This time next month it's all changing for the 
worse at Royal Mail.  It's all going off size of 
item, rather than just the weight.

For instance, the 22g packets we used to send out 
from ebay sales (ornaments, sorry not computer 
related at all) used to fit very comfortably 
inside the 60g for a first class stamp, so cost 
us 30p to post.  The pricing from 21st 
August?  It's a "packet" so will cost £1 to 
post.  Gonna have to have a major re-think if or when we start that up
 again...

Anyway, foe the new pricing, an excel spreadsheet 
pricing calculator is apparently available here:

600502

The current "calculator" if you can call it that is here:
