Weight issue on pre-paid Intl label - will I be surcharged?

Post by simmo11 »

Last night I purchased postage for a large letter to the US using Online Postage (my stamps and CN22s are no good at the minute due to the cyber attack...).

When I weighed the parcel is was 58g, so I selected 60g as the weight bracket and purchased.

I had to print at a friend's house today as my printer is broken, when I have brought the labels home and applied the address and pre-printed CN22 it has tipped it to 62g. On the parcel is says 60g BUT the price I have paid is the same up to 100g (4.20) so I have paid sufficient postage, even if 60g is printed on the label.

Will this cause me issues or should it get through OK?

Cheers as ever.

The weight band is up to 100g so you will be fine
