How Much?

Post by smok3y666 »

Just posted a small, 190g packet. £6.95. Jesus Christ :shock:

I'm sure it used to be a lot cheaper a few months back?

It was cheaper 4 weeks ago, by at least half.

No it isn't a charity, but it also isn't clever to price customers out of using your service, and into a competitors instead. :arrrghhh

So it's a good idea to reduce mail volumes when privatisation is looming and they will be looking for excuses to cut jobs?
Do you think before writing?

they will cut jobs if they want to gremlin. do you think ?
Yes they will. Don't think it can be stopped. But, the point is, if we have 30 % less mail in a year than we do now, they'll be able to cut more, and have the 'evidence' to support their claims.

Without looking at the price tables, I would suggest that a 190g packet for £6.95 is the Special Delivery price. 1st class would be £1.20 / £3.00 / £5.60 depending on the size, add £1.10 for Signed for. Or it's going abroad.
