is it me or is the cost of posting things becoming stupidly expensive. Cost me £3 to send back a pair of fingerless gloves which the stitching was going apart.

    cost me £5.20 to post a bidon sized package 2nd class this week- it weighed 250 grams !

    wait until they privatise the royal mail- it will be cheaper to deliver the stuff in person then!

    Ribble now charge £20 to deliver an item under 500grams to Portugal :shock:

    UK postal system charged £5 to deliver a small parcel to me, I then paid 1.36 euros to return it, quite a big difference.

    Collect plus is often cheaper and you can pay online then drop things off at all hours at your local convenience shop. Parcels up to 10kg but max. dimensions are quite small.

    Hmmm, maybe Royal Mail's modernisation plans of every man in a van instead of on a bike isn't as cost effective as they thought, hence price hikes............... Who would of guessed that!!

    I use Collect +

    Cheap and easy.

    Royal Mail is like a failing restaurant which keeps increasing prices because it isn't making any money.
