Pad & bandages - how much to post?

[montanna]

A lady has bought a dressage saddlecloth (quite thick - HKM gently with fleece lining) and 4 polo bandages from me for £30 plus postage - how much do you think I should charge for postage? I have no idea!

Go to the post office with pad and bandages packaged up and get a quote.

Check what the going rate is for postage of similar on ebay?

Thanks, I am going to send it by myhermes though as won't be able to get to a post office.

Ebay varies so much... People just tend to put in free postage & include it in the auction price...Just need a rough ballpark as I have no idea!

Pack them up and weigh them on kitchen scales. Then look on My Hermes website. Under 1kg is £2.98 and 1-2 kg is £3.98. I would always pay an extra £1 to get a signature on delivery as it means you have proof of delivery. So a maximum of £5 should do it for the postage and decide if you want to add some on for packaging etc.
Hope that helps.

It will be under a kg so via the post office it'll be £2.80 2nd class and £3.20 1st class .
