When using Click & Post or Advantage Card labels you can track your parcel using our
Track and Trace service. Your item will be scanned when it is collected from the post office and this scan will then show up on our tracking service. Your item will be scanned again on delivery, giving you peace of mind that it has arrived safely.
The size and weight of your item determines which category of post it falls into and the cost of sending it. Our
Sending Guide can help you to determine whether you’re posting a letter, large envelope, packet or parcel.
Ideally, you should weigh your item to ensure you pay the correct postage. However, if you’re in a hurry or don’t have access to a weighing scales, our Weight Guide below can help you to determine the weight of commonly-posted items.
If you send an item with insufficient postage for its size or weight, it will be returned to you with the loss of the original postage.
