Odd postage price

I received a parcel today - a small one, which I had to sign for. It had the red recorded label on it. It's quite lightweight parcel around 300g
I was quite surprised to see the postage on the printed label was £2.19. A small packet weighing 300g should cost £2.60 without the recorded cost. How can it be so cheap? I'm a bit confused. If it's possible to send cheaper I want to know how to do it myself.

Large letter rather than parcel seems to fit the bill.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

The seller has access to a franking machine. It would cost you £2.50 to send that package yourself.0
