Royal Mail Size Guide

Wkdwill

Hi

Does anyone know where I can get a royal mail size guide from, preferably free, maybe a downloadble one to print off, as my PO are buggas for charging you for Packet when it could easily fit Large Letter, its pure luck of who I get at the counter, the owner is the one who is always overcharging and unfortunately she is the one who mostly serves me.

Thanks

How will a size guide stop the post office overcharging you?
Don't the post office use a size guide?

This might help you out.

or or you could buy one on ebay ;o)

Because then I can print my own postage at home through paypal properly rather than just guessing.

And sometimes they dont try and put it through the size guide properly if you know what I mean, I went in with 2 identical items, identical weight and packaging but on seperate days, the first item was charged at Packet rate, the second at Large Letter rate, this was with 2 different cashiers.

I ordered one direct from Royal Mail. There was an offer quite recently, but think it has now expired...

You can buy the perspex version, that the post offices have, here for £4.99:

Might be worth seeing if you can contact RM via their website and ask if you can order one?

You can get a paper one (which you could stick to some card and cut out) free from the Post Office.

I keep meaning to track a plastic one down myself.

HAS ANYONE NOTICED IF THERE HAS BEEN A PRICE INCREASE ON ROYAL MAIL, AIRMAIL POST 2 THE USA?

I HAVE SENT A FEW SHOES THERE RECENTLY (EBAY) AND THE PRICES WERE STEEP, 1 PAIR COST £13.00+ I HAVE SENT PARCELS TO AMERICA B4 AND IT REALLY SEEMS TO HAVE GONE UP IN PRICE RECENTLY....:mad:

NEW STAFF @ MY POST OFFICE AS WELL, ARE THEY TAKING LIBERTIES??? THEY ARE SENDING THEM AS SMALL PACKETS VIA STANDARD AIRMAIL.
CHEERS FOR LOOKING!!!

YES, I THINK THAT ROYAL MAIL DID INCREASE PRICES LAST MONTH, NOT SURE IF THAT INCLUDES AIRMAIL THOUGH.
AND IF THEY ARE SHOES I THINK THEY WOULD BE SMALL PACKETS, IF NOT BIGGER.

AND WHY ARE WE TYPING IN CAPITALS?
