Do it as collection only. The last thing that you want is for the buyer to claim it was damaged and refuse to pay.

doesn't matter what we think the postage should be, its what the delivery company says the postage IS. If it helps postage has gone up considerably in the last 2 years, which is why some people are using alternative delivery companies
