    Thanks for all your replys, have looked around and am now going with Hermes, who collect from you and are pretty cheap and you can link it to your ebay account and pay them with paypal

    I posted a small skylanders figure put it in a very small shoe box, as I didn't want it crushed by Royal Mail parcel was really light it cost over £5.00, apparently they have a size guide now, and it was just a little to big.

    Price in proportion has been in place for over 6 years now
    this is just the latest change to this encompassing packets

    Think about it. is weight the only factor in the costs of mail delivery?

    Order the template form to decide which postal service will be best for you. Saves shocks at the post office

    I sold a few things on ebay last month and used myhermes, was very impressed - nothing cost more than £5 to post, and that's with a signature and it was so much better than standing in the post office queue. In fact I'd probably still use them if Royal Mail dropped prices back down because it's so much easier.
