I am no expert on the subject, however I priced this company up and was impressed. https://www.fastwaycouriers.co.uk You have to buy a 'book' of stamps, they have 3 kinds, local postcode £2.95 national £4.95 and another I can't remember think it was for places like Jersey at something like £7.95. All 3 cover up to 25kg.

The £7.95 rate is for most of the UK.

The cheaper rates are not really national, they only apply in the limited areas where they have franchises operating. Very cheap where they do have franchises though...;)
