All I want to do is send a "cute" mug to to an elderly relative in Canada.
The whole little box weighs less than 500g - but I have to pay as if it weighed more than a kilo.
What money-grabbing TOAD invented volumetric pricing????
AAARGHHHH!!!!!

That is absolutely ridiculous. Not surprised you're gobsmacked.

the cost of postage to Canada and USA is terrible, I post to USA and Christmas presents cost the earth
No! I was looking at Parcelforce and couriers. It's less than half the price sent as a small packet!
CB - Thank you!
Sometimes it pays to whinge...

Before I got the computer I used to send loads of parcels to Canada and the US - now I order direct from their US or Canadian florists - they also do chocolates with flowers and baskets of goodies at Christmas.
Which is all very well until you want to add a personal touch and find you are so very out of touch with postage changes. I thought I was going to have to pay £32.60!!!!
