    Firstly are you happy not to have any protection against loss in the post? If so then either paypal or Royal mail will do, paypal is good in that it is fairly easy to use and balance comes from your paypal account, however you can't use 2nd class.

    Just remember you not only give up your protection if you need to claim for loss you also have no proof of posting to defend a fraudulent use of card claim.

    It's a lot easier with self-adhesive document wallets (off t'Bay of course), then take stuff and printed CoPs to PO. My Mail Centre doesn't to anything other stamp the CoPs and hand them back :)
