Royal Mail Large Letters!

In the UK, Royal Mail has specific guidelines for sending large letters, which are defined as items that exceed the standard A4 size (210mm x 148mm) but are still smaller than a large parcel. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Size and Weight:

• Maximum size: 353mm x 250mm x 25mm (13.9" x 9.8" x 1")
• Maximum weight: 750g (26.4 oz)

Postage:

• Large letters are charged at a higher rate than standard letters, but lower than parcels.
• The cost of sending a large letter depends on the weight, size, and destination.
• You can check the current prices on the Royal Mail website.

Packaging:

• Large letters should be packaged in a sturdy envelope or a specially designed large letter bag to prevent damage during transit.
• Make sure to seal the envelope or bag securely to prevent contents from spilling out.

Labeling:

• Attach a clear and legible address label to the front of the envelope or bag.
• Include the recipient's name and address, as well as any relevant postage information (e.g., postage stamps or a printed postage label).

Special Considerations:

• Large letters may be subject to additional handling and processing fees, especially if they are fragile or contain valuable items.
• Some items, such as packages containing liquids, gases, or hazardous materials, may require special handling and may not be eligible for large letter postage.

Remember to always check the Royal Mail website for the most up-to-date information on large letter postage rates, sizes, and guidelines.
