Postal changes come in today
Posted 21 August 2006 at 10:54AM by David Morgan in Doing business online
From today Royal Mail have changed their charging structure for letters and packets. Postage rates are now based on size as well as weight to reflect the cost of having to manually sort larger items.
For online businesses fulfilling orders by posting products to customers, it's important to look at how these changes affect you and how you can keep costs down.
For example, an A4 letter will now cost 44p to send if you put it in an A4 envelope. If you fold the letter in half and send it in a C5 envelope instead it will cost only 32p.
You can get details of the changes at the Royal Mail website.
