Royal Mail Tracked 48 and 24 reduced to match regular offline 1st and 2nd class prices

RM have reduced online prices to match offline, except you get tracking and higher compensation for losses, also free collection now. I tend to send small parcels, the online price was £5.45 now £4.45.
I don't use this as I prefer to take my stamped parcels to a PO but maybe others can use it.

    Promotional pricing available between 04:00 on 17.08.2022 and 23:59 on 31.10.2022 on Tracked 24 & Tracked 48 online postage only (non-account product). Promotion does not apply to Tracked 24 & Tracked 48 account postage.

    For my latest eBay orders I was going to do 1x Tracked,  3x Signed For (based on order value), no reason for me not to do 4x Tracked now as will only cost me 25p more each and comes with better tracking.

    Already going to Library to print one label (QR code printing not available locally for my Tracked size/weight combo) so a few more won't make any difference.

    Royal Mail are also offering free collections at the moment - and there is an option for the postie to bring a free label with them.

    Thank you for this I have had a few higher end items recently and have used RM tracked 48 which has cost me £3.35 for a small parcel which is cheaper than using signed for .
