UK Postal Rate Changes for Booksellers
On August the 21st 2006 the Royal Mail postal system will change.
Here is a quick and dirty guide for booksellers
There are now 3 catagories
Letter - size related and up to 100g
Large Letter - size related and up to 750g
Packet
For book dealers here is the price list for the packet section
First Class
- 0-100g = £1
- 101-250g = £1.27
- 251-500g = £1.70
- 501-750g = £2.20
- 751-1000g = £2.70
- 1001-1250g = £4.74
- every extra 250g after this + £0.85
Second Class
- 0-100g = £0.84
- 101-250g = £1.09
- 251-500g = £1.39
- 501-750g = £1.77
- 751-1000g = £2.12
Over 1,000g 2nd class unavailable
For papberback book sellers they will have to check out the sizing options as thinner paperback books look like they could go ‘large letter’ depending on packaging of course
So winners and losers for those selling books on ebay, abebooks, Amazon, Alibris and Biblio, but overall better than I expected and far less complicated than it might have been
Hope this is some help
