        With the Royal mails new pricing policy ,you pay the same for a small parcel as a big one up to I assume 999 grams ??? Ask when you post as my po didn`t seem to know .

        So its up to 800 gram ,think it was around 270 ish when I posted ,so no worries it will cost too much,we all know its 2-70 ,Thanks Bilbo

        I've taken a few seeds out and added a few more and I posted the parcel on to Rusty Roots this morning first class, can't wait till spring now to get sowing :dancy:
        I post quite a lot of plants that I sell on ebay Pam, pretty sure the size of the parcel doesn't matter its calculated on weight, I use any size box thats handy, usually wine :heehee:.

          That's right Simbad the new pricing policy is a little ridiculous; something weighing as little as 15g that won't go through a letter box costs the same as anything up to 800g now; that being £2.70...:rolleyespink:

          Sorry for going off topic a little :mute::snork:

          Can't wait for the parcel to get to me now :dancy:

            Hi all,

            I've received the parcel there are some great seeds in there. I have taken a few seeds and added a few. Now on the way to LongK. Cost £2.70 postage.

                Thank you for that very helpful link Kristen. Wow, what a treasure trove in there! This is such a brilliant way of acquiring new seeds. All that and more - just for the cost of P and P!
                Once again, thank you Pam for being at the helm,
                Jenny

                  Here's the Seed Parcel - doesn't look like a lot of packets in the photo, but there are definitely LOADS of packets:

                  Whoever is last in the line will need to dig out all the packets of this and give them to your local school. I think there were 4 or 5 in there when it got to me, folk will no doubt be adding more as it travels!
