For 2 years I operated purely online sales, so we obviously had to post everything, started off just going to the PO, then when it went up in april 2011 we thought bugger it, worth getting a franking machine, then when it (more than) doubled for the rates we were using the most of in april 2012 we almost entirely ditched RM and went courier (collect+ from the corner shop next door or TNT from the door) for everything over 750g.
Now the 750g category has also gone up in price (and the couriers lighter categories have been reduced to open up direct competition) there is only one way to do this....
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ROYAL MAIL. GTFO OUT OF MY LIFE NOW....
*Except when you forget to deliver stuff to me, then claim you don't have it, then return to sender saying you couldn't deliver it to me because I wasn't in... when infact I was... your postie never even entered the building on those days.
I also made the mistake of working for them, 3 months of being pushed around the north east (NEWC) to fill in rounds for people that didn't want to work them with no training, no knowledge and no walkabout/intro that your supposed to have to a new round, and then an epic 6 month employment tribunal about the overtime that you never paid me.
RM should just roll over and die IMO, let some new private company come in and do it properly.

Formatting Help
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
