To insure a parcel up the value of £50 for small parcels in the UK is now £12.95 [special delivery} with Royal Mail. Thats up from £4.65!! Reluctantly, I've started using Evri. Since RM have gone into private ownership, prices have shot up & the service down hill. One way to kill a business.

The main option to provide cover over £20 is to use the new 'tracked' service (now up to £150 cover). This new service was supposed to be available at Post Offices from the beginning of April but it's been delayed so the only way at the moment is use the online 'click and drop' service. Cheers Steve
