  • Hi All

    Just been to the P.O and told international large letter class is for letters only, paper etc, You can't send any other items in this class.

    Unlike the UK Large letter which you can send all items eg clothes

    Anyone else been told this?

    Or have I been mis-sold

    Cheers

    Rawy


    People are writing letters 2.5 cm thick?

    Still no large letter on paypal which means faffing about with Royal Mail postage instead.

    And I have my first ever buyer in Greenland this evening!

    I have a feeling they are not going to change it, I might even phone them next time I am at a loose end and ask why.

    It's making my postage a lot slower having to export addresses to RM postage instead.

    In fact today I have a couple of high end items going overseas that need tracking, so will be going to the PO as my mail centre won't take tracked airmail. As I was already planning a PO trip I've labelled my airmail large letters and will be taking them with me rather than adding them to my mail centre drop.

    I'm getting a lot of overseas buyers at the moment, one of the ones today is in the Antibes.

    Antibes is a town in France. Could it be the Antilles? Although this is the West Indies rather than an individual country. I'm intrigued now!

    It might have bene the Antilles- I just printed the label off and took it to the PO- it cost me £12.45 so was worldwide rather than Europe
