U-turn on recent stupid price hikes apparently
As of quite soon* medium parcels will be re-priced the same as small parcels
good
* = end of this year ish.
Yeah and that will carry on when privatised...
Would this be related to the imminent privatisation I wonder?
...when the Post Office will have to provide an equivalent service, pay their staff [b]and[/b] service the needs of their shareholders?
...which will undoubtedly mean that the service will improve, the staff will be better paid, and the shareholders will be adequately recompensed...

It's not a u-turn as such, more a tweaking of the small parcel exception rule.
The proposed change would mean the existing small parcel exception rule of the cube [160x160x160mm], would be replaced with a larger, shoebox size, rule. Where the maximum can be 350x250x160mm]
Consultation is ongoing since September, with changes to be made towards the end of October if successful.
I think the general aim is to move most medium parcels into a small parcel classification. I personally think they took an unexpected hiding from the likes of Collect+, Myhermes etc, so are bringing back a comparable priced offering. I could be completely wrong. though.
Medium parceling was a rip off.Mind it never made much differance after a few weeks people just pay it.
Parcel force is expensive.Royal Mail standard parcel service was great but they dumped that.
Anyway we had are ballot papers today 😀
