Description:

As those of you from the UK probably know the price of a first class stamp goes up on 30 April by a massive 30%. So here is a challenge for you:

Send an envelope to your partner 99 grams or less. So that’s the cost of a Large letter first class stamp now set at 90p or you can send it by second class post and that will be 69p. But remember the envelope cannot be any bigger than 35cm x 25cm x 2.5cm. The aim of this swap is not to go over the price of one Large Letter stamp.

What to put in – whatever you like (this is of course within reason and should not include rubbish). Think of it as a stuffed envelope kind of swap. This is sender’s choice although I am sure most people on here would want to look at their partners profile and send them something they want/could use.

Some examples of light weights things are:

  • bookmark
  • stickers
  • ribbon
  • cards
  • postcards

But use your imagination a bit here.

Newbies are welcome but I ask that well established swappers have a rating of at least 4.9. I will also be checking for recent 1s and 3s. I reserve the right to let someone in this swap with a recent 1 or 3 if the explanation is plausible this is at my discretion. If I do this and that persons flakes I will name and shame and angel myself. However I don’t expect this to happen with the good people of Swap-Bot.

The Royal Mail will also be charging one rate for packages from 0g to 750g @ £2.70, personally I will just use MyHermes :-D
