Just to remind those who send overseas mail, that the last posting date for surface mail to Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan etc is 30th Sept.
I sent my family parcels today and they were expensive enough surface mail.  Cards, under 20 gms and less than 5mm thick and under A5 in size are 81p by surface mail, £1.28 by air mail. As I have a dozen or so cards to send, I save a lot by sending by sea mail. Mind you, they often get in with air mail and then my friends get an early card!!
Just thought for anyone else has friends or relatives overseas, they may want to get posting (and weighing!) ASAP to save money.
