Hi all,
* * * * *I have been collecting wedding photos from everyone in our
family I could as part of my family tree research.
At least with weddings a date can be found, unlike "Auntie's" tin of
good old photos with no names or dates on them :-)

I have made some albums up with 5 generations of wedding photos in
them and 72 photos in each album.
They are small and neat looking with general family information about
each family and were possible a later in life photo too, it shows us
aging!

I have four to post to Australia, (from the UK) *I do not have any
special scales but on my kitchen scales the package weighs 2, 1/2
pound or 1.250 KG.

Are there different postal methods *I could ask for?
Is all post Air mail now?

I do not begrudge the postal charge but just wondered if there are
options ?
Mick.IOW.

Printed matter can go by a lower rate , but it goes by slowest non
priority route.

A decent Post Office is always a great help, my local main P.O. is
`king useless, make rules up because not sure of what they are doing.
Local sub P.O. are experts at either cheapest or fastest route
depending on what customer needs and will pay for.
Royal Mails site is good for getting ballpark numbers on cost,

Parcel2go put 1.25kg at just under 30 quid to Australia but 10kg at
just under 60 quid if can get them distributed internally from Aus.

Cheers
Adam
