whats the cheapest way to send parcel of 1.4kg to uk adresss

mr_accountant

[FONT=&quot]As the title suggest what would be the cheapest way to send a small parcel (about 15cm x 15 x 5) to another UK address, the cheapest i have found is RM standard at £4.41.

I ask because i have under quoted for a sale on ebay i put postage at £1.99 thinking it would be max £3 postage 2nd class, but it seems 2nd only goes up to 1kg, oh well we live and learn!

Thanks in advance[/FONT]

https://www.myhermes.co.uk would be £4.18
https://www.collectplus.co.uk would be £3.99
£3.99 on https://www.parcel2go.com

Obviously_the_best

but the moral of the story is, calculate postage costs, don't guess

indeed, my mistake, i normally do check the weight before added the cost but i thought the parcel would be max 1kg, still ill break even and someone is happy when they recieve thier parcel!
