When the prices go up again on the 2nd of next month, will the maximum compensation figure for standard airmail be changing (going down to £20 like regular inland 1st/2nd class post)? Or is it staying at £46?
We have also consulted on international compensation levels in order to bring them more in-line with our domestic ones, but also to reflect our obligations under the Universal Postal Union convention. Airmail & Surface mail compensation is proposed to reduce from £46 to £20. Where customers are sending important or valuable items, they should use Airsure or International Signed For as items sent using these services travel through a secure network, have tracking and / or signature options and we offer standard compensation of £50 with the availability of higher levels of compensation. The changes to compensation levels aim to assist our customers in choosing the most appropriate services for their needs.
and this is reflected in the March 2013 Overseas Letter Post Scheme (section 16.10) at http://www.royalmail.com/non-contract-t ... conditions (although that scheme took effect on 1st March 2013 whereas the compensation change was originally meant to happen on 2nd April 2013)
Last question. International airmail for medium parcels - is there a price list for that anywhere? Granted, I may have been staring straight at it, but that doesn't seem to be mentioned on the new price list.
Medium parcels is an inland format as is small parcels.
On the other hand, small packets is an international format which currently depends on the contents not the size. International mail is due to change eventually to a size-based service but there's no confirmed date for that yet. So use either the international letters or international small packets price list depending on the contents of your item. The size is irrelevant as long as you are within the maximum allowed sizes
