International Postal Charges From France - I Don't Get It

[Mick Holdsworth]

I won a record last week from France. The declared post to UK was 0,87 Euro, and for that I could have bought up to three 45's. For 4-8 records the postal charge would have "SHOT UP" to 1,28 Euro. The world wide postal charges were only about 60% more than this.

I thought it was bound to be an error on the sellers side, but the parcel arrived today and there was the postal sticker, clearly showing 0,87 Euro (about 70p).

Is this some sort of "special rate" , maybe armed forces?

Cheers

Mick

No, France isn't trying to privatise its postal service so postage costs remain cheap.
