i always use the online service and you get a good range of prices
when you are in the post offices they try and up-sell and charge you as much as possible.
i recently took in an obvious 'letter' under their categories and she still insisted in putting it through their letter checker 😕
it's a lot of money these days but they'll argue it's still good value for money

Prices have gone through the roof since I took ill health retirement from being a postie ~18 months ago, thankfully I still have a stash of the old Xmas stamps we were given each year!

For a standard parcel there's a 20p tracked fee that can be done. It's recent and several Post Office staff don't seem to know about it and keep thinking I want Recorded Delivery.

But can you use them if they haven't got a QR code attached?

I'm not 100%, but I think old stamps with special edition like nativity scene are still legal without QR code.

I sent an item back to the seller last week. The Post Office cashier asked me how much it was worth. I told her I paid £279 for it, so she suggested me paying £13.35 for guaranteed compensation of up to £500 should the parcel go missing in transit, adding that it'd get there before 1pm within 2 days at the latest, with the receiver texting me to let me know the parcel had arrived. I paid it for peace of mind and everything went to plan, with the seller's supposed money back in 8 to 10 days being put back into my bank account only 2 days after letting me know they'd received the parcel. Everything went to plan, so I was happy with the service.
