Royal Mail were giving them away free. I got one.

Dont buy one just yet, if you cant find the free one.

They could be channging in October - although its likely existing small parcels will stand - with a new bigger size added.

Cut a hole in a bit of cardboard like I did.

Royal mail will send you one for free. There's a link somewhere on their site.

Royal Mail are no longer doing the free ones.
A lady in my local post Office came in with a bit of corrugated card and a marker pen and asked to draw round their template and they happily let her do that.
They are selling them on Ebay but they can go for £8 -£10.:eek:

I bought one just for letter & large letter sizes on Ebay for about £3 including p&p on a BIN. Worth every penny as post office kept overcharging me for large letters before & pricing as small parcels.

If it's bigger than large letter template, then I know it's going to be small or medium parcel rate depending on weight & depth etc.

Now I'm more on the ball with my template & digital scales I can challenge any post office member who tries to overcharge me.

I have one of the RM free templates exactly like the one someone is flogging on Ebay for £19.99 (:eek:)
To be honest it's quite flimsy, just cut your own out!

It took me all of 2 minutes to draw the gap out on some cardboard and cut it out. I made mine a few mm smaller just so I could be sure it would fit through the gap at the PO.

My point is I'd like to get my hands on one of those sizing templates like they use on the post office counter but I'll be darned if I can find one

Got a free cardboard one via RM a month or so ago (think you have to be logged into the site to fill in the form to request one).
