Last lot I posted out cost me £1.50 each recorded delivery.

That didn't include the cost of the mailer.

I'm selling on eBay at the moment andPikeys right, £1.50 is about right for recorded delivery, then add 50p per single thereafter in the UK.

I would insist on at least recorded delivery on items . More expensive ones i would insist on SPECIAL DELIVERY that way it can be insured to its value.

With foreign buyers if the item has any real value INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR is best as you can insured the package to it's value.

Trust me i'm a postman!!

I usually charge the following which includes cost of mailers, stiffners and walking to the Post Office (some people seem to charge for wear and tear on shoes, effects of pollution when walking to the Post Office and/or the cost of tablets to overcome Post-Office-phobia ). Anyway. I aways send UK recorded as a norm (or special if needed)

Overseas, I give the option of recorded post...most don't take it though.

UK 1X 7" Recorded £1.50 each 7" thereafter=25p

EUROPE 1X7" Standard Air £1.50 each 7" thereafter=30p

EUROPE 1X7" Recorded Air £4.50 each 7" thereafter=50p

USA/JAPAN 1X7" Standard Air £2 each 7" thereafter=30p

USA/JAPAN 1X7" Recorded Air £5.50 each 7" thereafter=50p

Just off up the P.O now as it happens...

I charge 1.40 for 1st class, 2.20 for recorded & 5.00 for special delivery. This covers the cost of postage & mailers etc.

(please no comments such as "standard postage should be 1.37 etc )

Recorded insures an item up to 30 quid and I insist on this for Paypal payments cos it proves delivery if this is disputed. It is not unknown for buyers to receive a record and then claim it is lost, Paypal will take the money back from the seller if you have no proof of delivery.

Special delivery insures above 30 up to at least 100 as standard (more if you pay a fee) and the items are tracked by Royal Mail (recorded items are not).

Hope that helps
