Royal Mail collections now down to 30p

Went to book a parcel with collection, usually 72p, and it was only 30p. With click and drop now 20p or so less than the Post Office prices why would you use them anymore?  Totally reliable and suits my needs for 10 -15 parcels a week.

    On a slightly different note, my business packages are now dearer than ebay packlink prices for RM so if I go the the ‘right’ Post office or Mail centre to drop off post (my local crown office will only take 4 packages of any sort ) I occasionally print out labels and do a bulk COP. This is particularly effective if I need to do a lot of packages the day before I post them as my business parcels must go same day. We are only talking pennies in savings but the ability to print all the labels the day before is very useful when I am very busy.
