The Post Office has announced a Drop & Go summer parcel discount.

The Drop & Go sale offers small businesses and online sellers the opportunity to send Royal Mail Medium Parcels (up to 2kg) for the price of a Royal Mail Small Parcel.

In addition, Post Office is offering its Drop & Go customers 25% off Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm, when sending parcels between 1-2kg. The sale starts 30th June and will last until 27th July. The offer is available to existing Drop & Go customers and new customers who sign up during the offer period.

Customers using Drop & Go simply hand over their mail at a fast-drop counter at their local participating Post Office.

The branch will quickly check a few things before the customer leaves. The branch then processes their mail, taking the payment from the customer’s prepaid Drop & Go card.

The free-to-join Drop & Go service aims to save small businesses, and regular letters and parcels sending customers, valuable time when preparing their items or posting at their local Post Office, enabling them to focus on the more important parts of their business.

Anyone wishing to sign up to Drop & Go should visit their nearest participating branch to sign up for an account.

Here are the amended tariffs for Drop and Go during the promotion:

First Class Medium Parcel 0-1kg was £5.65 now £3.20. Save £2.45
First Class Medium Parcel 1-2kg was £8.90 now £5.45. Save £3.45

Second Class Medium Parcel 0-1kg was £5.20, now £2.80. Save £2.40
Second Class Medium Parcel 1-2kg was £8.00, now £3.80. Save £4.20

First Class Signed For Medium Parcel 0-1kg was £6.75, now £4.30. Save £2.45
First Class Signed For Medium Parcel 1-2kg was £10.00, now £6.55. Save £3.45

Second Class Signed For Medium Parcel 0-1kg was £6.30, now £3.90. Save £2.40
Second Class Signed For Medium Parcel 1-2kg was £9.10, now £4.90. Save £4.20

Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm 1-2kg was £11.00, now £8.25. Save £2.75

Drop and Go is a useful service that’s already proving handy for many online sellers. The problem is that a temporary reduction in postage costs represents a headache for anyone who wants to amend their listings. That all said, we always welcome a discount.

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.
