When sending seeds, don't forget new post office rules about envelope size - a standard letter must not be bigger than 240x165mm max. max weight 100g. max thickness 5mm - less than 1/4 inch! :cry:

I just received some post with a 1st clas stamp and a big yellow sticker from the post office revenue protection dept.
postage under paid 6p
handling fee £!
Total to pay £1.06!! ouch!

Calm down, folks. Postage is cheaper here than anywhere else I know of. Just because you've been paying peanuts for decades, now you are all complaining...

It only annoys me when you take your stuff to the post office, and they tell you how much to pay - and then you get fined because they made a mistake!
