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

tubes of upto 45cm length/8cm diam lare small parcels
then tubes up to 90cm length/7cm width are medium parcels (Length plus (2 x Diameter): 1040mm max)

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!

any way you view it a bloody golf brolly is still unacceptable to royal mail

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 ?

Parcelbroker would have done that for £17.38 (inc VAT) using UPS

Just had to check they don't class IV2 postcode as Highlands and Islands as everyone else seemed to.. and they don't.. an even cheaper find cheers..

Has anyone had any dealings with UPS ?? because I haven't ever used them lol
