Richardtr3a Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 Today I had to send off my entry form for The Cuckoo Fayre at Laughton Sussex. The entry form had to have two first class stamps in the envelope. So I had to buy three stamps. I was at The Post Office in Uckfield, Sussex and was very surprised to discover the cost of stamps was more than I could remember as a young boy many years ago. Anyway a single stamp was £1.80. The form was only going locally but there had to be two stamps inside so I bought three. How much is a small parcel ??? Richard Quote

PriceLes Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 Put my A series overdrive slider drum into the post late Tuesday afternoon Australia express post ( AU$64/ £33.86) and it landed in the UK in less that 48 hours.I wonder how long it will take the local post to get to Overdrive Repair Services and the return cost to Australia.
