I have just been to the post office to send two identicle parcels, one to uk and one to switzerland. The Switzerland one was cheaper
How does that work?

And for a bit more PO wierdness....
They wouldn't issue a tax disc because the insurance certificate didn't have a 'proper' signature. The cert was done on a lazer printer just like every one of my certs has been for the past few years!So I did it online......
Incidentaly, I didn't sign the 'Support us and Keep your Post Office Open' petition...

Be interesting to hear which one reaches it's destination first too

Maybe the one going to Manchester is levied for hazard reasons. I was posting leaflets once at work with a mate and someone had smeared dog eggs in their letter box and he got a right hand full!
Needless to say I was full of sympathy
