no problem there sold and i charged the seller what i thought was a reasonable £5 p&p ,the trouble started when i got to the post office counter and found they have upped there prices through the roof ,the parcel which weighed under 1kg would have cost just under £10 to post and there is no longer a cheaper alternative i.e parcel post or 2nd class etc .this applies right across the board apparently on anything larger than letter size .i
its cheaper to post something to elsewhere in the world than to your next town .
my solution was to sign up to collect plus couriers and then drop the same parcel into my local paper shop (next door to the p.o) and it gets picked up from there total cost with a tracking number and insured £3.99 .
so be aware if you sell anything or post anything .
