Thats about 100.00 per week not 400.00 but I will investigate it again....

Also, no need for a return to sender address label either, as your id number on the label solves that one too.
If you spend £400 a week at the post office, a franking machine would be well worth thinking about, and if you are near a trading estate, there will almost definitely be a Franking box to put them in, so no queuing at the post office!

question re postage wieghts/cost.
1x 10oz mug printed is 292g = £2.70 first class - £2.20 second class - thats good but -
what about the wieght of the polystyrene mug mailer box ? it says on coralgraphs web site it wieghs 500g (0.5kg) . thats impossible.....
so one of his box mailers wieghs more than a mug ?...not a chance ....
so that would mean my postage would have to be about £4+ to send lol...
the mailers must wiegh less than a printed mouse mat surley ?
or even the wieght of a printed fabric coaster !
or
does that incl all HIS packaging for HIM to send out 1 box mailer ?
even then, it still shouldnt come to 500g !!!

For some reason I cant see solid block of polystrene weighingthat much, wonders if he weighed one with a full mug in it . I have just weighed a mug more than 2/4 full of coffee and that only goes 532g. Most puzzling...
