The above advice is not top if using the Royal Mail because because it'll count as a "Packet" in either case. It will be cheaper to post in a bag because that will be much lighter.
A jiffy bag (or bubble wrap & brown paper) will be adequate pacakging as long as no one sits or stands on it!, though a box may make your recipient feel better.
Packing with blocks of expanded polystyrene is a third and lightweight option.
I'd put them in a box, but then I'm a postman, and I know how the stuff gets treated when it goes through the system. Also, in a box they'll likely be delivered by van. Any other way, the postie might have to jam them in his bag, increasing the chance of them getting scraped along a wall or other such accidental damage. It all depends how much they're worth I suppose, a box will be heavier and may cost more to post.

It's true, but it may depend upon the courier.
