SIZE MATTERS TO ROYAL MAIL AS NEW PRICING SYSTEM LAUNCHED


Posting a letter in this country has now become a military operation after Royal Mail’s introduction of the new weight and sizing price guidelines. Size it seems means everything under the new system, especially if it means Royal Mail can make a bit more money. Maybe it’s just me being cynical but a lot of items of post seem to be costing a lot more money on this new system, despite Royal Mail’s assurance that 80% of items would be the same price as before. I read the new pricing guide over and over but still couldn’t make any sense of it. I’m sure it’s not just me. I think there must be a lot more confused people out there. Why does everything in life have to be so difficult? Hopefully Royal Mail will see the error of its ways and revert back to the old system sooner rather than later. It was so much easier in the days when you could just stick a stamp on a letter and drop it into the postbox without having to think about it!
