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.

Oh FFS! You've found Usenet. Is it really that fecking difficult to
find the Royal Mail website?

That doesn't necessarily get the best price.

It will for a Royal Mail service, for an individual user with a one-
off requirement. There are discounts for people who use the service a
lot, e.g. those who have their own franmking machine.

I was buying a shooting stick off ebay and was surprised at the
very big variation in the price to send it to Australia from Britain.
When I asked the seller with the cheapest price, it turned out that
he had a way of doing that that was MUCH cheaper than using
the Royal Mail website.

Just hearsay. Provide some evidence.
