• Royal Mail plans to convert around 1,400 existing boxes across the UK so that pre-paid parcels can fit in the slot. It is the first major change of use for postboxes since they were introduced 160.
• I’m working for royal mail sat and Sunday emptying some of these boxes and we take all the post back to the sorting office markmatthews 2021-01-06 20:30:46 UTC #4 The collection is done every day on these boxes because the tests have to be tested.

If like me you're fed up with queuing at the post office to send a parcel or international post, then this might come in handy!

This tool calculates which stamps you need to put on your item in order to get the postage up to the correct value such that you can simply throw your international post in any postbox, or drop your parcel off at your local sorting office (or squeeze it into a postbox!). You could even use one of the fancy new Parcel Postboxes. Super handy!

Parcel Post Boxes Royal Mail Tracking

Simply check that the stamp prices in the boxes below are correct (they are as of April 2021), enter your target price taken from the Royal Mail price list here, and it'll tell you which stamps to put on your item!

For example, to send a 100g Large Letter to Australia (£4.20), you'd put 1 Second Class, 2 First Class Large Letter and 1 Second Class Large Letter stamp on your item, then throw it into any postbox! No queuing, boom!

If you don't have a specific stamp type available, simply clear the price from the relevant box.
