* NON UK POST HAS GOT MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE! The New 2012 prices are quite a large increase with on average 20% extra from before. But look at other Countries postage prices, Royal Mail is just doing what it needs to be competitive & survive on the large amount of small items it delivers & there being less each year. With these increases, they are making those who sell cheaper items barely pay if you must pay £2 extra on non UK sales, so less mail for them, works both ways. Parcel Couriers offer very low rates but only for bigger items, a 3kg parcel is the least economical weight to send! Royal Mail have added Zone 1+2 to Worldwide affecting Australia, New Zealand & Singapore, but we'll just charge 1 flat "World" rate to simplify things as 8-12p difference on 1-3 record orders. But sadly the discount you could get on Small Packets has now gone, one flat fee making a basic 120g item £1.61 now a huge 81% increase to £2.93 plus Int Signed For which is obligatory for all Paypal sales rising to £5.15. |
