If you run an actual legit tax paying business, you should really charge more than £6.
Staff cost, rent, business rates, packing, printing, web hosting, PayPal/Card fees, business insurance then postage.
I personally take a hit on all UK Champagne sales I post, and use personal time for London based deliveries. #CSB #pleasebuychampagne

Wouldn't one factor those costs into the base price of the item rather than a surcharge on the postage cost? Also I always assumed that (large) businesses have contracts for postage rather than just dropping stuff off in the Post Office and paying full price like your average shitmuncher.
No criticism of your business model, just curious

But that should all come out of your margin. Postage is postage and packaging and not business costs

Side note, I emailed them to ask whether they could post two wheels' worth of spokes any cheaper (per @user69121 advice in this comment) and I got a fairly brusque response saying that they don't use Royal Mail and that £6 is the cheapest they'll do. For future reference for anyone who wants to try the same thing.
I have to fork out £6 for £12's worth of spokes! Oh well, at least they're cheap
