Royal Mail Collection Fee

[ero.vrko1]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know about the collection charge for parcels now on Royal Mail?

Sent a couple of items yesterday, collected this morning and just wanted to book one in for collection tomorrow and a 30p charge to collect??

Thanks

Free collection was a long-term special offer.

Royal Mail have now reverted to charging users for this service.

Going to be too expensive for me. 
tonight’s mail alone is going to cost me £3:40 extra to post 8 large letters off .

Can’t afford it

Yep, the "free collection" offer has now ended.  Unfortunately, eBay don't include this cost, or the cost of packing materials in their mandatory "simple postage" and as usual eBay expects sellers to fund these costs from their earnings in the same way, as in reality, private sellers wear the cost of buyer protection.
