You can now pack up to 5kg in any of our Flat Rate Satchels and boxes.
Prior to 30 September 2019, when you sent something weighing 5kg or under in a Flat Rate Satchel, your postage was based on the weight range for the satchel you chose. If it weighed more than the maximum allowable weight for your satchel size, you were charged at the next weight level.
Now, instead of pricing being based on weight range, it’s based on four satchel sizes - Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large. Each size has its own flat rate. And you can now pack up to 5kg in, no matter which size you choose.
Here’s how our new size-based system for Flat Rate Satchels compare to the previous weight-based system:
