I will be posting revision guides and need to give a p and p price to the people receiving them.
what would be a typical p and p price for one typically sized A4 revision guide? What if I was sending 2, 3,4 or more? Thanks

I would find out how much it will cost me including my time and charge that.

Royal Mail website will give you specifics based on measurements and weight

Royal Mail might be cheapest if you can get the parcels to be an inch thick or less.

Otherwise look at Evri or Yodel. Also think about where is cheapest/easiest to send off. It's no good looking at Royal Mail if you have to drive to a Post Office, but you can put an Evri parcel in a locker at the end of your street.

I sell on ebay occasionally and use Packlink to compare prices, I don't know if there's a discount for eBay or you can use this to compare prices, but you put in the weight and size of the parcel and it gives you the prices of the various services.

Minimum postage will probably be about £3 for one. Not sure if you can add more for that price.

You need to weigh the books, weight will affect the price as well as size especially with Royal Mail. There's one price for under 1kg, another for under 2kg etc.
