Hi Alistair, Where on earth did they get that price? Did you add some extras, such a Recorded or Registered Delivery. We use Royal Mail's SmartStamp software here, and have done for a couple of years. It does the calculations for you. According to this, a 4 Kilo Standard parcel costs £7.70 to anywhere in the U.K. Adding compensation up to £500 only adds £3.50 to that. Even a 4 Kilo FIRST CLASS packet only comes to £14.09.

Hi Gordon, Thanks for the link, yes it was very accessible however a bit time consuming so eventually phoned them which is what I should have done in the first place!Think I'll need to put my name down for Georges Googling classes! Thanks for taking the time to do it anyway! £15 for a 4 kilo package so a bit of thinking to do here!
