Is anyone else having problems with Simple Delivery or is it just me?
I'm having problems with the new Simple Delivery. I thought I selected a up to 750g label by default as I put on a Nintendo Switch game, but it gave me 100g label - maybe it selects 100g large letter by default. With this you also can't change it aft...
Inconsistencies with postage cost (Simple Delivery)

This is just beyond belief... let me explain this situation: I posted up a watch for sale at £32 (or so I thought). It instantly sold. I wasn't expecting that so I looked at the price and it was £22. Damn. It was a typo. I immediately contacted the b...
