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.

It didn't with my example.

No evidence to substantiate your claim.


There are discounts for people who use the service a
lot, e.g. those who have their own franmking machine.

That's another situation where the web site isnt the best way.

Not applicable to the case inder discussion.

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.

Mindlessly silly.

No evidence to substantiate your claim.

Provide some evidence.

You can check it yourself any time you like with ebay.

Why would eBay GAF about it?

No evidence to substantiate your claim.
