Hidden in the weeds of all that lot.
Royal Mail Service code BPL Small parcel rates have gone up around 6.5%
BPL is now no longer cheaper than Online prices.
Last year 2kg Small Parcel was £2.72 BPL and £2.85 Online.
This year 2kg Small Parcel is £2.90 BPL and £2.90 Online.
Graham is correct. I am looking at an 18p increase per small parcel. That’s a huge cost to bear and is not being mentioned in the headline increase.
we recently received a return from” Royal mail”
stating the following address as unknown,
we dont enjoy paying more for stupidity!
