Royal Mail
Went to post some stickers this morning, I post my stickers either in envelopes or tubes depending on size, the tubes used to cost £3 to post, to keep prices down i would cover part of the cost of this out of my own pocket/profits, well this morning to post the tube it cost £5.65, just a tad pissed off about that as now i'm going to have to put my own prices up

I use to be able to post 25" tubes for £3 today the same tube cost £5.65, to post for £3 the tube needs to be under 18"ish, wheel cover stickers in general are 22" ish and they are the bulk of what i post by tube and because of that i could keep prices down and like i say add a bit to it myself to cover the post cost and charge the customer less, well now i won't be able to do that

its crazy. I mean seriously, small items like that DONT cost a lot to carry. The weight is minimal, size is no problem I don't understand why they have hiked the prices up so much.
