Makes sending a few bits cheaper than myHermes again. Worth noting anyway, even if it doesn't include tracking. Not sure if it's online only or not either.

I was amused by their "hurry offer ends January 9th".
"Well I've got this 2kg parcel to send but I might hang onto it until February, see if any better deals come along".
Remember folks, a parcel is not just for Christmas..0 -
I took the opportunity to list a few bulkier items on my private account to make use of this offer. 2kg for £2.80 sounds like a bargain to me.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.

Most of my stuff averages to less than 1kg so cheaper with an oba but thanks, good spot. Might come in handy if I have a rash of heavier stuff (unlikely as winding down but you never know

I didn't realise it was just an offer, I thought they were changing their prices for good.
I prefer using the post office as it's more convenient, but when the offer ends it'll be back to My Hermes for my over 2 kg thingsEarly retired - 18th December 2014

The price is a temporary offer but the size limit increase is permanent - from 35x25x16 to 45x35x16cm.Goldiegirl wrote: »I didn't realise it was just an offer, I thought they were changing their prices for good.0 -
Bumping this- but also asking whether I imagined it, or whether there was a small change to some lighter airmail prices as well?
If so does anyone have a link?

I also wanted to point out that this offer is for second class only. First class is still the same price, nearly double second class price at £5.45..0

There is a new leaflet with prices from October 2014

There is a temporary offer for air mail small packets up to 60g - £2.34 Europe, £2.98 zone 1 and £3.14 zone 2. I can't see any other differences.0
