letter to see if it will fit through the large letter slot, but if the box is 3cm deep then I'm going to say it wont. My jewellery boxes are about that, and when I send them it goes small parcel.

Just checked. Large letter is 2.5cm, so yours is too big and will have to give as a small parcel.

Ok thanks. It’s a small digital recorder which needs to go back and forth in the post. I wonder if a cloth bag would offer enough protection - the device itself is much smaller than the box.

If this is is something you really dont want to risk breaking, then I would just pay the extra couple of pounds.

As it’s more than 25mm deep its a small parcel so £3 odd. Slightly cheaper than the post office by 10p if you buy your postage online and print the label yourself.

You can calculate postage on the Royal Mail website. I would look at the options available for sending your parcel with RM, OP, as they do differ in price quite a bit.

If it's not breakable, check it here and print off a label - you use your card to pay, so no queuing.

Thanks all
