Re: size of parcels
For UK items we accept parcels up to 3 metres length and girth (measured around its thickest part) combined and 1.5 metres for the greatest dimension.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Re: size of parcels
I've seen (a) a 12 foot long fishing rod and (b) a van bumper that only just fitted diagonally in a Combo with a couple of inches to spare. If a sub-postmaster accepts such an oversize item then Royal Mail has little alternative but to deliver it.
