Why are labels so big when you want to post a parcel?  | |  Today I took quite a few parcels to be posted (I live in England) All of the ones that needed sending to the UK needed 2 stickers on, but a couple of them I had to rewrite the address smaller, so that these 2 stickers could go on, each one was about 3 inches square, so if you're parcel is 6 inches (a general envelope is only 6 inches long) then you have to either write the address so small it gets lost between the stickers or repackage the item in a bigger package, which can then make it more expensive to post.
But to send packages abroad their are still 2 stickers needed, one which says AirMail and is about as big as that writing and one which is about 2 inches square.
So why can't the postage stickers be smaller?

| | 2.  sunnysmiles (642) | 4 months ago |  I'm glad I'm not the only one that this has happened to. It's really annoying as I send mail abroad to relatives and I have to make a concious effort to make sure the envelope is big enough to take the stickers, even if the envelope is 3 times bigger than it's contents! It's even worse if you need to add a Fragile sticker. I can't see any reason why they can't be smaller but then no doubt Royal Mail will say it's too costly to replace the machines that print the postage. There were never problems like this when you could lick and stick the stamps by hand AND put them where you wanted!
