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.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 17:33:34

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

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 17:32:35

Sago.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 17:31:40

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

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 17:11:11

Aarghhh. Helpful.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 17:10:47

Still resting.
Thanks Bluebelle.
smile
Very joyful.

BlueBelle Fri 15-Jul-22 17:07:28

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 ?

StarDreamer Fri 15-Jul-22 16:58:38

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.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 16:42:22

Gotta rest a bit again...

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 16:41:02

Quick! Quick! While I,remember.

45 × 30 cm.

StarDreamer Fri 15-Jul-22 16:36:35

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.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 16:30:48

I knew you were going to say that! smile

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

BlueBelle Fri 15-Jul-22 16:28:38

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

StarDreamer Fri 15-Jul-22 16:00:43

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.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 15:58:33

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

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 15:44:06

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

StarDreamer Fri 15-Jul-22 15:38:46

Have you got a ruler or a tape measure?

StarDreamer Fri 15-Jul-22 15:37:25

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.

MissAdventure Fri 15-Jul-22 15:35:56

About a medium parcel, I would say.
