A TOTAL RIP OFF - USE COURIERS!
Posted a very small (3 or 4 inches square) very lightweight (a couple of ounces) 'parcel' to the USA, contents of nominal value, but because it doesn't fit through their ridiculous 'slot' they charged me £24! Guys, you cannot charge by the shape of a parcel - it has to go by weight - that's how air freight goes! And it's the same with domestic mail - your item may only weigh a very few grams, but because it's more than 2.5cm wide when it's in a box, it goes for the same rate as a big heavy item - the people who worked this out must be one fry short of a happy meal! People are sending me things from eBay taken out of boxes and flattened down, and by flattening the shape of exactly the same item they are saving many £'s of postage - it's a ludicrous farce! I will never use the P.O. again - I will use couriers - and if I'm buying an item I will ask the seller if they're going to use the P.O. and decline the sale if they are. It's my mission in life to see the P.O. go bankrupt - they are utterly incapable of running a postal service in many other ways too, but that's enough for this review!
