    No laughing but my scales have broken! Does anyone know how much a standard dvd in a padded envelope weighs? Want to do my postage online and print off - save 45mins in the post office tomorrow!

    I've made my first sale on Amazon today! I'll get £3.55 from Amazon, and out of that will be postage (should be less than a pound) so will add profit tomorrow once posted.
    Debt Jan 2008: £45,566. *** June 2013: DEBT FREE! ***
    Paid back just under £50,000 due to some interest added.

    Dealt with my debt through a Step Change

    Argh - just found it on R Mail and it said 190g for a dvd in a bubble envelope?
    Am guessing I can get away with it being large letter or packet? (Ok havent used it this way before!)

    They are right rip off merchants - I've been waiting for some refunds for our work postage costs for ages and ages!
