if ur selling them have u calculated a postage amount?

Your only option is 1st class mail
not sure exactly what your weight
but it should be somewhere between
£5.59 to £6.44 on recorded post.

If your doing this for others then send it all
recorded post,so much less hassle if anythings
lost.

Theres just no getting round the
postal charge,but would it be worth
a ring to Royal Mail.Turn on the charm
perhaps they might knock a bit off
because its quite an amount of postage.
always worth a try.Also if you do the
blokes are a softer touch at RM than
the women.

There are other carriers but they get
mixed reviews so it might be too risky.

Also while I think on,you say that all
your parcels weigh the same ?
Why not buy the postal stamps at Costco
10% cheaper than buying at the post office
and no VAT.
they only sell 1st & Second class stamps.
£6.44 = You would have to put 20 1st class stamps
on each parcel + 4p stamp
or if its £5.59 = you have put 17 1st class stamps
plus 15p in stamps.
