Wow, I'd like to see a picture of you taking a 16m cube to the Post Office and getting that sent as a small parcel

The tube is indeed 45cm max length

well, down today with my packets and poly mug mailers....

no bubble wrap just poly mailers and brown tape - little lady got her cardboard box out........will it fit...tense moment as we shared a glace between us ( picture tumble weed in a western waiting for gunslingers to draw ) cue the good, bad ,ugly music.....

out comes the box, pops it in, nearly lost it.....are they sure thats the proper size ? i could have wrapped it twice in bubble wrap and still fit in the test box
from £2.20 - £2.60...still better than £5+

40p rise ...but i added that to mugs 2 wk ago so....wonder how many will be re-listing at the last moment.

Mine were repriced last week, made no difference to sales, should have done it months ago!

Give APC overnight a call and see what they will charge for your brollys hun..

I sent two parcels.. one a box of 36 mugs and the other a 49cmx49cmx49cm box of teddies.. up to Scotland overnight.. and they charged me £18.81 when everyone else wanted over £50

Worth giving them a call ?
