    Can I ask the cake makers who post out "mini" cakes. Is Royal Mail the cheapest way of sending them.

    Going by the size (7x7x 12 inch high) they come under the medium category for prices which is over £5 and yet I have seen some selling on ebay with p&p of around £2.50.

    Also, about boxes - they seem pretty reasonable until you factor in the delivery costs and then the packing inside, it works out too expensive.

    I have never posted out so any advice would be appreciated!!!

    Try MyHermes they are cheaper than Royal Mail but take a couple of days to get there, Ebay sellers may be swallowing the postal costs by adding it to their products they will not be sending for £2.50 believe me. I have my boxes custom made in white for a more professional look and I use plain white newspaper from my wholesalers as packaging, much cheaper than anything else you can buy. My larger cakes are sent via courier and I charge £8.95 for delivery. Hope that helps :-)

    Thank You! Janey

    I know people are complaining about Royal Mails new parcel prices. The smallest is classed as medium and the bigger one is classed as small. It's crazy!!!!

    Do you use My Hermes for all sizes of cakes or just the big ones?

    I was wondering the best way to send "Minis" as they are small and quite lightweight.

    What's happened to the Nappy Cake thread? Everyone has disappeared!

    Sorry moonpenny not been on here since end of June, I use Myhermes for the smaller mini cakes etc but I use UPS via Interparcel, for my bigger cakes I have always found them reliable and it is next day delivery which is always a bonus for your customer. If you are on Facebook why not come and join our group it is a lot more active than this forum, everyone is friendly with some established nappy cake makers plus newbies who are just starting, we have a wholesaler who regularly posts in the group to keep us up to date with their new products, we share hints, tips and advice as well as having fun with our workshops and challenges, you are more than welcome. :T:j:beer:
