Direct Mailing Tips
Avoid light "large letters" - Fold A4 if possible
Folding A4 items will move the item from a "large letter" to a "letter" classification and save on postage
Watch the thickness
Many "packets" could qualify for cheaper "letter" or "large letter" prices if you keep the thickness to less than 5mm (letter) or 25mm (large letter)
A3 packet is cheaper than packet
Only available for bulk mail users but often a cheaper option for some items eg parts and samples, books, cylindrical packages
Use the "free" weight
The first price band now extends to 100g instead of 60g. Can you use the additional weight? If you go above 100g think if you can use any additional "free" weight since the price now remains the same up to 250g
Any shape within format is allowed
Provided you are within the overall dimensions of the format you can still mail round, star shaped or other unusual shape mailers at the same price as a "conventional" shape
