Photocopying and pricing up sending a package

Just got all the photocopying of things done today. This meant a trip into a photocopy shop as libraries tend not to have A3 size photocopiers. Total cost of that, including parking, 72p!

I have been researching the costs of getting the info to New Zealand. The cheapest and fastest route is good old Royal Mail. Anything up to 2kg can be sent by "Airsure", the link to it is below, where NZ is a cost bracket all of its own. There are size restrictions like the total of the length, width and depth of the packet must not exceed 90cm. The letter should take 4 days to arrive and can be tracked too. Given the cost of the documents and the replacement costs I would advise taking the £500 insurance even though it costs a relatively high £2.

The next cheapest I found was £50, so I ain't taking those as an option.

Costs today 72p

Total costs = £283.25+£0.72 =£283.97
