Q. Can items of mail be sent free of charge to troops serving on Op Telic & Op Herrick?

Outside of these dates, items of mail up to 2kg can be sent at the Royal Mail first class rate. Please refer to the send a letter page for details of postage rates.

The BFPO Parcelforce economy service is not available for these operations

Sorry took a while for me to find it. DP's Mother is based with Telic so I had looked it up before but couldn't find the link. Seems they have took the free post off for now and will be just for Xmas stuff, but there is price guides on there.

thanks guys all help greatly appreciated !!!

I was only charged 65p so im happy with that, to be honest i was a bit more miffed that they had added United kingdom on the bottom of the address when it was actually going outside of the UK. Ive set my selling parameters so i only sell in the UK for less hassle, but if anything happens with this one i dont mind taking the loss!!

Hi, sorry if this has been asked somewhere over the last 48 pages but.....

...does anyone know if my 16/17 year old son can open an account to sell his books? As he doesn't pay tax, and I do, it would appear better he has his own account.

Thanks for any replies.

Jays, as far as I know if you are selling your own books or your son is selling his then there are no tax implications and I think that's what you are saying you want to do? Its only once you start buying in lots to sell that you would be liable. Good luck Teapot

All BFPO's are classed as UK.

Oh.... I want to look at the seller chat boards (partly to see all the slagging of apprentice tycoon), but I can't... I'm being told I have no profile and have to change my account name! what on earth?

Is there some glitch going on that I've missed?

Also if I click on my own ID on an item I'm selling, then on the 'see other items this seller has for sale' link, I'm told I have NO open Marketplace listings... it ain't true!

Any wise techy person know what's going on?
