As we're about to start selling our mugs online, I'm looking into the various postage options. Currently we post the badges we sell by just keeping stamps in stock and knowing the cost of our various envelope sizes/weights/destinations and having a set of scales. Now that we're adding mugs to the product line, I'm looking at post office costs and wondering if using a courier company would be cheaper for single/multiple mugs and thought I'd ask what people here tend to do.
I had looked at a small franking set up but with machines costing around £1200 plus maintenance, I think I'll stick with buying a stock of stamps regularly. However, I'd like to avoid having to go to the post office counter as much as possible as it's not always convenient due to work and because I'm thoroughly fed up with them trying to sell me every type of financial service under the sun every single time I go in to buy a stamp.
Thanks,
Justin.
