    Anyone here use business Royal Mail 24/48?

    I did say 500 items. ? I should have said 500 items a day. Currently on maybe 3000 items a year. Looking to expand. My conundrum is that using a personal account gives me the same price as a business one. ?‍♂️ Using personal account I can have pay as you go. Having a business account means they...

    Anyone here use business Royal Mail 24/48?

    I can't get a straight answer from Royal Mail. I was hoping I could get an answer to how their business 24/48 tarrif works. As I understand it, you pay average weight - not per item. If I sent 100 items weighing on average 600g and being small parcel, what is the likely cost I'd get? If I...

    Best ways to use Yodel dropoff

    @lesliedocherty I hear what you say. Royal Mail are screwing me soo much. 'Apparently' I have items that are incorrectly labelled - they charge £10 for EACH correction. I don't know whether to explode or just cry - I don't know how much they have taken. When I speak to customer service - no one...

    Best ways to use Yodel dropoff

    I want to stop using Royal Mail as much as I can. For a 1KG small parcel I can book through parcel2go for: - £2.58 Yodel - £2.64 for Hermes Both are fro drop off. I would prefer Yodel just from experience. PROBLEM: where to drop off? The only options near me are unprofessional newsagents...

    What's wrong with CBD businesses?

    @Dinky I don't think CBD products fall into the same bracket. CBD gives no highs. I would never condone selling something like an ecigarrete to kids. I would never consider selling CBD if it was illegal in anyway. One thing... I asked a friend. He said: you've missed the boat! The CBD...

    Royal Mail's mad postal system - what happens if you send a bag of sand?

    I honestly can't believe I'm reading some of these replies? This world we live in doesn't have to be dog eat dog. This is what you guys are saying. Royal mail must make a profit. Is anyone saying they shouldn't? All I want is a fair and logical system. Making profit by creating a crazy...

    Royal Mail's mad postal system - what happens if you send a bag of sand?

    @Solve My Problem You hit the nail on the head - JUST base on weight and ONLY weight. @Trevor Andrews I didn't know the Spanish were half as mad as our system? One big problem: those posting from outside into UK don't have the same 'sizing' - I think I'm right in saying. They can post direct...

    Anyone here have a Royal Mail Business account?

    @hikiwari Apologies for my comments. It was keyboard warrior syndrome (saying things without thought) and typing really fast. I really appreciate you taking time to reply to my messages. @DefinitelyMaybeUK I checked online. The code for parcels is BPL1 and BPL2 (1st and 2nd class). Sizes of...

    Anyone here have a Royal Mail Business account?

    @hikiwari Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I personally felt that it deserved it's own discussion and was a different topic to the one which I started this thread. My first post was about charges (where personal online customers got a MUCH better deal than business customers) and not about the...

    Royal Mail's mad postal system - what happens if you send a bag of sand?

    Letter. Large Letter. Small Packet. Large Packet. = grubby greedy Royal Mail filling their pockets with profit. I know it's been around for many years now and we have accepted this mad system. It's a flawed system. It's a dumb system. Imagine an envelope with a bag of sand. Lie it down and...

    Anyone here have a Royal Mail Business account?

    And here I was thinking I was being solely victimised by Royal Mail. Seems I am not the only one. ? @littlebonzo Tell me more about the Basic Barcodes. Not aware of that. @hikiwari I have a an OBA, Online Business Account. The service is called PPI I think? I might be getting my terminology...

    Anyone here have a Royal Mail Business account?

    I'm fuming. I've had a business account at Royal mail for 15 years. I spend a lot of money per year with royal mail. My business is not a giant retailer or anything, just a small ecommerce business. I found out that paying for postage for parcels is much much much cheaper on a personal...

    What's wrong with CBD businesses?

    @fisicx thanks for the reply. I just wanted to check it wasn't illegal in anyway before I considered entering into business. I checked amazon: there are maybe 100's of sellers selling cbd oil and gummies.

    What's wrong with CBD businesses?

    I had a meeting with someone running many CBD shops. His business seems to be exciting and has tons of potential. He's got 11 shops he runs around the UK. PROBLEM: he always has money withheld or frozen by banks. He has problems with card processing - when he is allowed an account they charge...
