A practical session on sending a parcel by Royal Mail Parcel Collect

I hope all this isn’t a convoluted drug smuggling operation!
I can see the newspaper headline!
“How many Grams net”

It is not.

At 1100 grammes it is above 1 kilogramme, so if the height in no more than 16 centimetres it could be a small parcel that is just on the limit of size

Small parcel

Maximum weight: 2kg

Maximum size: 45 x 35 x 16cm

But if it is more than 16 centimetres high, or it might be just over the 45 by 35 and you don't want to risk it, then it will be a

Medium parcel

Maximum weight: 2kg

Maximum size: 61 x 46 x 46cm

unless it is a bigger parcel size wise.

I would go for the medium parcel myself, but it is you who is paying so it is your choice.

And I can’t read your link Stardreamer as it says
It has Mooooved ( annoyingly)

The Gransnet one?

I just tried it three times and it worked here.

I did a refresh too in case it was cached.

I can fold the package in half, if necessary.
Just not yet.
No energy left.

Sago.

1100g.
Does that seem about right?
Then 45cm x 30cm.

It will be, when it's done, I'm sure.

… and joyful too, I think

Aarghhh. Helpful.

Still resting.
Thanks Bluebelle.

Very joyful.

Ohhh thanks you must admit it was a bit strange !!
I send a lot of small parcels 2 nd class RM and you can go up to one kilo and big nearly the size of an orange crate for £3.35
If that’s any help if not forget I spoke ?

Fine.

Take your time, when you are ready, the height of the parcel (just to check it is no more than what is allowed) and the total weight of the "stuff" and the packaging together please.

Gotta rest a bit again...

Quick! Quick! While I,remember.

45 × 30 cm.

Hi Bluebelle

This is a spin-off thread from another thread.

MissAdventure has kindly offered to send some "stuff" to another Gransnetter, but would have difficulty getting to the Post Office.

So she could use Parcel Collect.

So I am trying to help MissAdventure work through the Parcel Collect system.

A separate thread so as not to derail the original thread.

You can read of what happened on this linked page.

I knew you were going to say that!

The conversation started on the heatwave thread, so to avoid filling it up with all this, a new thread was started about it.

I don’t get this stardreamer starts a thread but refers to MissA before MissA has even made a post on said thread???
Is she clairvoyant

That's fine. Have a rest.

I can look at other things and check back every few minutes. I am in no hurry, I've had lunch and dinner is hours yet.

Sorry, hang on.
I've got to rest now for a bit.
I've got the stuff in a bag thingy.

Yep I have.
Bear with me, I have school stuff going on, too.

Have you got a ruler or a tape measure?

If you can say how big the stuff and get the weighing scales out then I can work out from here which tyoe of item and which price band as it may well be easier on my computer with its larger screen.

About a medium parcel, I would say.
