I only charge actual postage as close as I can estimate it. All parcels are insured in transit. Courier services such as Fedex may be cheaper than Royal Mail or Parcelforce for larger parcels and I normally check the different options before sending an invoice. Always happy to combine postal charges if buying more than one item.
