The rationale for fewer weight steps ...Also @Larry.<br />The rationale for fewer weight steps has been borne out by the elimination of the three steps below 750g for packets. <br /><br />Yes, a heavier packet costs more in fuel but a lighter one can take just as much space and truck-volume is the other thing to consider.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-64092037633065281812012-03-28T07:10:24.060-12:002012-03-28T07:10:24.060-12:00@Larry

We will see which organization survives.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I guess everyone in the UK with a few spare quid (do you still say that?) will be snapping up NVIs to put away.<br /><br />Does anyone know (or have a theory) why Royal Mail doesn't return to having a lower weight step, at lower cost, for letters? In the US, the first step up to one ounce is 45 cents. A letter of 3.5 ounces, roughly 100g, is $1.05. There would be a revolt if the USPS suddenly abolished lower weight steps and all said all letters up to 3.5 ounces cost $1.05.<br /><br />--LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-36533540909663703382012-03-27T07:22:49.452-12:002012-03-27T07:22:49.452-12:00Do we know what the new values will be yet?Do we know what the new values will be yet?Trelantishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04537566448394951396noreply@blogger.com
