Hi All,
I've just received the MDF postal guides I bought off ebay - well impressed with the quality, price and accuracy.
I bought 2 guides in total to cover all letter sizes and small/medium parcels - it came to £21.49 including 1st class post and they arrived next day.
They have all the prices on too which is a bonus.

It seems the guy has ran out but his ebay ID is: classicsigns

I know you can get the card ones, or even plastic ones free, depending if you are a personal or an account holder but these do the job perfectly for me.

Cheers John

Hi All,
Just received my free cardboard measurer from Royal Mail - it seems they need a new tape measure. :confused:
All 3 sizes are out by around 3 - 5mm on the length.

If you are going to use these cardboard ones please re-check at the post office with the plastic guides as I don't think they'll be out by this much.
I know its only a few mm, but if your package is checked at sorting office, and measures more than the written guide, it will not be posted onwards.
Your customer won't be happy with the extra they have to pay and will have to collect their parcel.

Cheers John
