Hi guys,  
Just need to confirm something.  Is the cost of posting with Royal Mail affected by size as well as weight of the package?

Cheers,
Chris.

	Yes. They generally sort stuff into categories, with each category having both a size and weight limit.

	You don't have to mail it to me yet Chris, I can wait till closer to Christmas if you like. Or did you want it to be further away from my birthday in Jan?

	Sending parcels seems simpler than letters. Fold the letter until it fits in a smaller envelope! If it can go through their plastic test stand, it fits the requirements (even if it takes a bit of effort). Shop around though - it may be cheaper to use a "proper" courier as opposed to RM. Best regards, Vulcan.
