Hello,
Does anyone know of a relatively economic (i.e. cheap) way to send small-ish parcels in the UK? I'm trying to offload a lot of my "stuff" to better homes through EBay.
I posted two books recently, weight about 1.2kg each. The charge was 5 quid !!! That's outrageous in my opinion. No second-class option.
Now I'm in principle against fragmentation of postal services among different suppliers because I think it must disadvantage remote / rural communities (cf. bus services, public telephones etc), however, the "Royal" Mail (give me "Post Office" anyday) aren't endearing me with their prices - even though we have a silhouette of our glorious and majestic monarch (gawd bless 'er) on the stamps.

P.S. Anyone near N12 want to buy a new, unused sexy PC case (no power supply) I bought at Maplins for £29? Anyoffers. Buyer collects.
