right royal rip off!!!!!

[tricky m]

If you didn't know royal mail has changed the way it charges for parcels. I't doesn't just go on weight alone now. But on parcel size aswell. I have just posted out a few items so will give examples.

Nxe marker case weighing 0.6kgs first class recorded cost £4.10 because it fit through the small package slot.

Jt lense weighing 0.19kgs first class. Not recorded cost £5.65. Because it was classed as medium package due to not fitting through slot. Where as before lense would have only been about £2.50.

Just letting people know so they don't get caught out. Selling little items which are over 7cm in width.

So I can't sell my c***. Bugger.

Another money-making scheme hits the rocks of disappointment.

To send a letter normal sized letter recorded ( So requires a Signature on delivery ) £1.70

And they lost the 1st one i sent via recorded aswell

This is why I have started to send parcels using Parcel2go. Royal Mail is extortionate!! Only time I use Royal Mail is if I have to post a letter which I hardly do.

Cheaper for almost everything, usually closer than a post office. Everything has a tracking number. Add signature required for £1.

Cost me just under £10.00 to send a pair of Eclipse distortion pants by 1st class standard parcels..

Sent a DM9 in its case with a spare barrel via RM SD next day, fully insured - cost £11. Not bad.

cost me £2.50 to post TWO pods in a carrier bag yesterday, and to be honest i think my farts weigh more.

Yep, the revised pricing is good if you're sending small, heavy items - it works out cheaper than before, but you're stuffed if you're selling bulky, light items.
