Default Re: ATTN UK Users: Рreview of RoyalMail real-time shipping rate calculation service

Id second the fact that sending everything based as a packet is the best way forward for now. Anything else is an envelope however the size restrictions are VERY strict.

If you jiffy bag something and it doesnt slide through the envelop gauge without any problems what so ever they charge you more. Its easy for a 125gram package to cost either 1.25 or 2.24 in the bat of an eye lid.

What about supporting royal mail or special delivery?

Also one problem I used to have was that selling items that were worth 100ukp (computer memory) people would choose the cheapest option which only covered insurance up to 30ukp.

Would be nice to say only make the option available for items worth up to X and weight below Y to show those options. Anyone whos ever lost with royal mail on the business end will know exactly what Im getting at.
