Post office etiquette

[dancingonthedaisydrops]

So lighthearted one but genuinely not sure what to do...

I've had a huge declutter and sold around 30 things on eBay & want to post them today (work/children mean I can't go any other week days). What is the etiquette about posting so many items? AIBU to do it in one go? I feel like the whole town would hate me...Queue again every x number of items to avoid holding up the queue? Leave half in my car so I can exit half way through and re queue? My husband says to just send all 30 but I've previously sent 6 at Christmas and felt people were tutting and rolling their eyes so this is a whole other level!

Am I the only person who has postage anxiety? If I did it online I'd be thinking I'd either underpaid or put it in as the wrong type of letter. I'll happily wait a few minutes to have an expert do it for me.

In that case, they should employ more staff to actually serve the customers

True. But it's a franchise and essentially is mostly a small local business getting commission on your transaction. They have to accept prepaid labels but Royal Mail doesn't pay the Post Office and consequently the franchisee anywhere like the commission they get for actually selling the postage in store.

Most small businesses are barely making enough to keep their heads above water and staff the Post Office counter position according to public demand/what they can afford.

Tbh i’d just go and post them all in one go. I’ve gone and had to que up like everyone else and I’m paying to send my parcels so the people behind me can wait.
