That's the problem. On a large letter 100g item, it is £1.55. The tracked equivalent is £2.75.
Granted, the Tracked 48 Large Letter is up to 1kg instead of up to 100g for the stamp. However, a small, low value item that is going large letter is likely to not weigh that much, and even the 250g price bracket will be less than £2.75. This will put off buyers.
At least on the other platform that has this type of delivery system, they allow pick up from either an InPost Locker or an Evri Parcelshop and the price for delivery to a collection point starts from £2.29 (fully tracked), not £2.70 or £2.75... that other site also allows the buyer to choose their delivery provider from the options the seller has enabled, unlike here where it only says "standard tracked delivery" and neither buyer (doesn't state courier, not even at checkout) nor seller (just given a label from one of two options) have any say in the delivery choice!
What a mess up!!
