Free Royal Mail Cardboard Parcel Measuring Template

Anyone know where you can get a free Royal Mail letter/parcel template. They used to supply cardboard ones free of charge, but doesn't look like they do them any more. Handy for selling on ebay.

  • Like that, but not £8.99 + P&P when Royal Mail were sending them out FOC last year. They must have stopped doing it now :-(

    I normally just print the measurements for each type of parcel/letter from the royal mail website and then just measure and weigh the product at home. I know this may not help if you are sending a lot of things though.
    Maybe ask in your local post office to see if they have one spare that they are not using?

    of all the places in the UK.
    Why would a Post Office not be using theirs?

    I'm confused OP. Are you wanting some free size guides to sell on ebay??? Or do you genuinely want one for free for your own personal use?

    Just to let you know I have been wanting one for my own personal use and they are not supplied for free anymore, so I've been told.

    Just thought - "if you don't ask you don't get".
    Worth a go.

    No, i don't want to sell them, it's for my own personal use.
    I had an email back from Royal Mail "We did publish sizing guides to many of our customers when the changes were made and the distribution went on for months after it went live. However we have since ceased providing these. "
    I have made my own with a bit of cardboard :T
