Simple delivery is too expensive and doesn't include other options that would be cheaper for my item
The Simple Delivery service is now too expensive for my needs. Because my item measures a little over 60 cm, it automatically qualifies as a ‘Bulky Item,’ bringing the shipping cost to roughly £13. Previously, I could ship similar packages much more affordably through carriers like Evri or Yodel, but this change makes selling some products no longer feasible.

OP10 months agoThanks so much for the reply. However, this isn't my problem - I can choose bulky as an option, but previously I could add dimensions for my item and it would cost between £3 to £5 to ship (usually with Evri or Yodel) as its just over 61cm, but still narrow and light (its a shelf bracket). Now my only option is "bulky" at £12.95 fixed shipping with pickup by DHL, or nothing else. The item is listed at £20, so having to add £13 for unnecessarily expensive shipping is the problem.

Mentor10 months agoAre you seeing DHL as a postage option? This has recently been added and I believe it accepts items up to 120cm in size.
Otherwise, there are 2 workarounds to use for oversize items:

or from the link below, another workaround is offered:
