If you will be sending say, 50 items a week, what is the best method of posting, is there any business services from, for example, royal mail that have good prices and also a good service?

[Titchimp]

Without knowing the size of the items i couldn't say but for small letters/packets nobody can really beat Royal mail on price.

many courier services offer discounts on posting, for the amount of stuff you send. it all depends as already said, what size the products you will be posting are. also another factor is whether you will be shipping worldwise?

Myhermes do have good prices, but are somewhat unreliable at times.

The RM have plenty of negative points, few of them:
- irresponsible delivery even using 1st Class Recorded
- RM don't use the post code system (I had a several letters with wrong post code for different people)

depends on what you are sending, but www.collectmyparcel.com have a good selection of services, and the cheapest I've found in the UK for sending parcels above 10kg.

Interparcel get good prices and if you send 10 or more parcels a day use their sister site sendex for bigger savings, not sure on their prices for letters/packets but their parcel prices are pretty good
