The biggest problem here is that if you send something over 3cm thick, you need to pay for maxi-letter price, no matter how light the thing is. So sending out felted bags an pouches... Silly! <br /><br />Have a lovey Tuesday, sunny and bright!<br /><br />Yours,<br />MiaMiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17091011579531371814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957798667037061304.post-67067282631131704982013-07-02T13:05:53.362+03:002013-07-02T13:05:53.362+03:00We too have these silly shipping price increases w...We too have these silly shipping price increases which makes it very hard for small business users.

We have also had a big postal price increase, it's really parcels that have been hit but it certainly makes a difference, there are some things I will have to stop selling and I know others are in the same position. It's so hard when you are a small home run business to keep making a profit.
