I send my items recorded for my own protection, a bit like when people use paypal to pay for goods, they have protection. I appireate the extra 50p but in my defence, my thread states postage is £5.50.
My postage fees are for a parcel bag to send you're item, petrol to get to and from the post office, the cost of the Royal Mail postage service.
I can include a copy of a receipt for you for 2nd class recoreded IF the weight allows me to send it as this weight.
Thanks
Wesley
