Hi,

Yes, your talking scales should work, if they speak in grams/kilograms,
which is generally how weights are displayed on the Royal Mail web site.

All the best

so my talking scales would probably work, you can get postage scales but
they're fairly expensive and unaccessible of course as they don't talk

thanks again

My daughter does this all the time. You have to create an account on
the web site and add credit to it. You then weigh the item, and enter
the weight and destination address. It then debits the account and
displays a address label and a bar code. She just prints this off on
an A4 piece of paper and cuts it too size and glues it to whatever
she's sending.


I've never tried this by myself, so I don't know how accessable the
whole process is, but the process does exist.

hi

by stamps i don't mean stamps in the literal sense of the word but
isn'titpossible to go on to the post office's website and purchase
and
then print off postage labels?

assuming i'm right which i think i am, what sort of label printer
does
one have to use for this andhow does one weigh one's item that one
wants
to post?

also, how accessible is it all?
