Warning post a letter less than 5mm thick with a normal stamp then the recipient may

so to cut a long story short you are annoyed that you had to shell out the extra between a price of a normal stamp 50p/60p to a large letter stamp 69p/90p so 30p max and your writing essays

calm down dear

So many items that are less than 5mm width will for various reasons fail this (information seemingly internally in-house only disclosed) test and the item will not be delivered incurring a penalty payment.

Can you provide any examples of items that are within the size guidelines but won't pass the test?

The only thing I can think of is something lighter than air - an air tight envelope full of helium maybe?

They changed the rules between the old & new parts of this thread anyway.

You can now push the item all the way through. If it goes through the slot, it meets the width requirement.

For slightly squishy items, the difference between the old and new rules could well be 3-4mm (thinking about Large Letter, here).

To cut a longer story shorter, you really should read the dates on posts before you reply.
