    To save 30p? Blimey.

    When you have 15-20 of these items to post, that 30p makes a lot of difference my friend.

    When i'm selling items that i'm just about making a small profit on,.....that 6 quid means a lot.
    But if £6 is nothing to YOU,....i'll gladly accept a donation. ;)
  • large letter but here you can find all the correct info below from royal mail website

    etter
    Greetings cards, personal letters, postcards and bills are just a few examples of items that are likely to fall into the letter format.
    Length: 240mm max Width: 165mm max
    Thickness: 5mm max
    Weight: 100g max
    Large letter
    A4 documents, CDs and DVDs in their cases, certificates, some large greeting cards with badges and most magazines will fall into the large letter format.
    Length: 353mm max
    Width: 250mm max
    Thickness: 25mm max
    Weight: 750g max
    Useful tip
    You might consider folding your A4 document in half to fit into a C5 envelope. This would bring it down to the letter format, as long as it is still less than 5mm thick

    Packet
    Gifts, clothes, shoes, posters, video tapes, large books and other large items and documents are all examples of items that are likely to fall into the packet format.
    Length: over 353mm OR
    Width: over 250mm OR
    Thickness: over 25mm OR
    Weight: over 750g.
    There is no weight limit for 1st Class items.
    The weight limit for 2nd Class items is 1kg.

    If £6 is a significant part of your profit, may I suggest you are wasting your time? Surely an hours overtime at work would net you more?

    I think if you asked most people on this forum, they would rather save £6, than spend it unnecessarily....hence the site name "moneysaving"expert. ;)
    Sorry to disappoint you, but i'll be sending my items as letters as they fit nice & flat in an envelope,.....so i get to keep my £6! :D

    Fine. But you said £6 means a lot. I don't care what you do, but £6 means sweet miss adams, unless you are making a quid an item.
