Royal Mail Pirce Increase

Totally agree.

Actually I think the German postal service seem quite good as its the only international service apart from the US where I've had an item returned as undeliverable despite all parcels having a return address.

Was amazed that they sent it back.

Thanks. Will take a look and investigate whether its worthwhile for us to do.

Hi Rainshoe,

5000 items per annum for packet post and more £15,000 postage charges or you have to pay for the collection service (£750 If I remember correctly?).

Not sure where you got the 250 items per posting from, I can't find that?

By the way, who was it that left Smartstamp since the screw up, which is still a little of a mish mash, and went to a franking machine.

How do you find it? Is it cost effective or not?

Is maybe franking the way to go now...

Does it mean if I go the franking route the idiot in our local PO will stop insisting on weighing all my parcels and checking the labels. No other PO in the area does that, they just shove Smartstamp in the bag. Hence 5 minutes or less in any other PO and 1/2 hour in our own local one while the idiot faffs about.

Picked up New Royal Mail from 30th April 2012 price guide last night from local post office - had just arrived - so this weekend will be spent on adding new postal prices to our websites.
