Just wanted to correct myself on the point below...
You do not need a cube to fall within the small parcel rate so long as your parcel is less than 16cm in ALL dimensions.
So a parcel:
15cm x 10cm x 15cm would still be a small parcel (assuming it's less than 2kg obviously!)
..while another parcel:
15.9cm x 15.9cm x 16.1cm would fall into a medium parcel band.
Remember these dimensions are external, not internal too...
Going back to non-contract packet/parcel changes...
There was one ray of slight sunshine in the dimensional restrictions for small parcels... If you have a cube package of dimensions 16cm x 16cm x 16cm or smaller you still qualify for small packet rate. You can bet Post Offices will not be clear on this so be prepared with references if this is going to affect you.
