New Royal Mail postage rates
As many of you are probably aware the way that postage is calculated will be changing on 21st August 2006. At the moment this will only apply to postage within the UK. The price of postage will no longer just be calculated based on the weight of the letter or parcel but will now be based on the weight, dimensions and thickness of the item. This sounds complicated, but is not really.
There will be 3 types of postage item - a letter, a large letter and a packet. A letter has to weigh below 100g be less than 5mm thick and smaller than 240 x 165mm. A large letter needs to weigh below 750g, be less than 25mm thick and measure less than 353 x 250mm. A Parcel is anything either heavier than 750g or larger than the large letter dimensions. Within the letter size there is just one postage price. Within the other sizes there are different postage rates determined by weight. All prices are also split into first class and second class as usual. Most of our items will fit into the category of packet. From looking at the prices it seems that our prices will be changing slightly and mostly increasing by a small amount. However, this will depend on how many items are purchased and their sizes and weights.
If you want more information about the price changes there is lots of information on the Royal Mail website. A good place to start is probably www.royalmail.com/size. We have also written a guide for eBay which includes the new postal prices. Please take a look by clicking here.

I have been interested in this theme for a long time and it was insulting for me that during development of technologies, I still search for the information offline. With the advent of your site I have plunged with all my soul into Internet.
