You can send a tube up to 90cm long - (yours is 59cm) and length plus twice diameter less then 104cm - (yours is 70cm) so i think you are OK as a small packet.
This is what the Royal Mail site says
"Rolled and cylinder shaped parcels
For rolled and cylinder shaped items, the length of the item plus twice the diameter must not exceed 104cm, with the greatest dimension being no more than 90cm. Rolled and cylinder shaped parcels that measure up to 45cm in length and 8cm in diameter and do not exceed 2kg can be sent as small parcels."
This is a little confusing as, to me, this seems to say the parcel cannot be more than 45cm in length,0 -

I do not read that as 45cm is max length.
If you are worried over pack it into a rectangular box as you are also below the size limits for that shape as well. 60cm is max size there with total l b h under 90cm.0 -

Hello, I have a musical instrument to the value of £2,000 I need to send via courier. Parcel Force want £95 for this level of cover!
I'm sure there must be cheaper elsewhere but I have drawn a blank so far. Any help gratefully appreciated.0 -

I have been suing Yodel Direct recently to send my Ebay items. And I must say they haven't let me down yet! Also I have a 10% discount code that has been working every time for me.

Hi - I have a 2k+ package of curtains (Ebay) that I want to send by courier. Can anyone confirm that the prices on MyHermes are the same throughout the UK mainland? I have tried 3 different postcodes that I know, from one end of the country to the other, and the price is always the same.
How do other ebay sellers know what courier cost to put on the listing if they do not know where the parcel will go?
Many thanks.0
