Once you start putting packing around small items, to safeguard against Royal Mail damaging them, then they're pushed up into the medium category, costing twice as much. I could actually send out a medium packet 10 times the volume of my usual packets for the same price. That's ridiculous. If volume is the criteria, then the limits should be based on volume measure, and not linear. Is Royal Mail taking this increase as an opportunity to extract as much money as possible from customers, to make the business look more attractive to potential buyers?Mikenoreply@blogger.com
