    Wow, they're really wanting people to use Tracked services over Signed For and even Standard (Tracked being just 5p above standard postage for small parcels and 10p for medium parcels)!

    The price difference between online and over the counter/stamps price is remaining high for parcels.

    2KG small price online tracked 24 £4.65  tracked 48 £3.55
    over the counter  £5.40/£4.25

    medium parcel 2kg is even worse:

    online £6.25 £5.35
    OTC  £7.80 £6.90

    Thank goodness- the  majority of my business stock is now LL so it keeps it at a fairly reasonable price. I almost wish though that I could use simple delivery for some of the last remaining parcel size items on my business account as it's cheaper and also I don't have to worry about losses or late items.
