    Thank you. I've luckily had a nice response from the buyer who seems very understanding, so fingers crossed it gets there ok. I can't understand how on earth she's managed to print the label wrong either, but it definitely says 0.002kg :o

    It either gets stopped and returned to you before leaving the country
    or its sent without charge if it leaves the country.

    Isn't 3.30 the rate for up to 100g? You may well have paid the correct postage.

    Electronic scales transfer the actual weight to the computer. If your PO has analogue scales the clerk has to type in the weight, but 2g or 92g would have brought up the same price.

    Think it'd have been over 100g for a magazine and packaging. Almost positive it was. They do have electronic scales too but I think they still type the price in at my local post office.
