| | Hello there! When setting up shipping, does the weight margin apply to just the
weight of the items or to the item weight plus the base weight? So, if the base
weight is 1oz and the items purchased totals 5oz, would a 10% weight margin apply
to 5oz or 6oz?

IMHO it's a margin to the items weight only.
The base weight you *know* it, so you provide your exact number (with or without
a margin or an average).

| Hi
The replacement service for 'signed for' is called 'tracked 24 or
48' with our without signature which is insured up to £150 and costs from
£3.95 for 48 without signature.

started using Evri. Since RM have gone into private ownership, prices have shot
up & the service down hill. One way to kill a business.

Just a quick heads up for those sellers who may not have noticed (LIKE ME until
today !!) that since the beginning of April, Royal Mail have reduced the compensation
on 'signed for' postage DOWN from £50 to £20. The main option to provide
cover over £20 is to use the new 'tracked' service (now up to £150 cover).
This new service was supposed to be available at Post Offices from the beginning
of April but it's been delayed so the only way at the moment is use the online
'click and drop' service.
Cheers

For ~£50 parcels I am still using RM but just the basic Tracked 48 version at
£3.39 (plus 20p extra as I often drop off at PO for convenience). When booking
online it still says that it has compensation to £150. Tracking is enough to
protect against "not delivered" claims and I feel insurance is probably
overkill for damage although it does mean I tend to package boxed sets so they
shouldn't be damaged. I find that decent enough for up to 2kg parcels and
never had an issue with late or lost deliveries with the parcel service (unlike
the large letter service).
I know Evri is slightly cheaper if dropping off light parcels, but there is no
convenient drop-off point for me.

| Correction.. £9.95 for a small parcel insured up to £5.
Thats still up £5.30. Evri is about £5 & up.

Not as bad as some of the Special Delivery services which are now up to £10 more
than they were. The most expensive Special Delivery band is now £30.55!

You don’t need to talk to anyone, just fill in a change request.

You can also enter your own dimensions in your inventory if it is causing an
issue still.
