At Post & Packing, we provide comprehensive solutions for all your mailing needs.
Stamps are the currency for letters and parcels around the world and how much you pay will decide how quickly your mail is delivered. The weight of your letter or parcel will also have an impact and the table below highlights which category your mail would fall into.
Of course, there’s an opportunity to save money on your letters. For instance, by folding an A5 document in half you’d only pay the price for a smaller letter.
FORMAT | FORMAT | MAX WEIGHT | MAX LENGTH | MAX WIDTH | MAX DEPTH |
Letter | Greetings cards, personal letters, postcards, bills | 100g | 24cm | 16.5cm | 5mm |
Large letter | A4 documents, certificates, magazines, CD or DVD in case, some large greeting cards with badges | 750g | 35.3cm | 25cm | 2.5cm |
Small parcel | Ladies boots, portable speakers, winter puffa coat, desk lamp | 2kg | 45cm | 35cm | 16cm |
Medium parcel | Gifts, shoes, heavy or bulky items | 20kg | 61cm | 46cm | 46cm |
When sending letters or parcels in the UK, you’ll typically use a first or second-class stamp. First-class stamps are more expensive, but will ensure your post is delivered more quickly than second-class.
Another option for sending your letters and parcels is recorded delivery. This is somewhat of a safer option and can even get your mail to the recipient for the next working day. With recorded delivery you can benefit from:
• Proof of delivery by signature
• Option to check parcel’s status online
• Compensation cover up to £50
• Seller protection for online bought goods.
Together with our partners, we deliver exceptional services that empower your success.
