The cheapest Royal Mail option is Tracked 48 (bought online) at £3.75, and the cheapest courier is Evri ParcelShop to ParcelShop at £2.62 – so for a pair of jeans, a courier is cheaper by £1.13. Royal Mail delivers to the door and you can hand it in at any Post Office; courier drop-off services are often cheaper but may need the recipient to collect from a shop or locker.
How to pack a pair of jeans for posting
- Fold the jeans in half lengthways, then in thirds, to make a neat rectangle.
- Slide them into a mailing bag and press out the air.
- Check the weight - heavy denim can be 600-900g packed.
- Seal the bag and add the label to the flattest side.
Common mistake: Jeans are just too thick to be a Large Letter once folded. Don't try to force them - a squashed, bulging envelope will be charged as a parcel anyway.
Good to know
When selling several pairs together, a single mailing bag up to 2kg is usually far cheaper than separate parcels.
