Its why for larger items I often end up going and picking them up myself due to the cost of postage/courier.

If theyre busy enough there should never be an empty van running from one place to another
This is just what I was gonna say (although with less big words....).
If I drive ONE package for a fiver I could take it 50 miles. If I have two thats only £2.50 each. Take 10 and its then only 50 pence each. And thats exactly how royal mail should work, granted thier lorries probably don't do 60mpg but with such a huge quantity of mail it'll barely cost anything each. I know you've then gotta pay wages and maintenance but if they could do it for £3 before, to almost double is taking the piss tbh...if they'd stuck 50p on I probably wouldn't have taken any notice but £2.50...
