post and packing

[andy20678]

i have 7 of these all the same size and packing size f3 is too small and if i use h5 packing the price with extras added would come to £7 to post and no one would buy any. so would there be a cheaper way to post them so the packing price would be much lower

What is f3 & h5? Perhaps actual size & weight would help with a response!

f3 is small parcel packing and h3 is medium parcel

Are you sure?

The maximum dimensions for a Small Parcel are 45cm x 35cm x 16cm and the maximum weight is 2kg. According to several retailers H/5 is 36cm x 27cm - no maximum height is given but those envelopes certainly do not look like they'll stretch to 16cm deep.

It looks to me as though F/3 is Large Letter size and H/5 is Small Parcel size.

I've just noticed you stated H3, not H/5. Where are you buying your packaging from? None of the big suppliers have such a size and a Google search returned nothing. You're probably going to have to state the weight and dimensions of the package to get a definitive answer but as a general rule anything Small Parcel size or smaller is best sent by Royal Mail whilst anything over SP size will be cheaper to send via a courier by booking through a parcel broker.
