Does anyone have this info to hand please? I meant to find out today but forgot.

After having several items 'get lost in the post' before I only want to send recorded from now on.

I have the packaging, so if I charged £2.00 postage would that cover recorded delivery?

You can send 2 games packed side by side as a large letter for the same price, if that helps.
