Apologies if dealt with in an earlier thread - Mods delete if necessary. ATB Rich I'll be posting some 45's in record mailers recorded delivery tomorrow or day after so if no-one else comes up with a definitive answer mate I'll tell you the cost. Cheers Mike
August 21, 200618 yr Posted a single 45 this morning recorded delivery - was 3p cheaper than one I posted last week.
August 21, 200618 yr Posted a single 45 this morning recorded delivery - was 3p cheaper than one I posted last week. I posted a load earlier today and for single 45s or single LPs there is very little difference with the new pricing. I think for 4 or 5 LPs it may even work out cheaper than before. All that panic for nothing then !!! Girf
August 21, 200618 yr Posted one recorded first class today and one special delivery insured for up to a thousand pounds - both in proper record mailers... No real change on previous price 1.35 recorded and fiver special delivery.. someone on ebay wants to charge me three quid for 1st class recorded for a 45 as well!! Mike
August 21, 200618 yr Author Cheers Mike / Girf Personally thought they would have gone up - however we'll probably see the usual postage rip offs continuing! ATB Rich

Mike I was charged £3 last week , I was hacked off about it, but i did know how much it was before I bid on it but i just had to have that record.....you know how it is. Will be interesting to see if this seller puts his prices up even more now. QoFxx
August 21, 200618 yr I asked in the post office the other day and the helpful girl in there weighed one 45 and put it thru that package sizing thing they have. She thinks its going to cost nearer £2.00, at the moment its £1.36......although she was keen to point out she had`nt had her training yet! chris
